Talk:Power to the people (slogan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Power to the People" is a traditionally socialist political slogan that has been used in a wide variety of contexts.

Please explain in the article how the slogan is:

  • socialist
  • traditional
  • traditionally socialist

And then put the words traditionally socialist back into the first sentence. --Uncle Ed

"Traditional" modifies "socialist", not "slogan". It's not a "traditional slogan". The only real question is whether the slogan was originally a socialist slogan. So far as I can tell, it was. But more direct evidence would be good. --The Cunctator

Power to the people is populism at its best.

What is the current policy on naming of slogan articles? Should this be at Slogan:Power to the people? RickK 23:07, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

1) Re socialism: the Black Panther Party article discusses briefly how Newton's use of this phrase was rejected by some as too Marxist/Internationalist.
2) I was unable to quickly locate any earlier source for this phrase. Did it originate with the Panthers? Twang 21:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
