Abstract
The Russian Revolution , the creation of the Soviet Union, and the establishment of the Communist International challenged social democracy through the Great Depression and into the Cold War era. Anarchism and anarcho-syndicalism maintained a presence in the Industrial Workers of the World and the Spanish Civil War . The chapter also considers other discourses, such as racism, populism, female suffrage, peace, and human rights, in the first half of the twentieth century.
