Socialism: Utopian and Scientific -- Friedrich Engels

Red Menace

CHAPTER

Socialism Is the Expression of Absolute Truth, Reason and Justice

Engels says that these were idealists and they saw socialism in terms fundamentally of ideas created in rare minds. Fourier talked about a stageous conception of history as well as emphasized women's liberation. Robert Owen, perhaps maybe the most interesting of all three because he really went out of his way to sort of run experiments in his own factories on these grounds. He came up with a real critique of private property and advocated actually the workers' ownership of the means of production. So again, you start to see these little germs of ideas that would come to be basic principles for all socialists to this day.
