The Evolution of Socialism in the United States

INFORMATION

Influenced by the political philosophy of Karl Marx, German immigrants to the US formed small political parties or trade unions based on socialist principles advocating for social justice and labor reforms. The movement continued to rebel against economic inequality. Included are speeches from both sides of the argument for a more socialized society in the United States.

Produced by the Speech Resource Company and fully narrated by Robert Wikstrom
