"[T]he Socialist program requires the public or collective ownership and operation of the principal instruments and agencies for the production and distribution of wealth-the land, mines, factories and modern machinery.
This is the main program and the ultimate aim of the whole Socialist movement and the political creed of all Socialists.
It is the unfailing test of the Socialist adherence, and admits of no limitation, extension or variation.
"The Socialist program does not deal with consumable wealth but with productive wealth; it does not assail wealth as a means of private enjoyment, but wealth as an instrument of social oppression and exploitation. The Socialists would socialize the tools of production, not the products."
"The modern principle of control and regulation of industries by the government indicates the complete collapse of the purely capitalist ideal of non-interference, and signifies that the government may change from an instrument of class rule and exploitation into one of social regulation and protection. Like the industries, the government is becoming socialized. The general tendency of both is distinctly toward a Socialist order."
Victor Luitpold Berger, 1860-1929, founding member of the Social Democrat Party of America, and then the Socialist Party of America, was born in Austria-Hungry and immigrated to America in 1878 where he became a successful journalist in Wisconsin.
In 1910 he was the first Socialist elected to the U.S. House of Representatives representing a district that included Milwaukee-a hothouse of Socialist ideology.
