Lassalleanism

Lassalleanism is a political and economic philosophy rooted in the ideas of German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle. It emphasizes the importance of state intervention and the organization of workers to improve their conditions. Lassalle believed that social reform could be achieved through political means, including the establishment of universal suffrage and public ownership of key industries. Unlike some forms of socialism that advocate for revolution, Lassalleanism seeks gradual change through democratic processes, focusing on legal rights and the empowerment of the working class within the existing political system.
