Chapter 31

Prompt 1

      This chapter was primarily a bunch of socialists talking about socialism and getting all riled up. One man, Mr. Maynard, had two basic socialist "cut and dried programs for future civilizations'. These were pretty much two things he said that all Socialists should believe.

      One said that a socialist believes that "the common ownership and democratic management of the means of producing the necessities of life..." The second one he spoke about stated that a socialist also believes that "the means by which this is to be brought about is the class conscious political organization of wage-workers."

      For the people in Packingtown, it would affect them a lot. If their area revolved around Socialism, it would make everything less... Terrible, I think (this chapter was sort of hard to decipher). From what I gathered, it would control the flow of production, which would make all of the horrible, disgusting, jobs a little bit easier to do.
