 IRC | RightWeb | Group Watch: League for Industrial Democracy
The League for Industrial Democracy (LID) was founded in 1905 by Jack London, Upton Sinclair and other socialists for the purpose of "educating Americans about the need to extend democracy to every aspect of our society."(1,2) Originally called the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, the LID educated college students about the labor movement, socialism, and industrial democracy.
Throughout its history the LID has called itself a proponent of the labor movement, seeing it as a progressive force that is misunderstood by students and intellectuals.
The LID is a membership organization, with membership fees ranging from $5 to $25 a year, and a lifetime membership fee of $500.

 Republics and Democracies
democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
The word "democracy" had not occurred in the Declaration of Independence, and does not appear in the constitution of a single one of our fifty states — which constitutions are derived mainly from the thinking of the Founding Fathers of the Republic — for the same reason.
Seward pointed out that "Democracies are prone to war, and war consumes them." This is an observation certainly borne out during the past fifty years exactly to the extent that we have been becoming a democracy and fighting wars, with each trend as both a cause and an effect of the other one.

 "The Ugly Truth About the Anti-Defamation League" 7
ADL officials, and the Anti-Defamation League as an organization, are guilty of the same crimes for which Karl Spitz Chanel and Richard Miller were indicted during the 1987 Iran-Contra probe, illegally using private, tax-exempt organizations to conduct covert operations.
The ADL's central role in the official Project Democracy apparatus of the Reagan-Bush era was an outgrowth of the ADL's long-standing position as a major agency within the United States branch of the Socialist Internationale, which has always been dominated by members of the old Bucheranite right opposition to Stalin.
The Anti-Defamation League itself was directly involved in the active measures department of the enterprise through its sponsorship of a series of propaganda broadsides attacking as anti-semites leftist groups which opposed the administration's Central American policy.

 WAS DEWEY A MARXIST?
There is a need to reconcile the public memory of Dewey as an American prophet of "democracy" and education, with the unfortunate, and extremely limiting, current view that Marxism is a charge rather than a description; an act of accusation rather than one of analysis and explanation.
Like Marx, Dewey informed his readers that inevitable changes were forthcoming in the "modes of industry and commerce" and, again like Marx, Dewey was convinced that his predictions were based on scientific laws generated through the methods of dialectical materialism.
He alerted his readers to the concentration of industry and division of labour that "had practically eliminated household and neighbourhood occupations." The new mission of the school was to become a training ground for cooperative labour, instead of a place set apart in which to learn lessons.
