Spargo, trained as a stonecutter, but became a lay Methodist minister, became identified with the socialists in England in early life, became a leader in the English labor movement; and served on the Executive Council of the Social Democratic Federation. He immigrated to America in 1901 and was thereafter a longtime member of the National Executive Committee of the American Socialist Party. He regarded Bolshevism as an "inverted form of Czarism." He edited the socialist periodical, The Comrade, became involved in child labor issues; helped promote laws on child and woman labor, and moved to Vermont in 1909. He remained active in socialist circles, but moved to the right over World War I, and with Samuel Gompers and George Creel, founded the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy, in favor of American involvement in the war. He gradually became outspoken advocate of free-market capitalism. His major publications include The Bitter Cry of Children (1906) and Karl Marx: His Life and Work (1909).

The Common Sense of Socialism is a political science classic text by John Spargo. I presume, Mr. Edwards, that you are not one of those persons who believe that there is nothing the matter with America; that you are not wholly content with existing conditions. You would scarcely be interested in Socialism unless you were convinced that in our existing social system there are many evils for which some remedy ought to be found if possible. Your interest in Socialism arises from the fact that its advocates claim that it is a remedy for the social evils which distress you-is it not so?

Syndicalism, Industrial Unionism And Socialism is a book written by John Spargo and published in 1913. The book explores the history and philosophy of three related social movements: syndicalism, industrial unionism, and socialism. Spargo examines the origins of these movements, their key ideas and principles, and their impact on the labor movement and society as a whole.The book begins with an overview of syndicalism, a movement that emerged in France in the late 19th century and spread to other countries. Syndicalism is characterized by its emphasis on direct action, industrial unionism, and the overthrow of capitalism. Spargo explores the origins of syndicalism, its key thinkers and leaders, and its impact on the labor movement.The book then turns to industrial unionism, which is closely related to syndicalism. Industrial unionism is a labor movement that seeks to organize workers based on their industry or occupation, rather than their craft or skill. Spargo examines the history of industrial unionism, its key figures and organizations, and its impact on the labor movement and society.Finally, the book explores socialism, a political and economic system that advocates for collective ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods and services. Spargo examines the history of socialism, its key ideas and principles, and its impact on the labor movement and society.Throughout the book, Spargo provides a critical analysis of these social movements, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and their potential for achieving social and economic justice. The book is an important work of social history and political theory, providing valuable insights into the origins and development of some of the most influential social movements of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
