The Left in the United States and the Decline of the Socialist Party of America, 1934–1935.

The article explores the decline of the Socialist Party of America between the years 1934 and 1935. International capitalism teetered in crisis during the 1930s, compounded by the Great Depression and fascism in Europe, leading many workers and intellectuals to gravitate to the radical left. Leftists in Canada and the United States fought to revitalize the labor movement. Communist parties were also central to this upsurge in workers' struggle and to building the labour movement of the 1930s.
