Revolutionary socialism

Revolutionary socialism is a term used to define socialist tendencies advocating the need for fundamental change in society through revolution. Socialist and communist groups use this term as opposed to Reformist socialism, also known as Social Democracy. It is currently one of the chief doctrines of the Bancairn Labour Party.

Introduction into Labour Party doctrine
After the Third Worker's International was founded, in 1918, German-born, Cairn theologist and politician Albert Heresberg returned to Bancairn. As an influential member of the Labour Party, he was able to introduce Revolutionary Socialism as the party's chief doctrine.

The 1918 General Elections
In the 1918 General Elections, Party leader Bernard Carter, then incumbent Minister of Transport & Communications, was not elected in the Ministry Elections, and resigned from the presidency of his party. He was replaced by Erwin Barnard, a staunch opposer to this new form of socialist doctrine, preferring to stick to the values that had made the party up to 1918.

The 1925 General Elections
In the 1925 General Elections, Erwin Barnard won the premiership for the first time since Norman Young in 1906, which caused the Party to momentarily abandon its new doctrine. Barnard was confident that, had the party promoted revolutionary socialism at these Elections, it would have lost, leading to his own defeat. Barnard was also under pressure from the Conservative Members of his Cabinet, and the split majority in the House was another factor which led Labour to return to the stances advocated before 1918.

1932-1939
During the office of Georges Field, the Labour Party was the main rival to the Republicans, with a disorganized Socialist Party trailing far behind. Barnard, elected Minister of Economy, still had strong control over the Party. in 1934, the Labour Party became part of the People's Pact against fascism, and led a fierce opposition to the leading Republican Party and its policy of Economic Recovery.

The 1939 General Elections
With a second World War approaching in Europe, the Home Association-National Popular Front was formed under the leadership of Derek Home, a Conservative member of Parliament, and Charles Tombany, the Liberal Minister for Health. Tombany was elected Prime Minister easily, having no rivals to the premiership apart from Edward Robinson, an Independent member of the House.
