Description: | This speech, by the firebrand orator and MP James Maxton (1885-1946), was distributed by the "New Leader" newspaper. The "New Leader" was associated with the Independent Labour Party, a grouping on the left of the main party. Maxton was closely associated with a prominent strand of left-wing Glaswegian Socialism known as "Red Clydeside". The rhetoric employed in this speech is a good example of the views of much of the Socialist left - there is no need for individual greed when there is plenty to go around. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics | Temporal: | c1925 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
