Topic 6.7: Ideologies of Change and Reform Movements

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENTS: Liberals emphasized popular sovereignty,individual rights, and enlightened self-interest but debated the extent to which all groups in society should actively participate in its governance. Radicals in Britain and republicans on the continent demanded universal male suffrage and full citizenship without regard to wealth and property ownership; some argued that such rights should be extended to women. Socialists called for the redistribution of society’s resources and wealth and evolved from a utopian to a Marxist scientific critique of capitalism. Marx’s scientific socialism provided a systematic critique of capitalism and a deterministic analysis of society and historical evolution. Anarchists asserted that all forms of governmental authority were unnecessary and should be overthrown and replaced with a society based on voluntary cooperation.
