u/Rowsdowered ยท 1 pointr/socialism

Ginger's The Bending Cross, Foner's volumes of History of the Labor Movement in the United States, Dubofsky's We Shall Be All, and--for primary documents--Kornbluh's Rebel Voices.

All these books cover the period from the rise of the American democratic socialist movement to its fall by 1920. They also present similar rise/fall narratives regarding the Wobbly movement in the United States. From my reading of these texts, I developed some skepticism regarding democratic mobilization for Socialist ends.
