How were welfare systems, including the eight-hour workday, designed to guarantee human survival and dignity, incorporated into capitalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The History of the World Progressive Party Movement\" is a memoir that testifies to the fact that the left-wing parties that emerged around the world, starting with the German Social Democratic Party 150 years ago, were the main players in giving democracy and capitalism a human face. It is also a true story that contains the struggles of countless revolutionaries and reformers who rose and fell along the way. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, who stood at the forefront of the workers' party movement in the barren wasteland of the left in Korea in the 1990s and has dedicated his life after the age of 30 to being a theorist and practitioner of progressive parties, is called the \"Antonio Gramsci of Korea\" and the \"theorist of theorists.\" He vividly restores the landscapes and traces of 150 years of modern progressive party history that he encountered during his journey of study and contemplation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book doesn't dramatize the Left's successes and frustrations as a cheesy tribute or a tearjerker.\u003cbr\u003e The author is a true leftist in that he genuinely and heartbreakingly observes the failure of countless revolutions and reforms pursued by progressive forces. However, he also reveals a slightly right-wing side in that he sharply points out the errors and limitations of progressive parties—for example, the contradiction of “radical language and conservative (or passive) practice” that the left often commits—more sharply than anyone else. \u003cbr\u003eThanks largely to this sense of balance, this book traverses vast spaces and time, reproducing the decisive moments that shaped the fate of the progressive party and the world without bias or distortion.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, readers can take pride and awe in the progressive parties that started out as a workers' club in a shabby neighborhood tavern, and who, despite bearing many minority handicaps, ultimately achieved the position of the ruling party of a country through unwavering conviction and shrewd strategy.\u003cbr\u003e On the contrary, there is no need to try hard to be disillusioned in the scenes of confusion after the successful revolution and taking power.\u003cbr\u003e In the repeated history, the failures of the older left-wing parties have always become the material for the advancement of the next world. \u003cbr\u003eIn that sense, this book not only shatters long-standing prejudices about the left—such as division and pessimism—but is also a dramatic reversal that shows that those who were once the most insignificant were the main characters who planned and created the world we live in today.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e introduction\u003cbr\u003e -Progressive political party movement through history\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom the late 19th century until World War I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 The agony of the progressive party from a century ago, still recurring today.\u003cbr\u003e -The first progressive party, the German Social Democratic Party\u003cbr\u003e 2 The agony of the progressive party from a century ago, still recurring today.\u003cbr\u003e -Bernstein's Way and Luxembourg's Way\u003cbr\u003e 3 An ideal or a dream called 'revolutionary reformism'?\u003cbr\u003e -Jean Jaurès and the French Socialist Party\u003cbr\u003e 4 Preparing for the future on the frontier\u003cbr\u003e -Majority of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in 1912-1914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eII Between World War I and World War II\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e5.

history.\u003cbr\u003e At every decisive moment in history, there has always been a left-wing party.\u003cbr\u003e For example, before World War I, there were almost no countries that implemented universal suffrage.\u003cbr\u003e In most countries, poor working-class men were not allowed to vote, and women were excluded from the political sphere altogether.\u003cbr\u003e At this time, the political forces that took the lead in fighting to guarantee suffrage to workers and women were the left-wing parties of each country. \u003cbr\u003eOnce the universal suffrage system was implemented, the next urgent task for all democratic countries was to guarantee the rights of workers, the socially disadvantaged, and minorities.\u003cbr\u003e The first welfare states that achieved this to some extent emerged after World War II, and in every country, left-wing parties and labor movements were always at the center of this task.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, when peoples who had been ruled by imperialist powers established new countries, there were leftist political forces there.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, on the path toward economic self-reliance beyond political independence, the left-wing party has been the most active problem-raiser and alternative provider.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.6-7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The human world has aged 100 years since the days of Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg.