[Laurence] Gronlund is best remembered for his pioneering work in adapting the International Socialism of Karl Marx and Ferdinand Lassalle to the American idiom in his popular 1884 book, The Cooperative Commonwealth...and the American socialist movement of the 1880s and 1890s.

no wonder Cali is so fucked up

2017-11-09 05:31:45 UTC  

apparently this guy was pretty influential back in the day... I actually wonder how much of an impact he had

Immediately upon its inception, the Fabian Society began attracting many prominent contemporary figures drawn to its socialist cause, including George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells...Even Bertrand Russell briefly became a member, but resigned after he expressed his belief that the Society's principle of entente (in this case, between countries allying themselves against Germany) could lead to war.

"The first Fabian Society pamphlets advocating tenets of social justice coincided with the zeitgeist of Liberal reforms during the early 1900s, including eugenics."

what the fuck

2017-11-09 05:35:40 UTC  

how far back does social justice go?

2017-11-09 05:35:52 UTC  

this rabbit hole just keeps going

2017-11-09 05:36:51 UTC  

"The Fabians lobbied for the introduction of a minimum wage in 1906, for the creation of a universal health care system in 1911"

2017-11-09 05:41:56 UTC  

"Through the course of the 20th century the group has always been influential in Labour Party circles, with members including...more recently Shirley Williams, Tony Blair"

2017-11-09 05:44:17 UTC  

"Direct or indirect Fabian influence may also be seen in the liberal socialism of Carlo Rosselli (founder, with his brother Nello Rosselli, of the anti-fascist group's Giustizia e Libertà)"

2017-11-09 05:44:28 UTC  

of course they're allied with the anti-fascists

Proactive misinformation

2017-11-09 07:11:47 UTC  

yeah right, I'm in australia and just checked out the Fabian Society. I have no idea of the foothold they have here

2017-11-09 07:21:12 UTC  

I hope they don't have a foothold

2017-11-09 07:21:19 UTC  

our country is getting fucked enough as is

2017-11-09 07:21:27 UTC  

we don't need those cunts making things worse

2017-11-09 12:48:18 UTC  

Social justice probably goes a long way

2017-11-09 12:48:52 UTC  

But, the social justice we now from our time, probably started or won more fame during gamegate I guess

2017-11-09 13:46:53 UTC  

It's sad we have to constantly remind people that, if social justice was just, we would call it "justice".

2017-11-09 13:47:27 UTC  

the power theyve had in past PM's is pretty intense but yeah, I guess we should be glad our climate isnt as full as say the US

2017-11-09 13:48:15 UTC  

Much like when we point out to a family member that "medicine that has been proved to work" is called "medicine".

time to post "its ok to be white" in womens bathrooms?

2017-11-09 14:48:34 UTC  

That's a smart idea, actually. To stop racism, why don't we just separate white people and ~~coloured people~~ people of colour in public facilities? Different bathrooms, entrances, sitting areas, drinking fountains. Why has nobody thought of this before?

2017-11-09 14:49:16 UTC  

Brilliant

2017-11-09 16:09:13 UTC  

Who would have guessed that Jim Crow was actually progressive.

Talk about a plot twist

2017-11-09 16:13:34 UTC  

Bring back the Jim Crow statue reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2017-11-09 16:25:44 UTC  

so is r/politics full of neo-progressives. Was just having a look through and its hard not to go crazy not buying into the doctrine of it all

An entire sub dedicated to pointing out politics' absurdity

2017-11-09 16:39:29 UTC  

beautiful

2017-11-09 16:40:53 UTC  

Im somewhat glad in not in the states but I live in an ultra-progressive bubble, sometimes its feels like fucking stasiland or something
