Uptian Sinclair And Socialism

Upton Sinclair and socialist socialism were difficult for me to always understand. Before I started reading this article by reading the book "The Jungle", I really did not understand the concept. Before I started, I wanted to give a summary version of socialist history. Established in 1901, it is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two groups gathered to form the "Kangaroo" building of Socialist, Social Democratic Party and Socialist Labor Party. These parties mainly include migrant workers from large cities (Jurgis from the jungle is such a fictional worker).

Upton Sinclair studied Chicago's meat processing industry and wrote The Jungle whose sole purpose is to spread socialist ideals. In order to transform the American masses into socialism, Sinclair built each form element in a simple and transparent form as much as possible. The structure of the (Valiunas) story has declined along the reality like a capitalist's hell for a long time until the hero of the novel Jurgis Rudkus discovers socialism and is saved with the concept of evangelical Christianity as "Valiunas" It is. Sinclair explained this type of capitalist hell to American citizens, but that style still strictly depends on the explanation of the stomach (Cook 101). But the realistic element of Sinclair 's writing remains with his personality. Usually in a novel, they do not look like portraits of real people, they look more like ambiguous expressions of various social classes and forces. (Taylor)

Upton Sinclair devaluated the capitalist system to promote socialist interests through his novel "jungle". The example of socialism provided by Sinclair is theoretical. You can see it from the perspective of Ostrinski, Lucas and Nicholas Schliemann. Socialism is not established in the political arena, it is just being welcomed among the working class. Socialism is proposing to remove the gap between capitalists and proletariat. It is designed not to rely on specific wages, but to give everyone the opportunity to benefit from their labor. Liberate workers from bondage and try to create a world where everyone contributes to the success of mankind.

The jungle made Sinclair a social critic. At the request of Isaac Marcosson, a reform editor and publisher, Sinclair spent 7 weeks investigating Chicago's Packingtown district, where he observes the lives and working conditions of the meat packaging industry and closely talks to the workers did. . His goal is to focus on Jurgis, a worker who tolerates a dirty environment to support the family, and to write socialist articles and romantic exposures to betrayal of American dreams. After injury, attacking the supervisor at his wife's sexual harassment, Jurgis lost his job and saw his family died of a health related illness. Prior to discovering "allies of brothers and sufferings" as a cause of socialism, Jurgis became a wanderer and a striker with a meat packaging factory strike in 1904.