\u003cbr\u003e The history of the world's progressive political party movement is longer after them than before. \u003cbr\u003eCountless events have occurred in the past century that the giants could neither have experienced nor predicted.\u003cbr\u003e For example, a world in which almost every country on Earth holds universal suffrage is quite a far cry from the world they used to live in.\u003cbr\u003e This is the simplest reason why we cannot navigate the future with just a summary of a few classics.\u003cbr\u003e You may not know how to use a compass, but you can't use a map.\u003cbr\u003e (…) Simply isolating a few propositions from a specific context cannot serve as a valid guide for us in different times and spaces.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps more important is the specific context.\u003cbr\u003e We must vividly relive the challenges faced by those who preceded us in the progressive political movement, and allow the various parties involved in the debate to engage in dialogue within us.\u003cbr\u003e If there is such a thing as 'theory', we must produce it ourselves through such re-enactments.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.9-10\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe left-wing party seeks to shift the balance of power between the ruling class and the working masses.\u003cbr\u003e No matter what policy is pursued, there is always an effort to shake, transform, and overturn the existing balance of power to make it even slightly more favorable to the working class.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, as the previous quote suggests, it seeks to change things “irreversibly.”\u003cbr\u003e To do so, we must touch the most solid part of the power relationship, that is, the capitalist 'structure'.\u003cbr\u003e Left-wing parties must always keep this fundamental task in mind.\u003cbr\u003e This is also to be the most thorough 'reform' force at this moment.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even in Germany, where the progressive party movement began, state elections were not equal and women had no voting rights.\u003cbr\u003e Even joining a political party was illegal for women.\u003cbr\u003e As a progressive party, we had to prioritize achieving universal suffrage before taking power. \u003cbr\u003eNo, the implementation of the general election system was considered to be the direct route for the progressive party to take power.\u003cbr\u003e It actually looked like that.\u003cbr\u003e When the right to vote was expanded through the struggles of progressive parties, those who became voters for the first time cast their ballots for progressive parties without hesitation.\u003cbr\u003e And since then, I have continued to vote for the progressive party in every election.\u003cbr\u003e The most dramatic example was Finland (then an autonomous republic within the Russian Empire), which introduced universal suffrage as a result of the First Russian Revolution in 1905.\u003cbr\u003e In the first elections in 1907, the Finnish Social Democratic Party won 37% of the vote.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Instead of taking down their signs, the Earth Party set up cultural clubs and leisure clubs to carry out disguised activities, and opened bars to use as meeting places.\u003cbr\u003e Because of this, an unexpected situation arose where key activists in each region all became bar owners. \u003cbr\u003eThe cheap pubs around the factories were a natural gathering place for workers after work.\u003cbr\u003e Instead of selling strong alcohol there, they sold beer.\u003cbr\u003e But it wasn't just about drinking beer.\u003cbr\u003e Whenever the party's illegal publications came out of someone's pocket, they would serve as a backdrop for impromptu political debates.\u003cbr\u003e Although I was a slave in the factory, there were stories of a new world there.\u003cbr\u003e After spending a night like this, it became clear that I could no longer live as a slave in the factory.\u003cbr\u003e Even after the repeal of the oppressive laws, these taverns remained places for workers' entertainment and meetings, and thus political centers.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bernstein urged a revision of the perspective that revolution would lead to socialism. \u003cbr\u003eSocialism can be achieved by implementing the contents of the minimum program one by one, and in fact, this is the only path to socialism.\u003cbr\u003e So Bernstein's revisionism was also called 'reformism'.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now the German Social Democratic Party executive had to make a decision.\u003cbr\u003e 'Is it a struggle against war or an acceptance of war?'\u003cbr\u003e In a situation where the military dominated the political situation and patriotism was in the air, the anti-war struggle meant the complete delegitimization of the party and a clash close to civil war.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Not only Jaurès, who stood on the podium before a crowd of 150,000, but also the French working class had reached the peak of its life.\u003cbr\u003e It seemed as if Jaurès's socialist ideology, which stated that \"socialism aims for reconciliation, fusion, and unity, where all human beings are internally integrated and also in harmony with nature,\" was finally being rewarded.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.101\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat is the path to navigating the defensive phase of the mass movement?

