Victor Adler

Victor Adler was an influential Austrian socialist politician and thinker in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He founded the Social Democratic Worker’s Party of Austria, advocating for workers’ rights, social justice, and political reform. Adler played a key role in shaping Austria’s early social democratic movement, pushing for improvements in labor conditions, education, and democracy. He believed in gradual societal change through political engagement rather than revolution. His efforts contributed significantly to the development of Austria's social policies and the broader European socialist movement during a time of rapid industrialization and social change.
