Lassallean theory

Lassallean theory, developed by Ferdinand Lassalle, focuses on the relationship between socialism and democracy. Lassalle argued that workers should have a say in political decisions and emphasized the importance of democratic governance alongside social ownership of the means of production. He believed that true social change could only occur through political action and that the state could play a crucial role in improving workers’ rights. His ideas contributed to the socialist movement, advocating for reforms that would empower the working class and lead to a more equitable society.
