| Abstract | The author examines the typically negative position of Germany's socialist elites on questions of emigration and colony formation in the New World. Like the British Chartists, these elites felt that emigration was not the solution to 19th-century social problems caused by the shift to a "modern money economy and capitalist industrialization," both accompanied by the beginning of overpopulation and a declining agricultural mode of production. The solution envisaged by communist/socialist leaders could only come through the process of organizing the masses for the "inevitable class struggle." But all the ideological appeals did not stop thousands of socialists from heading for America. |
