(1882 - 1960)

English Campaigner for the Suffrage and Suffragette Movement, a Socialist and Later a Prominent Left Communist, and Activist in the Cause of Anti-fascism and Interlinguistics

: A campaigning English feminist and socialist. Committed to organising working-class women in London's East End, and unwilling in 1914 to enter into a wartime political truce with the government, she broke with the suffragette leadership of her mother and sister, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #19 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Socialism and Social Organization

“Socialism being an ideal towards which we are working, it is natural that there should be some differences of opinion in that future society. Since we are living under Capitalism it is natural that many people's ideas of Socialism should be colored by their experiences of life under the present system. We must not be surprised that some who recognize the present system is bad should yet lack the imagination to realize the possibility of abolishing all the institutions of Capitalist society. Nevertheless there can be no real advantage in setting up a half-way-house to socialism. A combination of Socialism and Capitalism would produce all sorts of injustice, difficulty and waste. Those who happen to suffer under the anomalies would continually struggle for a return to the old system.”
