- Abstract
USING WATSON THOMSON'S adult educational work with Tommy Douglas' CCF from late 1944 to early 1946 as an anchor point, this paper has several goals. First, to explicate Thomson's transformative-communitarian socialist vision and thereby confront the inadequacies of the communist-social democratic framing of the history of the Canadian left; second, to illuminate the tensions on the left at an axial moment in its history; third, to examine the specific failings of the social democratic imagination and political will; finally, to insert Watson Thomson into the social history of adult education and western Canadian radicalism.
