Political Ideas: Socialism Key Thinkers

This video looks at the key thinkers for socialism in the A Level Politics spec from EDEXCEL. It examines the contributions of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Beatrice Webb, Anthony Crosland and Anthony Giddens to socialism. This takes us through from revolutionary socialism, through Democratic Socialism to Social Democracy and finally to the Third Way. Key thinkers are hugely important for Political Ideas essays as you should refer to at least 3 of the 5. Apologies to none cat lovers for the cat pictures but I got Thomas from a rescue this week and he has been paying close attention to my video making.

[@meatpuppet5036]

Anyone who believes in socialism after the experiment was run, is a moron.
At least the early bois had the advantage of make-believe theoreticals.

[@gloverelaxis]

yes, that's what the bourgeoisie has designed this curriculum to make you think. this video lies about what Marx actually said, egregiously and constantly
