East Asia-Europe- USA Progressive Scholars’ Forum, 2003 Socialism in the Twentieth Century: a historical reflection Donald Sassoon Queen Mary, University of London 1. Introduction Those who venture to discuss the meaning of socialism confront two distinct but not incompatible strategies: the essentialist and the historical. The essentialist strategy proceeds in conventional Weberian fashion. Socialism is an ideal-type, empirically deduced from the activities or ideas of those commonly regarded as socialists. Once the concept is constructed, it can be used historically to assess concrete political organisations, their activists and thinkers and measure the extent to which they fit the ideal type, why and when they diverge from each other, and account for exceptional behaviour. This procedure, of great heuristic value, is still broadly accepted and widely used, even though its theoretical rigour is highly dubious as the analysis rests on a somewhat arbitrary selection of the ‘socialist’ organisations and individuals used to produce the ideal-type concept of socialism. This procedure has the added disadvantage that, if strictly adhered to, it does not allow for historical change. Once the ideal-type is defined, novel elements cannot easily be integrated into it. However, life must go on, even in sociology. So when something new turns up, such as a revisionist interpretation, all that is required is to hoist the ideal-type onto the operating table, remove -if necessary- the bits which no longer fit, and insert the new ones.

  • John Le Carré's the Secret Pilgrim and the End of the Cold
    John le Carré’s The Secret Pilgrim and the End of the Cold War Jonathan Goodwin Abstract. The Secret Pilgrim was John le Carré’s first novel to consider the end of the cold war. The author describes how the novel’s embedded structure reveals le Carré’s political perspective more clearly than previous works and argues that this narrative frame is an adaptation to the sud- den collapse of le Carré’s traditional subject matter. In a speech given at University of Edinburgh, John le Carré remarked that only the spy novel could reveal the world’s hidden agendas (qtd. in Atwood 21). His own represen- tational agendas of betrayal and duplicity in the cold war (and after) are revealed in an unusual way in his The Secret Pilgrim (1990). The book, which contains a series of discrete episodes linked with a frame narrative, reveals the relationship between le Carré’s politi- cal thought and narrative technique more clearly than any of his other works because of the bareness of its structure. A source for le Carré’s title may be Rupert Brooke’s poem “Dust”: And every mote, on earth or air, Will speed and gleam, down later days, And like a secret pilgrim far By eager and invisible ways, Nor ever rest, nor ever lie, Till, beyond thinking, out of view, One mote of all the dust that’s I Shall meet one atom that was you. (49) The transmutation of the body into its elements in death, and the romantic possibility of preservation of some spirit beyond it, are the immediate references in Brooke’s poem; the particulate imagery of atoms and motes is also significant.

I have been greatly helped in conducting the inquiry and writing the Report by my research assistant, Rachel Kay, and by Nan Craig and Alex Bagenal.

Failing Fascism: Outbreak of War and the Demise of the Party 75 7. Conclusions 92 8. Bibliography 98 2 Chapter 1 Introduction In recent years there has been an upsurge in nationalist rhetoric being used across Europe, as increasingly ethnically diverse countries have seen a number of clashes between differing groups. In Great Britain, this has led to the rise in popularity of two new political parties, the British National Party and the English Defence League.1 The British National Party is the more mainstream of the two organisations and the one that takes part in general elections. In 2005 the party received a total of 192,746 votes.2 However, by the next general election in 2010, the part had increased its number of votes to 563,743.3 This demonstrates the extent to which far-right wing nationalist parties have become more popular over a short period of time. The first nationalist far-right organisation that achieved any popularity in Great Britain was the British Union of Fascists in the 1930‟s. These years leading up to the Second World War was the last time that nationalist movements were prominent in countries across Western Europe. The British Union of Fascists was a political party, formed in 1932 by Oswald Mosley.
