Theories And Practices Of Scientific Socialism PDF Download

Excerpt from Socialism, in Theory and Practice: Being a Lecture Delivered to a Working Class Audience This lecture delivered early in 1884, and afterwards printed as a pamphlet, seems somewhat out of place in 1887. Things have been rapidly changing in the last three years. The discontent of the hand workers has become greater and more manifest; if I read the times aright, we are still only at the threshold of the social crisis. The socialist of the market-place has accomplished many things, of which one only seems to me of real value. The Church Parade is a brilliant inspiration and will do much good if it brings home to our shepherds how completely they have been neglecting the herd in order to pipe to the dancing of their mistresses, Wealth and Power. On the other hand the need for a scientific exposition of evolutionary Socialism is as pressing and as unsupplied as ever. It is only after repeated request from the publisher that I have consented to a reprint in its present form of a pamphlet which has no claim to be a scientific treatment of a very difficult and urgent problem.
