Socialist Party's Transition

The Populist Party is often referred to as the party of and for the people, and is labeled as such because it was, very candidly, founded by the common people, such as farmers and other laborers. While this party was in power, they had many ambitions and ideas that they sought to spread to others, and aspired to achieve. To understand the topic completely, one requires a general knowledge of the formation of the populist party, the elemental beliefs, goals and ideals, and how the downfall of the party came about, as this will aid in the understanding of the populist party’s want of free coinage of silver and how it would have helped debtors initially, but would have had a comprehensive and unfavorable effect on the American economy

The evidence that supports the idea that the Nationalists won the Spanish Civil War because of their strength is abundant. The unity of the Nationalists was obvious and meant that there was both great organisation and co-ordination, meaning there was no ambiguity in the goals set by those fighting for the Nationalists. Franco’s plans for a long term war meant that he was able to ensure the defeat of the Republic by slowly squeezing the life out of the Republic war effort, which already was heavily reliant on Soviet aid, by securing Republican strong holds throughout Spain. The contrasting lack of unity on the Republic as well

The governors made sure to issue a \emph{Convocatoria} that favored the attendance of delegates loyal to them \citep[][506]{langston2001rules}. These delegates voted in favor of keeping most of the changes contained in the drafts distributed to the local assemblies in July (e.g. dropping the concept of ``social liberalism'' from the Declaration of Principles). However, they proposed additional changes which were unexpected by president Zedillo and his collaborators within the party. First, the CPN --in control of the governors after the XIV National Assembly-- became the most important party organ (replacing the National Assemblies), in charge of selecting the party's main leaders (i.e. the president of the CEN and the general secretary) and the use of the party's monies.

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the socialist movement was destined to hold collective control of the modern economy. Socialism, in popular definition is the political movement to replace the profit motive and private ownership of productive property (Schneirov 2003). In 1901, the Socialist Party of America was born in order to meet these goals. The primary purpose of the party was to eradicate capitalism over time and to develop political reform (ency). Although the Socialist Party of America did not have the impact that the Democratic and Republican parties had, it is still regarded as having great influence on reform. This paper will focus on the background of the party, political influences, contributions, political achievements,

In this review, I will explain the historian’s thesis and/or argument, show a summary of the sources the historian consulted, write and overview of the way the book’s chapters (topics) were organized, have an in-depth discussion of the two to three main components of the argument, and finish up with a conclusion that explains the “So what” (the point) of the book. the sources the historian consulted, write and overview of the way the book’s chapters (topics) were organized, have an in-depth discussion of the two to three main components of the argument, and finish up with a conclusion that explains the “So what” (the point) of the book.

There are a multitude of political systems around the world today. Regardless of similarities, each has its own unique qualities. This paper will discuss the differences and similarities of the political systems and government of both the United States of America and Spain. First, a short analysis of each countries history will be provided. This will give some background to the political, emotional and economical state of each country. This will lead to how the governments and political systems are now. Finally, there will be an analysis on the similarities and differences between both countries.

Our third and final major political party is the Partido Revolucionario Institutional or PRI. This political party was undefeated in all levels of the government up until 1946 and was the dominating party, under 3 different names (Partido Nacional Revolucionario or PNR 1929, Partido de la Revolucion Mexicana or PRM 1938, and finally in 1946 Partido Revolucionario Institucional or PRI), at the municipal, state, and national levels for most of the 20th century (71 years) (Padgett, 1966). PRI is currently the dominant party in the Chamber of Deputies and at the municipal and state level, and took primacy in the 2012 senatorial elections as well. A part of the Socialist International, it is now considered as a centrist party, with prominent members leaning from both the left and right, and supports a policy of mixed economy and

During 1973, the Franco regime was slowly coming to an end, however according to Pavlovic, “The early 1970’s saw even more turmoil, and opposition to the regime became more violent at the very end of Franco’s dictatorship” (Pavlovic 105). The tension reached its climax on December 20, 1973 when Franco resigned and made Admiral Carrero Blanco president, however, Blanco was shortly after assassinated. After the assassination, Franco made Carlos Arias Navarro the new Prime Minister of Spain. Pavlovic mentions that “The years between the deaths of Franco and Blanco were characterized by violence, political tension, and social uncertainty” (Pavlovic 105). As a result, the regime returned to various repressive measures and

