ABSTRACT
Mauss's socialism provides all citizens formulates with Honneth, social freedom, which consists in the insight that individual freedom in essential areas of communal life is only realizable in solidarity with others. Mauss's concerns can be translated into the vision of a civic, radically democratic, and cooperative socialism. The Anglophile Mauss as one of the few French socialists was inspired by the developments in the United Kingdom. Economic interdependence has always existed, and Mauss emphasizes that there has also always been intensive contact between societies here, one borrows technical, religious, economic, and aesthetic tools: societies are immersed, as it were, in a bath of civilisation. Mauss's internationalism is clearly reflected in a series of articles in the journal Populaire, which from December 1922 to 1924 he dedicated to the topic of the exchange rate crisis. In his sociological assessment of Bolshevism published in 1924, he thoroughly investigates Bolshevism in its socialist potential and comes to a radical and extremely clear-sighted judgement.
