ABSTRACT
Every militant on the Left believed himself to be a Socialist, working towards a certain form of social organization. He was part of a movement of protest against capitalism, unemployment, Fascism and war. He stood for the aims of peace and Socialism. The great majority of Labour politicians and officials were also prepared to accept a radical definition of Socialism but were not prepared to reshape their programme accordingly. The Left, on the other hand, took the egalitarian and democratic goals of Socialism seriously. It is worth examining the Left’s ideas for the future society because they form the main body of British Socialist ideology in the 1930s.1
