Abstract
This chapter illustrates how the contest between socialism and co-operation became more heated after the founding of the Social Democratic Federation along with other socialist organisations in the 1880s. Mr. Champion, who on rising was received with cheering, said that he had that evening to advocate the merits of Socialism as against those of Co-operation; to try and show them that the merits of Socialism were superior to those of Cooperation as a remedy for the evils of society which probably everyone in that room deplored. Mr. Jones, in his reply, commenced by stating that he and Mr. Champion had each agreed to distribute to the meeting pamphlets representing their respective views. The Social Democratic Federation said that all the Socialistic states of things should be managed by means of elected bodies. Of course, Democracy meant the government of the people by the people.
