	Social Democratic Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Social Democratic Federation (SDF) was established as Britain's first organised socialist political party by H.
		In 1907, he renamed the group the Social Democratic Party, and in 1911 established a new group, the British Socialist Party (BSP).
		The Social Democratic Federation was also the name of a party led by Hyndman after 1919, when the National Socialist Party changed its name.

	The prospects for socialism (or barbarism)
		Socialism, that is, understood as a radical systemic alternative not as a means of improving and "touching up" capitalism, but as a new society that will succeed capitalism.
		The problem faced by social democracy today is not related to its moderation or reformism, but on the contrary, to its consistent, fundamental rejection of reformism and of any form of socialism, even the most moderate.
		Social democratic positions can now be found only among dissidents within social democratic organisations, or among members of parties to the left of "social democracy" (the German PDS, the Swedish Left Party and so forth).

	Socialism Today - Sweden's social democrats lose
		The social democrats simply lacked credibility after implementing their brutal right-wing ‘systemskifte’ (change of system) during the 1990s, in which the famous ‘Swedish model’ of welfare and full employment was largely dismantled.
		The crisis inside the social democrats is also a crisis for the LO leadership, which spent hundreds of millions of their members’ money on Persson.
		The social democrats’ position in the workplaces has been further undermined by the scale of the election defeat, while the authority of the LO leaders has perhaps never been lower.

	Socialist Party
		The two merging groups were the Social Democratic Party of Eugene Victor Debs and the "Kangaroo" wing of the older Socialist Labor Party.
		The Socialist Democratic had been organized in 1898 by veterans of the Pullman strike of the American Railway Union, led by Debs, and was largely composed of American-born workers.
		At the riotous Democratic Party Convention in Chicago in 1968, Realignment Socialists were present as delegates, and Bayard Rustin, having lost his old pacifist and radical orientation, served in effect as a fl floor manager for Humphrey.

		As a member of an academic community, however, the teacher is free to present in the field of his or her professional competence his/her own opinions or convictions and with them the premises from which they are derived.
		The social studies teacher is obligated to approach such issues in a spirit of critical inquiry rather than advocacy.
		The democratic process is concerned with the ways in which individuals and groups in a free society grapple with problems, resolve conflicting opinions.

	The Seattle Times: Politics: Social Security tapped to tout looming "crisis"
		Social Security officials say the agency is carrying out its mission to educate the public, including more than 47 million beneficiaries, and to support the agenda of President Bush.
		Social Security employees denied that their concerns were motivated by a bureaucratic mentality, a fear of change or a desire to protect their jobs.
		Robert Ball, who worked at the Social Security Administration for three decades and was commissioner under Democratic and Republican presidents from 1962-73, said: "It's fine for the agency to answer factual questions, but it's unusual to use the Civil Service organization to push a political agenda, especially because what they're saying is not true.

	Social Security Online
		Social insurance, as conceived by President Roosevelt, would address the permanent problem of economic security for the elderly by creating a work-related, contributory system in which workers would provide for their own future economic security through taxes paid while employed.
		The Social Security program that would eventually be adopted in late 1935 relied for its core principles on the concept of "social insurance." Social insurance was a respectable and serious intellectual tradition that began in Europe in the 19th century and was an expression of a European social welfare tradition.
		The significance of the new social insurance program was that it sought to address the long-range problem of economic security for the aged through a contributory system in which the workers themselves contributed to their own future retirement benefit by making regular payments into a joint fund.

		It is a Cabinet Committee, composed of the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney-General, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Federal Emergency Relief Administrator.
		It is in accord with the pledge of the Democratic national platform of 1932, in which the party now in control of the Government committed itself to the enactment of unemployment compensation legislation through state action.
		To effect that purpose, the bill we are considering proposes the levy of a uniform tax on employers, based on their pay rolls, to be collected everywhere in the country, regardless of whether the states in which they operate have enacted unemployment compensation laws or not.

		Since I first became aware of this organization about 10 years ago, when we were preparing our Vatican document on "Ethics in Advertising", I have been impressed both by the professionalism and concern for integrity on the part of the staff and members of the organization with whom I have come into contact.
		Truth is or at least should be a basic principle in advertising as in all communication, and a basic truth for all of us to consider is that being is prior to and indeed essentially better than having.
		She motivated us all to be better and never to forget the poorest and apparently least members of society.

		Furthermore, the defense of the nation is one of the few tasks of the modern federal establishment that is firmly grounded in a constitutional mandate.
		Bush's approach and its opposite--the view, widely held in the mainstream media, that the GOP would do well to cut loose the social conservatives--fail to account for an important fact: a very large number of Republican voters are both limited-government and social conservatives, perhaps more than are in either group alone.
		Indeed, social conservatism can and should be defended as necessary to the maintenance of a free society.

