The Polish Democratic Society continued in existence into the decade of the 1840s, when it was a leading voice for revolution in Galicia. It is recognized as a forerunner of the Polish socialist movement which culminated in the establishment of the Polish Socialist Party.
The Polish Democratic Society (TDP) was established in the Kingdom of Poland in March 1832.[1] The first program of the TDP, a so-called "Small Manifesto," was adopted on March 17, 1832, in Paris by a pair of the group's founders, Tadeusz Krępowiecki and Aleksandr Puławski.[2] These individuals traced their organizational roots to earlier activity in the Polish National Committee established in 1831.
Programedit
The TDP argued for the need of drastic reforms in reconstituted Poland and published an official newspaper, Demokrata Polski (The Polish Democrat). The group gained support for its cause through its official slogan, "Everything by the People and for the People."[1]
In 1846, some members of the Polish Democratic Society participated in the Kraków uprising. Other notable activists included Stanisław Worcell and Ludwik Mierosławski.
