Labour's History: the Attlee Government - a Critical Assessment

Mikael Tue Apr 17, 2007 at 10:32:59 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

After Duncan Hall's (successful) attempt to launch a debate concerning Socialism's place in the Labour Party, I found it interesting to make a, much more modest, try to foment a discussion about Labour's History and the importance of lessons from the Party's past experience. This first entry, which, I hope, will be the first among many, concerns the Attlee years and the mark which they left on the Party as well as the nation. Future articles will provide a Socialist, Marxist, and Labour - for, I their author am a Socialist, a Marxist and unrepentantly Labour - analysis of both British and International Labour History. These will include issues such as Militant, lessons from the PSOE and the Spanish Revolution, as well as a small account of the history of the Swedish SAP and Welfare State - all of these will be published in the foreseeable future.
