  • A Socialistic State in the First World
    352 History of North Dakota CHAPTER 16 A Socialistic State in the First World War THE RISE AND FALL of the Nonpartisan League was a part of the agrarian discontent of all the western states, a part of colonial revolt wherever colonial status prevailed. In a similar vein, North Dakota’s response to the First World War was part of a world-wide development. The war was a turning point in the history of all nations and all peoples. Its impact upon government, taxation, agriculture, and industry was everywhere profound. The tremendous efforts, the millions of dead, the violence and destruction, the overturning of social systems, and the rise of Communism and Fascism brought a deepening disillusionment which eroded old values and ways of thinking, weakened democratic and Christian ideologies, and brought a revolution in manners and morals. The titanic struggle profoundly altered every aspect of life throughout the world. What was North Dakota’s response to the war, and how did the war affect the state? As with its agrarian revolt, North Dakota, a land of extremes, made a strong response, stronger than that of many other places. Its response was affected by the state’s colonial status and the attitudes springing from that status. The war, in turn, reacted upon the fundamentally agricultural character of the state, bringing near disaster by inflation to the semiarid grassland. There was continuity as well as change in the war years. The Nonpartisan League and North Dakotans generally did not want the United States to enter the First World War. They regarded President Woodrow Wilson’s rigid position on neutral rights as unjustifiable; they believed that powerful financial and industrial interests, more concerned with profits than democracy, were pushing the nation toward war.

    The Commune Movement during the 1960s and the 1970s in Britain, Denmark and the United States Sangdon Lee Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of History September 2016 i The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

  • To All Enrolled Socialist Voters: a Statement on the Primaries [Election of April 2, 1936] by Jack Altman, Et Al
    To All Enrolled Socialist Voters: A Statement on the Primaries [Election of April 2, 1936] by Jack Altman, et al. Published in The Socialist Call [New York], New York Edition, v. 2, whole no. 54 (March 28, 1936), pg. 1. You have a difficult task, but as Socialists you must be equal to your responsibility. On April 2 you will decide the immediate fu- ture of the Socialist Party in New York State. With two slates listed on the ballot, you must choose. We are sure that your choice will be made on the basis of which slate will be better able to build the Socialist Party. On the one hand, you have the Old Guard ticket set forth by Louis Waldman, which backs him in the attacks he has been mak- ing on the Socialist Party. Because he was defeated in the national convention [Detroit: June 1-3, 1934] he has waged a bitter fight for two years against the Party. On the other hand, you have the ticket supported by Norman Thomas, who today leads the Party in its most aggressive strug- gles. The Old Guard has tried to make it seem that we are Commu- nists. This is not true. We are Socialists who want the Party and its leaders to participate in a militant fight for the principles of Social- ism. We do not deny that some of the Old Guard have served So- cialism in the past. But they have since lived through a period of decline, with the party growing weaker, and they have never re- covered from it.
