Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – and its two predecessor organizations, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM) – had their origins in the early 1970s, at the beginning of a long-term rightward shift of United States and global politics. This shift to the right – from the 1980s of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher – to the 2016 Donald Trump charade – overshadowed the central role these organizations played in the movements of resistance to corporate domination, as well as in today’s ongoing project: organizing an ideological and organizational socialist presence among trade union, community, feminist and people of color and other activists. DSA made an ethical contribution to the broader American Left by being one of the few radical organizations born out of a merger rather than a split. DSA also helped popularize the vision of a democratic, ecumenical, multi-tendency socialist organization, an ethos that enabled it to incorporate many thousands of new members, mostly out of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. Nevertheless, it was under the leadership of DSA Michael Harrington and his groundbreaking The Other America (1963) that catalyzed the civil rights movement, its leaders and the Kennedy Administrations to prioritize not only issues of race but equal attention to domestic poverty and inequality. This set the stage for Martin Luther King’s “Poor People’s Campaign.” The foundations of democratic socialism ...

Who was he? • Robert was born in Wales on 14 May 1771 . • He left school aged ten to train as a draper or cloth merchant ( a merchant is someone who trades in goods made by other people). A draper's shop would sell cloth for people to buy and make their own clothing. • At 21 he was managing a cotton mill in Manchester. • Owen saw working people had a very hard life and thought they would work more productively if they had better welfare and were happier. • At New Lanark mill in Scotland he gave workers shorter days , free healthcare and education from childhood to adulthood. • His belief in improving the lives of workers helped improve conditions in workplaces all over the world. • He later moved to America to start up new working communities. • Robert Owen died in Wales on 17 November 1858 aged 87 . Why is Owen so important? Owen believed working people deserved kinder treatment. He thought if all people had a better quality of life , it would create a better, happier society. To make workers' lives better Owen introduced the following ideas at New Lanark: • Free education system for everyone including: • A creche for working mothers • The first infant school in the world • A school for children with enjoyable lessons and no punishments! • Evening classes and lectures for adults • Free medical care • Children under 10 were not allowed to work in the mill. • The village shop became the model for cooperatives, offering cheaper goods for workers with profits going back into ...

In the early 1830s, British social reformer Robert Owen, called the “Founder of Socialism” [1] by contemporaries, brought forth his “Five Fundamental Facts” on human nature and ignited in London and elsewhere a dramatic debate — in the literal sense of fiery public discussions, as well as in books, pamphlets, and other works. While the five facts are cited in the extant literature on Owen and his utopian movement, a full exploration of the controversy is lacking, which is unfortunate for a moment that left such an impression on witnesses and participants. Famous secularist and editor George Jacob Holyoake, at the end of his life in 1906, wrote, “Human nature in England was never so tried as it was during the first five years” after Owen’s writings, when these five facts “were discussed in every town in the kingdom. When a future generation has courage to look into this unprecedented code as one of the curiosities of propagandism, it will find many sensible and wholesome propositions, which nobody now disputes, and sentiments of toleration and practical objects of wise import.” [2] The discourse continued into the 1840s, but its intensity lessened, and thus we will focus our attention on its decade of origin. This work will add to scholarship a little-explored subject, and argue that the great debate transcended common ideological divisions, not simply pitting socialist against anti-socialist and freethinker against believer, but freethinker against freethinker and socialis...