How were welfare systems, including the eight-hour workday, designed to guarantee human survival and dignity, incorporated into capitalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The History of the World Progressive Party Movement\" is a memoir that testifies to the fact that the left-wing parties that emerged around the world, starting with the German Social Democratic Party 150 years ago, were the main players in giving democracy and capitalism a human face. It is also a true story that contains the struggles of countless revolutionaries and reformers who rose and fell along the way. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, who stood at the forefront of the workers' party movement in the barren wasteland of the left in Korea in the 1990s and has dedicated his life after the age of 30 to being a theorist and practitioner of progressive parties, is called the \"Antonio Gramsci of Korea\" and the \"theorist of theorists.\" He vividly restores the landscapes and traces of 150 years of modern progressive party history that he encountered during his journey of study and contemplation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book doesn't dramatize the Left's successes and frustrations as a cheesy tribute or a tearjerker.\u003cbr\u003e The author is a true leftist in that he genuinely and heartbreakingly observes the failure of countless revolutions and reforms pursued by progressive forces. However, he also reveals a slightly right-wing side in that he sharply points out the errors and limitations of progressive parties—for example, the contradiction of “radical language and conservative (or passive) practice” that the left often commits—more sharply than anyone else. \u003cbr\u003eThanks largely to this sense of balance, this book traverses vast spaces and time, reproducing the decisive moments that shaped the fate of the progressive party and the world without bias or distortion.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, readers can take pride and awe in the progressive parties that started out as a workers' club in a shabby neighborhood tavern, and who, despite bearing many minority handicaps, ultimately achieved the position of the ruling party of a country through unwavering conviction and shrewd strategy.\u003cbr\u003e On the contrary, there is no need to try hard to be disillusioned in the scenes of confusion after the successful revolution and taking power.\u003cbr\u003e In the repeated history, the failures of the older left-wing parties have always become the material for the advancement of the next world. \u003cbr\u003eIn that sense, this book not only shatters long-standing prejudices about the left—such as division and pessimism—but is also a dramatic reversal that shows that those who were once the most insignificant were the main characters who planned and created the world we live in today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhy talk about the history of progressive parties\u003cbr\u003e The Left's Crisis? Not \"Weak Theory,\" but \"Absence of History.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The flow of history is cruel.\u003cbr\u003e The power of the world's progressive parties, which seemed to blossom again in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis and the Arab Spring, is now nowhere to be found.\u003cbr\u003e The disintegration of European left-wing parties, such as the British Labour Party and the French Socialist Party, is nothing new. But even in Central and South America, the epicenter of the 21st-century global leftist revival, power is shifting to the right wing, with the deaths and political downfalls of key leaders. \u003cbr\u003eIn this trend, some criticize the lack of theoretical capacity of the modern left, calling it “rage without ideology.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, the author, who is considered one of the greatest left-wing theorists of his time, emphasizes the ‘history’ of the progressive party rather than its ‘theory’.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it is clear that “theory is not something to be followed, but a dialogue partner.”\u003cbr\u003e For example, while we admire the foresight and insight displayed by Vladimir Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg in The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, we must also generously acknowledge that the ideas behind them are at least one or two centuries old.\u003cbr\u003e For us in another space and time, where “things that the giants of a century ago could neither have experienced nor predicted” are happening, what matters is not a line or two of proposition extracted from an obscure theory, but the historical context. \u003cbr\u003eTherefore, we must vividly relive the problems faced by those who participated in the progressive political party movement before us and allow the parties involved in the debate to have a dialogue within us again.\u003cbr\u003e (…) If there is such a thing as ‘theory,’ we must produce it ourselves through this reenactment of history.” Through this, the author urges readers to confront the universal concerns and choices of the progressive political party movement in the context of the here and now.\u003cbr\u003e That's why the title of the book is 'History of the World Progressive Party Movement'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe fate of the world was decided\u003cbr\u003e A decisive choice for progressive parties\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The story, which begins with German workers and activists gathering in taverns to escape the Bismarck regime's \"socialist suppression laws\" in the 1860s and 1870s, unfolds over 16 episodes in four parts.\u003cbr\u003e The left-wing parties featured in each section are likely to follow similar paths, as they have passed through the same era with similar worldviews. However, their paths are each different. \u003cbr\u003eAlthough they share the position and concerns of being a minority party, the direction of their decisions is often completely different.\u003cbr\u003e The contrasting fates of the German Communist Party, which faithfully followed the Comintern headquarters, that is, the directives of the Soviet Communist Party, as orders from above, and the Chinese Communist Party, which rejected them and pioneered an independent path, are particularly dramatic.\u003cbr\u003e While some political parties attempted to form a broad anti-fascist coalition even in the face of fascist forces, others were caught up in internal struggles for leadership and were greedy.\u003cbr\u003e The massacre of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, led by the Social Democratic Party during the German Revolution, remains one of the worst scandals in the history of progressive parties, both in itself and because of its profound influence on the Nazis' later rise to power.\u003cbr\u003e Nevertheless, the axiom or principle that binds together these disparate concerns and choices is clear. \u003cbr\u003eWhether it was the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, the Social Democratic Party, or the Social Democratic Labour Party, they sought to “fundamentally and irreversibly change the imbalance of power and wealth in favor of working people and their families.