Samuel Gompers:
Gompers retained a certain sympathy for the ideas of Karl Marx throughout his life, although believing that the socialist movement had been captured by Lassallean advocates of “political party action” rather than the “militant economic program of Marx.”[15] /Wiki

He was one of socialist ‘founding fathers’ of the union movement in the US. Of course he was a British Jew.

“Of course he was a British Jew.”

Which means what exactly?

I ask because you don’t make explicit your meaning, something here is implied, I’m curious as to what.

Are all British Jews Marxists/socialists or labor leaders?
