Petty, has investigated the real relations of production in bourgeois society, in contradistinction to vulgar economy, which deals with appearances only, ruminates without ceasing on the materials long since provided by scientific economy, and there seeks plausible explanations of the most obtrusive phenomena, for bourgeois daily use, but for the rest, confines itself to systematizing in a pedantic way, and proclaiming for everlasting truths, the trite ideas held by the self-complacent bourgeoisie with regard to their own world, to them the best of all possible worlds.” —Marx.1 PUBLISHING HISTORY PRINTED EDITION ......................................

In sending out in book form this work by Daniel De Leon, which is the first published since his death, a few remarks on the author and the subject treated might not be amiss. The pamphlet is made up of a series of articles which appeared in the Daily People from April 8 to June 29, 1912, and should have been concluded by an “Epilogue.” For some reason De Leon did not finish this chapter, and the notes left are not complete, and what there is, is hardly legible.1 Daniel De Leon was born on December 14, 1852, on the island of Curaçao, off the coast of Venezuela.

    WOBBLIES OF THE WORLD i Wildcat: Workers’ Movements and Global Capitalism Series Editors: Peter Alexander (University of Johannesburg) Immanuel Ness (City University of New York) Tim Pringle (SOAS, University of London) Malehoko Tshoaedi (University of Pretoria) Workers’ movements are a common and recurring feature in contemporary capitalism. The same militancy that inspired the mass labour movements of the twentieth century continues to define worker struggles that proliferate throughout the world today. For more than a century labour unions have mobilised to represent the political- economic interests of workers by uncovering the abuses of capitalism, establishing wage standards, improving oppressive working conditions, and bargaining with em- ployers and the state. Since the 1970s, organised labour has declined in size and influ- ence as the global power and influence of capital has expanded dramatically. The world over, existing unions are in a condition of fracture and turbulence in response to ne- oliberalism, financialisation, and the reappearance of rapacious forms of imperialism. New and modernised unions are adapting to conditions and creating class-conscious workers’ movement rooted in militancy and solidarity. Ironically, while the power of organised labour contracts, working-class militancy and resistance persists and is growing in the Global South. Wildcat publishes ambitious and innovative works on the history and political econ- omy of workers’ movements and is a forum for debate on pivotal movements and la- bour struggles. The series applies a broad definition of the labour movement to include workers in and out of unions, and seeks works that examine proletarianisation and class formation; mass production; gender, affective and reproductive labour; imperialism and workers; syndicalism and independent unions, and labour and Leftist social and political movements.

Box 218 Mountain View, CA 94042-0218 www.slp.org•[email protected] Early Efforts at Socialist Unity By Nathan Karp I. One of the questions most frequently raised by people seeking an alternative to the capitalist political parties is: “Why can’t or don’t all the parties calling themselves socialist unite?” The question is hardly of recent vintage. It has been posed repeatedly down through the years by sincere workingmen and workingwomen both puzzled and disturbed by what seems to them to be mere squab- bling among organizations and groups that really have common princi- ples and a common goal. And the questioners generally assume that there have never been any conscientious efforts to establish unity among the organizations calling themselves socialist. Actually, that is not the case. There have been efforts—determined and persistent efforts—to establish a principled unity among organiza- tions calling themselves socialist. For the light it throws on the subject, we review one of the most persistent efforts here. Prior to the turn of the century, there was, to all intents and purposes, only one significant socialist organization in the United States—the Socialist Labor Party. As one writer put it, the SLP “virtually embodied socialism” in this country between 1876 and 1900.
