Abstract

The Socialist Party Today
Stolberg, Benjamin | June 5, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the socialist party, a political party of the United States. According to the author, five years ago the party had less than 10,000 members in some 500 locals. Today it has more than 20,000 members in almost 1,000 locals. The number of its liberal sympathizers must have increased correspondingly. As the crisis deepens, the more swank or bohemian or naive revolutionaries in New York are becoming fellow-travelers of the Communist Party, whose infantile leftism satisfies their craving for social adventure. But the provincial intelligentsia and the lesser professional reformers are apt to follow in the wake of the pink Chautauquas of Norman Thomas.
