Reform, Revolution, and Opportunism: Debates in the Second International, 1900-1910 Taber Mike
An essential record from the Second International, assembled by Under the Socialist Banner editor Mike Taber.At its height, the Second (Socialist) International (1889-1914) represented the majority of organized workers in the world, with the revolutionary goal of overthrowing capitalism. Divergent perspectives on reform and revolution are expressed in these pages, as socialists debate topics that remain deeply contested today: Its major accomplishments--such as the eight-hour day and International Women's Day--remain a testimony to its lasting influence around the world.In this important collection of debates at congresses of the Second International, Reform, Revolution, and Opportunism captures the International's vibrancy and gives a snapshot of its strengths, weaknesses, and contradictions.