The Spanish civil war of 1936-1939 was an important conflict in Spain’s history. This war was initiated by a military revolt led by General Francisco Franco on the 17 July 1936 and ended with Franco’s victory on the 1 April, 1939. This victory resulted in the replacement of the Second Spanish Republic with the conservative dictatorship of Franco. This conflict triggered the clash of the various cultures and ideologies within Spain. One important example of an ideological clash was that of Communism versus Fascism. This clash was so important that, based on an analysis of the level of involvement of Fascist and Communist factions in said clash, one must concede that the conflict between Communism and Fascism was represented to a great

Zetkins is a remarkable figure in history. The summary of Zetkin political accomplishments is impressive. She partook in establishing of the Second International, rose to prominence in the German Social-Demicratic Party (SPD) ran its Women Movement, edited the German socialist movement, Gleichhiet (equality) which was the only women’s paper in the Pre World War 1, and for the International Socialist Women’s Movement she was the moving spirit behind it (Quataert, 1975). Zetkin was generally recognized for her hierarchical work among working class women in Germany and socialist women throughout the world as a leading figure in the powerful German Social Democratic party. Zetkin was able to apply an effective effect on the formation of the socialist party on the women’s question and additionally to shape the mentalities of working class women in Germany and abroad toward the socialist development.

The Spanish government and establishment were possibly the Franco regimes strongest tools in asserting the regime's authority over the Spanish people. A new government was established after the Spanish Civil War with a new main state party, new laws, and a new political system. Franco was so well-established at the end of the Spanish Civil War that no political opposition stood a chance, including the Falange. In order to create a stable system of political power in Spain, the Falange was fulfilled as a secondary partner in the Spanish government. With this partnership, they were forced to support regime's policies without any say in the policy The regime’s government developed more stability and power after the Falange (now including members

Democratic socialism is defined as having a socialist economy in which the means of production are socially and collectively owned or controlled alongside a politically democratic system of government.

One factor was that King Juan Carlos did not favor Aria Navarro, Franco’s last Prime Minister. Arias was not a reformer but he had the intelligence and comprehension that his resignation was for the best. When Aldolfo Suarez came to power, while not the most popular politician by the leftists, he compromised and provided amnesty for political enemies of the Franco regime. This included legalizing the communist party (the PCE). Thus a newspaper such as El Socialista, gained more popularity as the transition carried on. However, the PSOE used publications such as El Socialista to spread their political message. The PSOE spoke and wrote about returning to stability, peace, liberty, and democracy.

Quintessentially, we need to join all forces “socialists, liberals, deep greens, trade unionists, feminists, indigenous activists” (Angus, p. 221) everyone who is willing to demand decisive actions to stop greenhouse gas emissions protecting nature and ecological balance.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco came into power after his victory in the Civil war in 1939 and ruled over Spain till his death in 1975. In this 40-year period Spain was massive changed that causes much debate as to the political nature of Franco’s regime whether it is fascist or something different, Francoism. To understand if Franco’s regime was fascist, fascism must first be defined. There are many working definitions of a fascist regime, Stanley Payne’s states that the dictator must alien his regime to the idea of anti-isms, them being aintiliberalism, antidemocratic, anticonservatism, anticommunism and antidemocratic. Payne states these are fundamental in the description of a fascist regime. Another useful definition is Robert Griffin, stating that a fascist regime will use symbolism, violence to pursue its political aims, with the importance aimed at expansionism. Finally Griffin also states the need of the dictator to implement an authoritarian and totalitarian government. All these help to create a fascist regime and more importantly a truly fascist dictator. There is little doubt Franco holds to some of these definitions yet in later year the idea of Francosim becomes more viable however to understand if Franco was a truly fascist dictator we must look to the similarities and differences and determine by examining Franco’s rise politically his general style of government and finally his foreign policies it will determined whether Franco was a truly fascist dictator.
