Document Summary
Included those middle class willing to compromise their wealth for the poor. Frustration in working class - employers didn"t deal with/recognize problems. Socialists = served as unified movement for working class. Liberalism failed to satisfy the need for leadership. Working class took matters into their own hands, created ideology for themselves to justify themselves. But different people meant different things by the same term. Complication of later scholarship engaging in retrospective history (looking for connections to explain narrative) All socialists share the beliefs that capitalist idea of owning, producing property --> leads to economic and social oppression (i. e. private property is bad) Need a way of addressing the problem => creates different groups who approach it in different way. Most socialists today - regulate and supervise economic issues should be identified -- so dist of property isn"t done arbitrarily. Regulation and legislation = karl marx didn"t agree. Born to a long line of rabbis in prussia.