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 depicts the emergence and struggles over party lines of the first generation of progressive parties before World War I.\u003cbr\u003e In the case of the first progressive party, the German Social Democratic Party, the twists and turns leading up to the party's establishment and the Bernstein-Luxemburg revisionist debate that caused a stir over the revolutionary\/reformist line of progressive and left-wing parties are broadcast live.\u003cbr\u003e On the French Socialist side, the legendary leftist Jean Jaurès's activities are depicted along with his 'revolutionary reformist' line. \u003cbr\u003ePart 2, which covers the period of World War I and II, begins with the anti-fascist united front of European left-wing parties, followed by the history of progressive parties in the United States, where the left's legacy was lost, and the drama of the rise to power of the Swedish Social Democratic Labor Party, which established an early example of a modern welfare state.\u003cbr\u003e The collapse of the Socialist Party in the United States as the labor movement supported the Democratic Party, and the situation in France where the left is considering solidarity with liberals in the anti-fascist coalition front, remind us that the problem of so-called \"critical support\" is a long-standing fate of minority progressive parties, including those in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, the progressive parties' desperate struggle to secure full universal suffrage and their remarkable advances since the introduction of the universal suffrage system offer historical hints about where the left's true nature and support base lie, and what disaster awaits them if they betray it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePart 3 consists of the story of progressive parties in each country that lost their identity and wandered in the golden age of capitalism that followed World War II and the onslaught of neoliberalism that followed, as well as the tragic death of Allende's Popular Unity government in Chile.\u003cbr\u003e The examples of the Japanese Socialist Party and the British Labour Party, as mentioned above, clearly show the price that a left-wing party must pay when it ceases to be a left-wing party—that is, when it ceases to dream of revolution and becomes a party that meekly conforms to the market economy.\u003cbr\u003e Part 4 chronicles the two most notable left-wing parties of the 21st century: Brazil's Workers' Party and Spain's Podemos.\u003cbr\u003e The success story of Brazil's Workers' Party and Lula's three and four terms, filled with sweat, and their absurd downfall in recent years are worthy of being remembered as both a model and a lesson for the new leftist party in Southern Europe, Podemos, as well as for progressive parties in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to avoid repeating the same mistakes in history?\u003cbr\u003e Let's create a 'left bloc of big reforms and small revolutions'!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In conclusion, we explore the near future based on the historical research to date.\u003cbr\u003e A foresight is a type of foresight, but it differs from an ordinary foresight in that it is a foresight imbued with will.\u003cbr\u003e The author's exploration of the world also does not stop at simple analysis and prediction.\u003cbr\u003e It is an attempt to modernize classical leftist theory in order to avoid repeating the failures of history.\u003cbr\u003e This is also a self-practice of the previous request to produce one's own theory through 're-enactment of history'.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, the author argues that the dichotomy of 'reform vs. revolution', which has continued since the Bernstein-Luxemburg debate, should be changed to the dialectical structure of 'reform-revolution'. \u003cbr\u003e“Reform and revolution are continuous in that they are practices that change the balance of power between the ruling class and the majority of the people, and they are interrelated in that one becomes the prerequisite for the other.”\u003cbr\u003e As if to prove this, it attempts to connect theoretical and historical points of contact by finding them in Jean Jaurès's 'reformative revolutionism', Austria's 'slow revolution', and Sweden's 'provisional utopia'.\u003cbr\u003e In doing so, I propose a shift in thinking from the 'big revolution and small reform' that has been a constant source of failure to 'big reform and small revolution'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition, the author also draws attention to the 'historical bloc', which is the essence of social change put forward by Antonio Gramsci.\u003cbr\u003e “Past history already proves this.\u003cbr\u003e In the 1930s, the French Socialist and Communist Parties prevented the spread of fascism in Europe by rallying the working masses against the fascist forces and proclaiming their presence to the world. \u003cbr\u003e“The Swedish Social Democratic Labour Party was able to build and sustain the welfare state throughout the 20th century because it had rallied a powerful and broad base of supporters for the social state, which would become the driving force behind full employment and the expansion of universal welfare for generations.” So what happens when a historical bloc fails to form at a turning point in history, or when it collapses? A hundred years ago, at the crossroads of World War I, the price that the left-wing parties of Western Europe paid for abandoning the prefix “Inter” from their core platform of “internationalism” and running wild with “nationalism” was the forced conscription of tens of millions of workers, the core base of the left-wing parties.\u003cbr\u003e There is no need to bring up foreign examples.\u003cbr\u003e This is because readers who spent 2016-2017 in Korea clearly remember the power of a historical bloc that transcended ideology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is not an epitaph for the leftists who have passed away. \u003cbr\u003eThe political parties featured in the 16 episodes are still struggling today as ruling parties or influential factions in most countries.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, today's world, where the world's 80 richest people monopolize half of the world's wealth, still needs a left-wing party.\u003cbr\u003e \"A History of the World Progressive Party Movement,\" densely packed with the drama of their victories, defeats, and counterattacks, will also be a vast treasure trove for readers. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 25, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 560 pages | 838g | 148*210*35mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788974830014\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8974830019 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893976498218,"sku":"105829","price":41.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/1a9555802978f6f11f632038c9c997fd.jpg?v=1765427564","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/105829","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
