THE CONSTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS OF SOCIALISM

Unionist without being a Socialist, but not a Socialist without being an Industrial Unionist. Industrial Unionism to be effective and to bare the historic significance accorded to it above must, therefore, be squarely planted upon Socialist principles and be vitalized by the dynamic forces of class-consciousness.

The advocacy of uncompromising Socialist principles is, in consequence, a fundamental demand for all Socialist agitation. Such Socialist propaganda can revolve around only one demand—Socialism fighting and repudiating all other agitation and principles as reactionary or capitalistic.
