Sinopsis

Excerpt from Guild Politics: A Practical Programme for the Labour Party the Co-Operators

The Labour Party is on the verge of a very new epoch in its career. Hitherto it has been in the position of a tradesman who has scarcely made the public under stand that he has opened a new shop, or where it is situated. Now the Labour Party is within a very moderate distance of the seat of government. It has a reasonable chance of being soon the governing political party in the State.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Guild Politics: A Practical Programme for the Labour Party the Co-Operators

It is a somewhat ironical situation. To have waited for power so long; to have almost touched it - just at the moment when intelligent persons are wondering whether anything could possibly be worse than another government of any kind whatsoever. Until Lenin and Trotsky tried, there was the com fort that nothing could be worse than the last - but now almost that hope has disappeared. However, that portion of human progress which is defined as the next government does not come as a matter of deliberate choice. The mills of destiny (whether heavenly or satanic) go on grinding, heartlessly inde pendent of human desires and it is written in the sands that the next political flour from the political mill will be of the Labour kind. It is certainly the only sign of sanity on the political horizon it is rapidly becoming the only hope of hundreds of thousands of intelligent people who do not come within the dictionary's definition of the term Labour.

The Labour Party is on the verge of a very new epoch in its career.

Now the Labour Party is within a very moderate distance of the seat of government. It has a reasonable chance of being soon the governing political party in the State.

It cannot be said that it altogether owes this exciting chance in life to its own merits. It owes it to its opponents. The governing classes of Europe, the gentlemen, the generals, the bankers and manufacturers, who have hitherto ruled the great nations of the world, have apparently decided to commit suicide. It is not for us, their unhappy victims, to inquire impertinently into their motives, still less shall we try to delay their generous self sacrifice.
