'''De Leonism''', occasionally known as '''Marxism–De Leonism''', is a form of unionist Marxism<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/deleon/works/1909/3.htm</ref> developed by Daniel De Leon. De Leon combined the rising theories of American unionism in his time with [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|orthodox Marxism]]. According to De Leonist theory, militant industrial unions (specialized trade unions) are the vehicle of class struggle. Industrial Unions serving the interests of the proletariat (working class) will bring about the change needed to establish a socialist system.
'''De Leonism''', occasionally known as '''Marxism–De Leonism''', is a form of unionist Marxism<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/deleon/works/1909/3.htm</ref> developed by Daniel De Leon. De Leon combined the rising theories of American unionism in his time with [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|orthodox Marxism]]. According to De Leonist theory, industrial unions (not to be confused with labor unions) are the vehicle of class struggle. Industrial Unions serving the interests of the proletariat (working class) will bring about the change needed to establish a socialist system. These industrial unions will then form the basis for the dictatorship of the proletariat, and then with the establishment of communism, the basis for the association of producers.
However, in difference from other lib-left ideologies, De Leonism also believes in a political party that should, if possible, get to power by democratic elections and when in power, the unions and workers will take control of society peacefully through the passive revolution - a revolution that will be bloodless, because there isnt a state opposing this revolution. When this happens, the state will pretty quickly be unnecessary and will disintegrate itself.

==History==
===[[File:Impossible.png]] Impossibilism===
De Leon settled in New York City, studying at Columbia University. He was a [[File:Georgist.png]] [[Georgism|Georgist]] socialist during the 1886 Mayoral campaign of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George Henry George] and in 1890 joined the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Labor_Party_of_America Socialist Labor Party], becoming the editor of its newspaper, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_(1891) The People].
De Leon became a Marxist in the late 1880s, and argued for the revolutionary overthrow of [[File:Cap.png]] [[capitalism]], trying to divert the SLP away from its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lassallism Lassallian] outlook.


De Leon was highly critical of the trade union movement in America and described the craft-oriented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Federation_of_Labor American Federation of Labor] as the "American Separation of Labor". At this early stage in De Leon's development, there was still a considerable remnant of the general unionist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_Labor Knights of Labor] in existence, and the SLP worked within it until being driven out. This resulted in the formation of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Trade_and_Labor_Alliance Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance] (ST&LA) in 1895, which was dominated by the SLP.  
De Leonists take a impossibilist stance on the reform or revolution question, that of reform under capitalism strengthening the bourgeoisie and securing their power while weakening socialist movements. And because of this, De Leonism is opposed to any form of reformism. However, De Leonists in the past did opt to run in presidential elections in the United States, but only as a way of seeing how much mass support they had.


By the early 20th Century, the SLP was declining in numbers, with first the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_America Social Democratic Party] and then the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_of_America Socialist Party of America] becoming the leading leftist political force in America (as these splinter groups embraced capitalist reforms). De Leon was an important figure in the US labor movement, and in 1904 he attended the International Socialist Congress, held in Amsterdam. Under the influence of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Labor_Union American Labor Union] (ALU), he changed his politics around this time to put more focus on industrial unionism, and the ballot as a purely destructive weapon, in contrast to his earlier view of political organization as 'sword' and industrial union as 'shield'. He worked with the ALU in the founding of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Workers_of_the_World Industrial Workers of the World] (IWW) in 1905. His participation in this organization was short-lived and acrimonious. After DeLeon's death, his ideology was carried on by the SLP with little success, although they had a brief moment in the 60s when disaffected left wing youth were looking for a party to join, the "dogmatic" leadership eventually caused most of that membership to drift away (they even alienated multi-time Presidential candidate Eric Hass into leaving the party). By the time their national office closed in 2008, they had a grand total of 77 members.
===[[File:Socialist Industrial Unionism.png]] Socialist Industrial Unionism===
However, De Leonism has found new life in the Brazilian social democratic Democratic Labour Party, in which it forms a considerable minority.
 
== Personality ==
De Leonists advocate for an “industrial commonwealth” revolving directly on industry formulated around socialist industrial unionism. This socialist industrial unionism should not be confused with the industrial unionism of the IWW, which is of a syndicalist and libertarian socialist character, whereas in socialist industrial unionism is a distinct form of organization from syndicalism. Socialist industrial unionism would operate on a model where workers elect workplace industrial shop organization which then elect industrial unions which elect themselves to regional associations of unions. These industrial unions are tasked with coordinating all industries and deciding resource allocation.
 
==Personality==
De Leonists are rare on the net (due to the younger ones closing in on age 80), but once you find one, you'll find out that they're comparable to syndicalists; a huge love for industrial unionism, the arming of workers for defense, and will tend to think of the gool 'ol days when trade unionist socialist parties used to be popular (compared to our time).

De Leonism, occasionally known as Marxism–De Leonism, is a form of unionist Marxism[1] developed by Daniel De Leon. De Leon combined the rising theories of American unionism in his time with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination orthodox Marxism. According to De Leonist theory, industrial unions (not to be confused with labor unions) are the vehicle of class struggle. Industrial Unions serving the interests of the proletariat (working class) will bring about the change needed to establish a socialist system.
