This page is about the historical movement known as “radicalism”, for the political radicalism in general see Radicalism (Disambiguation).


"No human government has a right to enquire into private opinions, to presume that it knows them, or to act on that presumption. Men are the best judges of the consequences of their own opinions, and how far they are likely to influence their actions; and it is most unnatural and tyrannical to say, "as you think, so must you act. I will collect the evidence of your future conduct from what I know to be your opinions."


Radicalism (Rad) or Radical Liberalism (RadLib) was a historical set of movements within Classical Liberalism and represented the left-wing of the historical movement. Radical liberalism took principles behind liberalism and applied them to their conclusion (a.k.a. their 'root' or 'radix' and latin, therefore 'radicalism').

For example. a classical liberal might espouse that a democratic system of government and the right to vote should be given. In turn, a radical liberal would take such a statement to its conclusion, that being that women, those without property, immigrants, slaves etc., should all be given the right to vote. Radical liberals also supported positive rights whereas classical ones only advocated negative ones. Moreover, radical liberals were historically the early advocates of welfare states.

By modern standards 'radicalism' is not radical at all, as the reforms made by radical liberals got accepted as the norm; in the modern-day 'radical liberal' is mainly used as an insult.

History

Radical Liberalism first took roots in America following the war of independence and was championed by founding father Thomas Paine. He called for many modern Social Liberal policies like a minimum wage and state pension as universal suffrage (including voting rights for women, which wasn't included in the original Constitution). Radical Liberalism was also practised in pre-Napoleonic France at the time, with similar policies.

Following the Napoleonic wars, radical liberalism would be the dominant ideology of non-classical liberals in democracy. The British Whigs also had a left-wing comprised of radicals and it could be said that Abraham Lincoln was one as well as the former American Whig party (replaced by Lincoln's republicans) and the abolitionist movement at large.

Radical liberal movements declined during the latter half of the 19th century as socialism became the dominant ideology of the left; some radicals became much more moderate and became social liberals and liberal democrats, while others joined the socialists and became liberal socialists and reformist marxists.

Establishment followed pattern of similar organizations such as Labour and Socialist International, adapted for various centrist parties. First constituent meeting of the International Entente of Radical and Similar Democratic Parties were organized on 29 August 1924 in Geneva under leadership of later Nobel Peace Prize awardee Ferdinand Buisson, who later acted as the President of the executive committee.[4]

Doctrine

Radical Liberals, in the framework of Classical Liberalism, believe in civil liberties such as voting elections, equality before the law, and religious tolerance, but they usually fall into such positions that extended suffrage, positivism and rationalism, welfare for all and any higher sense of just are necessary reforms. These policies are seen as Progressive then and now, Radical Liberals viewed Conservative or Monarchist ideologies as protecting the broken system, one unjustified in its nature and needed to be overthrown with social change. This paved the way for modern Social Liberalism.

Radicalists was just the general trend of more staunch Liberals that would define the left. They vary in every country, ranging from the radical French Republicans to the British quasi-Christian Socialism to the Italian National positivism. Supportive of the redistribution of property and workers' rights, they influenced some Socialist ideologies along the way. Ironically, Radlibs were against common ownership.

Variants

Chartism

Chartism was a radical, socialist political movement in the early 1800s in Britain. It had the popular support of the British working class and was particularly in Northern England, the East Midlands, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Black Country and the South Wales Valleys. They even tried to launch attempted revolutions in South Wales and Yorkshire.

Eventually the Chartist movement stagnated and failed due to government repression.

Radical Republicanism

Radical Republicans were a faction within the early Republican party that existed from the party's founding in 1854 to the end of Reconstruction. They were called radicals due to their goal of ending slavery without compromise. During the Civil War they clashed with moderate Republicans led by Abraham Lincoln who wanted to compensate slave owners for their freed slaves where as radicals wanted no compensation for slave owners. After the Thirteenth Amendment, Radicals pushed to pass the Fourteenth Amendment granting citizenship rights to all former slaves and establish civil rights for former slaves. Radicals opposed allowing ex-Confederate soldiers to hold political office and brought impeachment charges against Andrew Johnson. Radicals supported the Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant and led Reconstruction efforts until they were effectively ended with the results of the 1876 Presidential Election.

Radical Socialism

In the years following the advent of the Third Republic, a political movement which constituted the left wing of radicalism. Designates more particularly, within the radical Republican and radical-socialist parties or the movements which arise from them, the tendencies close to reformist socialism.[5]

Personality

Radicalism behaves like a 90's "cool kid" rebel that speaks with similar lingo and slang. Particularly he prides himself on being a radical rebel, saying that his ideas and policies are groundbreaking and revolutionary, when in reality they are mild and moderate, as they have become the norm over the last century and a half.

Notes

  1. Hugo believed in Colonialism as a means to end slavery and to "civilize" the Africans.
  2. This references to the break between Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox, who were once great friends but never reconciled due to their differing opinions on the French Revolution.

References

  1. I am said to be a revolutionist in my sympathies, by birth, by breeding and by principle. I am always on the side of the revolutionists, because there never was a revolution unless there were some oppressive and intolerable conditions against which to revolute.
  2. "The Boxer is a patriot. He loves his country better than he does the countries of other people. I wish him success."
  3. Whilst opposing American expansion, Marti was influenced by the American Revolution
  4. [1]

  6. Edouard Herriot, the head of the French Radical Party and the French prime minister, said the following during his trip to Turkey in August 1933:

    “I am especially a fan of the idea of Laicism, which His Excellency Gazi holds as the basis for renewing the spirit of the country. Because this is one of the fundamentals of the French revolution.”

    “...You see, I am your oldest friend, I shared my opinion in 1913.

    I didn't change it. Because I have not seen any action other than what I thought from the Turkish nation. I am secular [laicist] and Radical. You are also secular [laicist] and radical...” “...There is no doubt that your Great Chief Gazi Mustafa Kemal is the most revolutionary man in the world...”

    “I have not yet had the honor of meeting His Excellency Gazi. But every person is measured by his works. The works of the veteran are in the square. In particular, his decision to abolish the caliphate and sultanate as the first stage of the revolution gave the necessary idea about the greatness of Gazi and recorded it in history. I am a fan of Gazi. Why do we need to say anything more?”

    “I examined the program of the Republican People's Party. I found it very beautiful. It is working well. I congratulate you and wish you success.”

    Yusuf Hikmet Bayur tells the following memory about Edouard Herrriot:

    “In the summer of 1933, while Atatürk was in Istanbul, Herriot, one of the former French prime ministers, came there. Atatürk received him at Dolmabahçe Palace. Minister of Foreign Affairs Tevfik Rüştü Aras was also there. I acted as the translator in my capacity as Secretary General. Herriot was very respectful, and a great sense of sympathy was felt in every word. While talking about various state affairs and secularism, the former French Prime Minister said: 'How can I not admire you? You expelled the Caliph; However, the Pope's representative in Paris (nonce apostolique, English: Nuncio) said, 'He overthrew my government.'

    The text of a conference given by Édouard Herriot in France was published in the magazine "La Turquie Kemaliste". In this lecture he gave in 1933, Herriot talks about Mustafa Kemal Pasha and the 1924 Constitution as follows:

    “No one who will examine this constitution can deny its liberal and democratic character. Talking about a dictatorship is completely ridiculous. The authority of the veteran consists of the feelings of gratitude that the people feel towards him. If this is a dictatorship, let us admit that it is legal and even desirable.”
