Abstract
The virtues of unity and solidarity are generally esteemed as the labour movement's foremost contribution to political culture in the twentieth century. Equally striking for the social scientist is the fundamental despair underlying the claims of solidarity: the urgent need to unify and keep together the heterogeneous mass of social groups which makes up a modern proletariat. Any student of the labour movement will be familiar with the centrifugal forces constantly threatening the movement from within. ‘The working class’ in pursuit of ‘socialism’ are approximate labels only, as the complexity of industrial society is reflected in a wide diversity of workers and faced by numerous kinds of socialism. The problem of who prefers which is the theme of this book, the author's second important contribution to labour history in Norway.Footnote 1
