    Christian socialism has been around forever, even older than the USSR.

    “A Plea for Unity of American Socialists,” by George Herron. [Nov. 1900] The stenographic report of a speech delivered by Christian Socialist stalwart George Herron to a mass meeting of Chicago Socialists on Nov. 18, 1900. Herron states that only disunity and factional strife could derail the socialist movement from ultimate victory (“for a generation or a century”) and arguing that a united movement could make use of the quasi-religious sensibilities of the educated segment of society in a mass movement for human liberation. An excellent exposition of SPA ideology from the university professor who co-founded the Rand School of Social Science.

    Edit:

    American political campaigns have long been a sort of Punch and Judy show; and it has been all one to the working man, whether he was looking at Re-publican Punch or Democratic Judy. The strings of both parties were in the capitalists’ hands. As evidence of this, you will only need to read the recent editorial of representative Republican newspapers, expressing most anxious solicitude as to the reorganization and purity of the Democratic Party, with wise propositions as to its necessity for the development and protection of our institutions.

    Damn, could have been written today
