Excerpt from Appeal Socialist Classics, Vol. 1This pamphlet contains a collection of some of the more important platforms, programs and manifestoes of the Socialist and radical labor movement from the time of the publication of the Communist Manifesto to the present time. The arrangement is chronological, and the selec tions are thus illustrative of the development of Socialist principles and policy and the growth of the organized movement. Expressions of prominent individuals would no doubt in many cases have thrown an added light on this development, but the intention has been to assemble in this pamphlet mainly those expressions which are authoritative in that they voice the common thought of organized groups or parties.The manuscript for this pamphlet was finished before the promulgation of the 1916 platform of the Socialist party of the United States. The platform of 1912 is retained in full as the more historic document of the two, since it was the first comprehensive statement of the party's atti tude on current social questions. Though the working de mands of the 1916 platform are in the main repeated from the 1912 platform, the preamble is largely devoted to ques tions relating to the war. The party's attitude thereon is fully expressed in the two documents of 1914 and 1915.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
