One of the world's first communists who made a great contribution to socialist ideas on which Marx and Engels developed modern socialism. A great and courageous man. Thanks for posting.

And now the same people following Marx's ideas are Americans with dyed hair and too much time on twitter

My family were workers at New Lanark. My great, great Grandfather used his education to get out of the mill and go work on the railroads in China, then help his children come to America.

Robert Owen is one of the most remarkable people (anywhere in the world) for the last few centuries. Also one of the least well known. Through serendipity, I have had the good fortune to stand in New Lanark. though I then knew nothing of Robert Owen at that time. He was far more advanced in his thinking about human rights in general, than people like Wilberforce, who are widely held in high esteem. Hats off to you, sir.