		This did not materialise because, amongst other factors, the expansion of US capitalism towards the west, with land provided for the most energetic, acted as a safety valve for American capitalism and undermined the development of a nationwide labour movement.
		Writing about the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), formally ‘Marxist’ but denounced by Marx when he was alive, he writes: "The English Social-Democratic Federation is, and acts, only like a small sect.

	Thailand: Military coup follows political deadlock
		The military junta, which calls itself the ‘Council for Democratic Reform’, insists its aim is to rescue Thai democracy from the "rampant corruption" of the Thaksin government, to end his meddling in the country’s supposedly ‘independent’ institutions and to heal the deep divisions Thaksin has sown among Thais.
		Although the major Western powers, like the US and Britain, issued statements to express their ‘concern’ at the ending of democracy in Thailand, there were no serious condemnations of the military coup.
		The Democrat Party’s demand for ‘constitutional reform’ is political rhetoric to try and widen their electoral support.

		In Canada we are mindful of our poor brothers and sisters in the U.S. who do not have a universal national healthcare plan that will pay their hospital and doctor bills.
		While the administration of the plan is left to the provinces, the federal government supplies the bulk of the funding and mandates that healthcare be universal and single-tiered.
		The population is aging, the stress of surviving in a society in which poverty and insecurity are massively increasing is escalating, and diseases are spreading faster.

	Institute for Social Ecology - The Politics of Social Ecology: Libertarian Municipalism
		As social anarchists and libertarian communists, we need to ground ourselves not only in our own familiar literature but in social ecology, in left-libertarian history and theory, in the history of democratic traditions and communalist practices, both in our own areas and in other parts of the world, and in democratic and political theory.
		A rational democratic polity, however, would provide the public spaces where mutual understanding among people of different ethnic origin could grow and flourish: the citizens' assembly would provide the neutral procedural structures by which ethnic groups could articulate their specific problems in the give-and-take of discussion, leading to greater mutual understanding.
		If the democratic potential of the municipality is to be fulfilled, city life must ultimately be rescaled to the dimensions suitable for a democratic political realm.

	Bush Taking Aim at Social Security
		The only crisis facing Social Security is a ravenous reactionary government determined to rob millions of their right to retirement in order to swell the coffers of the world’s largest financial banks.
		Young workers would be given the “option” of investing all of their Social Security deduction to the private fund, and later on all workers will have 100 percent of this money going to private banks.
		Also included in Bush’s Social Security plan is a “two-year review.” Under this section, disabled recipients would be required to undergo a re-examination of their eligibility and ability to work every two years.

		The US is no more a "democratic government" than were the old "people's democracies" of the heyday of Communism (but of course, those systems weren't "Communist" in my understanding either).
		All other social institutions are in the throes of such reconsideration--businesses, labor unions, social movements, even churches and the military.
		I would be particularly thrilled if the Hawaiian sovereignty activists among us would try to invent new forms of participatory governance instead of merely copying or adapting old ones (whether those of the US, as seems generally to be the case ironically enough, or those of the ancient Hawaiians).

	Letters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As you point out, there are others who say that their aim is socialism, or make reference to the works of Marx, but few of them mean by socialism what we (and Marx) do.
		We certainly think that all those who want socialism in the sense of a society based on the common ownership and democratic control of resources should get together in a single organisation that concentrates on advocating socialism and nothing else.
		Indeed, it was at the economics classes held by Eleanor Marx, in 1895 and 1896, that Jack Fitzgerald and a number of other members of the SDF learnt their Marxian economics, which ultimately led to their expulsion, or resignation, from that organisation and subsequent founding of the Socialist Party.

	Bush Administration Pressures Social Security Workers To Sell Privatization
		President George W. Bush wants to privatize Social Security by diverting some Social Security contributions to private accounts, which would lead to benefit cuts for future retirees and threaten essential protections for people with disabilities and surviving families of the deceased, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
		The lecture covered the July 2001 report from the Social Security Advisory Board and three options proposed by the President’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security—all of which advocated establishing private investment accounts.
		Last week, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) and other senior House Democrats wrote SSA Commissioner Jo Anne Barnhart and condemned the use of public funds and public employees for political propaganda.

	Reviews of National Policies for Education: Russian Federation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Education is a powerful force in building the new Russia: it can help its citizens meet the challenges of the new, emerging democratic society; develop in its labour force the talents, skills and dispositions required in the new economic and social setting; and harmonise national aims with regional concerns.
		The challenge to the education system in the Russian Federation is especially great because so many other social and economic systems are undergoing transition and reform simultaneously.
		Against the present context of fluid and uncertain conditions and significant financial constraint, school policies need to promote and support the adaptation and restructuring of curricula while reinforcing evident strengths in current provision and fostering the development of new, effective partnerships at national, regional and local levels.
