The Social Democratic Party was rechristened the "Socialist Party" in 1901, on the interesting ground that "Social Democratic" lost its meaning when translated from German into English.12 An analysis of the platforms of the Socialist Party up to the time of the first World War reveals an increasing popularity for the term "democracy." The platform of 1912 refers to "industrial democracy" in contrast to such terms as "wage slavery" and "capitalist oligarchy." For Morris Hillquit "social democracy" included "industrial democracy" (evolutionary socialism) and "political democracy" (the American type of government).13 Meanwhile the Socialist Labor Party began to use "democracy" more frequently, especially in the term "industrial democracy." Since the time of De Leon and the influence of the I.W.W., the Socialist Labor Party has given to "industrial democracy" a strong syndicalist turn, with but little emphasis on forms of political organization and control. After World War I it apparently became mandatory for American political parties, especially those of the left, to use "democracy" on all convenient occasions.
