A Labour Party Is Not A Debating

The Social-democratic Federation Took Part In All The Political And Economic Struggles Of The English Working Class; It Took Pains To Bring Socialist Views Home To Them, Not Only Through Agitation And Propaganda, But Also By Actions.

Without Socialism The Working Class Is A Heterogeneous Mixture Of Different Categories, Some Of Which Have Independent, Varying Interests, Sometimes Opposed To Each Other.

Every Social Organisation Which Is Rooted In Life Still Lasts A Long Time, Even After The Conditions From Which It Drew Its Strength Have Changed In A Manner Unfavourable To It.

A Labour Party Is Not A Debating Club, It Is A Party Of Action.

The Enmity Of Such A Party Towards Socialism Does Not Mean That The Members Are Only Prejudiced Against It Because They Do Not Know It; It Means That They Are Possessed Of Bourgeois Ideas, And Wish To Determine Their Policy Accordingly.
