Le Mouvement socialiste

The Le Mouvement socialiste (en: The Socialist Movement) was a revolutionary syndicalist journal in France founded in 1899 by Hubert Lagardelle and dissolved in 1914.[1] Other key founders included Karl Marx's grandson Jean Longuet and Émile Durkheim's nephew Marcel Mauss.[2] It advocated segregation of social classes; opposed bourgeois life, democracy, universal suffrage, and parliamentarism; and supported a society led by "conscious, rebellious" men that would develop a disciplined bold new man as part of a "worker's army".[3] The journal was popular and attracted an international audience in its examination of Marxism and revolutionary syndicalism, with well-known revolutionary syndicalists contributing to it, such as Georges Sorel and Victor Griffuelhes.[4]
