The first was the tendency to substitute foreign revolutionary models for programs based on conditions in America. Discussing the decline of the Socialists after the First World War, Lasch argues that their downfall can be traced to the rise of Bolshevism within the movement. The Russian Revolution provided many American socialists with a new revolutionary model, a model which seemed to transcend orthodox Marxist categories. In their excitement, the American Bolsheviks tended to forget the total dissimilarities between conditions in Russia and America, and began...
