John Stuart Mill on Socialism - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 352 Socialism/Mill/Höffe: In the third edition of Political Economy(1) Mill introduces a new chapter on the working classes ("On the Probable Future of the Labouring Classes"). Influenced by the 1848 revolution in Europe, both social and national, but not reaching Britain, Mill has strong sympathies for socialism. For example, he advocates the gradual transformation of private property into cooperative and state property; he demands political equality for the workers, their freedom of association and their participation in enterprises; and he also seeks to break the economic and political domination of the landowning nobility. Later, visible in the "Chapter on Socialism," sympathies for socialism cool down sharply. >Revolution. 1. J.
