Encyclopedia > Guild socialism

Guild socialism was a British political movement in the 1890s-1920s that wanted to give each local workplace sovereignity. It was expected that workplaces would ally to other local businesses as well as competitors in their own industries, to create federations or "guilds".


Guild socialism in popular culture

The story The Dreamer's Guild by Elan Ruskin takes place in a world where guild socialism became reality. It focuses on how guild politics could become just as corrupt as regular democracy.

Now the term social democracy refers to an ideology that is more centrist and supports a broadly capitalist system, with some social reforms (such as the welfare state), intended to make it more equitable and humane.
Democratic socialism implies an ideology that is more left wing and supportive of a fully socialist system, established either by gradually reforming capitalism from within, or by some form of revolutionary transformation.
The New Left legacy of democratic socialism may be clearly seen in the post-Marxist positions of a wide range of intellectuals (sometimes identified with post-modernism or post-structuralism), including Chantal Mouffe in Europe to Cornel West in the United States.
Guild socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (319 words)
Guild socialism is a political movement advocating workers' control of industry through the medium of trade-related guilds.
Guild socialism was partly inspired by the guilds of craftsmen and other skilled workers which had existed in Medieval England.
Guilds, unlike the existing trade unions, would not confine their demands to matters of wages and conditions but would seek to obtain control of industry for the workers whom they represented.
