Thanks for that info... but I think the topic was whether or not DU was basically "pink" and that meant was DU somehow drifting toward a slightly communistic tendency, or a less democratic socialism. My intent was to suggest that democratic socialism, at least to extent of SS, was a very longstanding tradition in this country.
Thanks for the additional information. I'd known that some union-based socialism existed in Europe in earlier times, especially in the Weimar Republic (and, after all, the guilds of Europe were the precursors of modern-day unions), but was, unfortunately, not considering those in complete context.
Cheers.
