Excerpt from How Socialism WorksTwo things are necessary to the success of any labor movement: the movement has got to know both where it is going and how to get there.Each is equally important. If a labor movement does not know the goal of all its efforts it can never succeed. The movement must know the final objective toward the attain ment of which the winning of every election, the calling of every strike, the organization of this or that section of the workers, the promotion of this or that piece of legislation, the building of this or that working-class political party, are all directed. There have been labor movements which did not know where they were going. The British Labor Movement, for example, has never paid much attention to the question of what it was really out to attain. For a long time such an indifference to the ultimate goal may not seem to matter very much. The work of the movement may go on with great apparent efficiency. Trade-unions may be well organized, strikes strongly fought, considerable elec tion triumphs registered. But in the long run, experience conclusively shows, a labor movement which does not know where it is going is bound to fail. In the end such a move ment is bound to lose direction, to take what appears to be the easy path, to fail to see the necessity of carrying through certain measures even in face of the strongest opposition and the greatest difficulties.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
