socialistic

Dictionary of American Words And Phrases by John Russell Bartlett.

Appertaining to the principles of socialism.


And now let us briefly assure the Courier that it is greatly, grievously wrong in supposing that we shrink, or falter, or despond with regard to the future of France, in view of the prominence and imminence given to social theories and ideas by the new Revolution. On the contrary, our columns will bear witness that we have, from the hour that the fall of Louis Philippe was known here, to this moment, profoundly rejoiced in the Revolution itself, and more especially in its socialistic aspects and tendencies.--N. Y. Tribune, April 25, 1848.
