The Origins of Socialism

[@ugafan1779]

Thank you. Well versed, laid out, explanation of the origins and early history of Socialism. The British accent also helps to accentuate the importance of topics and points being made.

Very informative, thank you so much. Philosophy is one of my great loves, though I've never had the money to study it formally. I've read many of the authors you mention here, but some I hadn't heard of before. I'll definitely add them to my "reading list." I wish I had someone to discuss it all with. Its so sad that America doesn't really teach Philosophy in public schools.. I subscribed and I'm, very much, looking forward to learning more.

Good evening, MASSOLIT. this is a surprising video. thanks. :)

[@ShellshockDM187]

I'm not a socialist even though I was one for a short time, basically a Mutualist/Individualist Anarchist/ Libertarian Socialist. But well done for explaining this video and very well put together might I say. The only important person you forgot to mention is the man who coined the term feminism Charles Fourier, one the first Utopian socialists or Libertarian socialists.

[@pierren___]

And Robespierre ?

[@jalindell]

Not a socialist, that's why he isn't discussed.

[@pierren___]

@@jalindell proto socialist though.

[@jalindell]

@@pierren___ nope, liberal (this is the whole reason he isn't discussed), hell Danton was more populist than Robespierre, but he was still 100% a liberal. Liberals of the era were still Radicals, which is fairly impossible today since Liberalism is literally everything everywhere, you can't mistake Radicalism for Socialism. Even the repossession of Church property wasn't a think he was keen on, where Talleyrand a monarchist and ordained Bishop was all about taking the churches property for the state.

@@jalindell maximum law ?

[@jalindell]

If you want to talk about semi-modern proto-Socialists, look at Gerrard Winstanley and the "True levelers" or the Diggers, a proto anarcho-communist religious based movement for abolition of property.
