The new party became thus the continuator of the Romanians' struggle for social and national freedom and of the revolutionary fights of the workers' movement. This movement, born directly from the social and political Romanian realities, was deeply rooted in the millenary history of the country and was inspired by the devotion to the vital interests of the Romanian people. As an organisation, it expressed the need felt by the working class and by the democratic and progressive forces at the end of the19thcentury to have a political force which could lead them in their fight for freedom and democratical rights, for better living standards, for ensurine national unity, sovereignty and independence. It is a well-known. fact that compared to other countries in Central and Western Europe, where the capitalist relations had expanded ever- since the end of the17thand the beginning of the18thcenturies, in the Romanian Countries the capitalist economic and socio-political develop- ment was for a long time hindered by several internal and external facts. The difficulties and adversities were cau.sed by the foreign domination and by the destruction or the transfer of inumerable material and spiri- tual goods which belonged to this people. But despite all hindrances, the objective necessities of the socio-economic and political development determined the emergence of production relations of a capitalist type and along with these of the wage-earning workers. The process started in the mid18thcentury and continued ever more conspicuously at the beginning of the 19 tu century with the creation of the manufactures and the first factories. The formation of the capitalist mode of production and of its two characteristic social classes the middle-class and the proletariate was speeded up by a series of important events and social changes such as the revolution. of 1821, the bourgeois democratic revolution of 1848 1849, the Union of the Romanian Principalities and the formation of the Romanian modern national state (1859), the state independence of 1877. The RomInian proletariat° came into being and was formed in that period and from the very beginning was in the forefront of the s ocial- political movement for modernisation and progress of the country.ocial and national freedom were looked upon as organically connected ideals.

The spirit of fight which had inspired the first spontaneousmanifestations lead, as it continuously grew, to various attempts to organize the working class. The Association of printers was founded in 1843 in Brasov and was followed in the coming decades by working associations in Bucharest, Timisoara, Jassy, Cluj, Galati, Braila, etc. In 1872 already, there were 51 professional associations of the workers. This smoothed the way for the creation in October 1872 of the General Association of All the Workers in Romania, one of the oldest working organization in the world. The socialist movement appeased and developed in Romania at the same time with the process of professional organization and of growth of the strike movement. The process of interpenetration of the socialist movement with the workers' movement was the beginning of a new qualitative leap in the fight between capital and labour and supported a great deal the capacity to rally the proletarian forces. The socialist ideas found audience in Romania even since their uto- pical forms and manifested themselves in such original forms as the crea- tion in 1835 by the innitiative of Teodor Diamant of the Scaieni Prahova phalanstery. The ideas of scientific socialism and the marxist ideas found a propicious soil in this country, where the revolutionary movement took over the ideas of some Romanian progressive thinkers such as Nicolae Balcescu, Mihail Kogalniceanu, Simion Barnutiu, Cezar Bolliac and many others who were inspired by the revolutionary traditions of the Romanian people. The Romanian revolutionary movement also developed in close connection with the international revolutionary movement. It is under these conditions that in 1868 1870 the first socialist organizations were set up. Their activity was parallel to that of the professional workers' associations. Thus, for instance, four years only after the creation by Marx and Engels of the First Internationale, the General Workers' Asso- ciation was founded in Timisoara. It was an organization of a definite political profile and it was affiliated to the First Internationale. Starting with the eighth decade of the last century in Bucharest and Jassy, and afterwards in other towns of Romania, the first socialist clubs were set up. They carried on an active organization and propaganda life. They issued several publications of which the most penetrating were "Socialistul"
