The great historical founders of world federalism; Rosika Schwimmer and Lola Maverick Lloyd were radical thinkers and activists. Together with their global supporters, a motley crew of #feminists, #pacifists, #suffragists and #antifascists, they sought to build a democratic international institution that would stand in stark opposition to old order imperialism and autocracy as well as communism and fascism alike. Their vision for a world federal government is, in itself, a very radical idea, even in our own day and age. In this episode, we uncover the ideological roots of world federalism and show how it was neither centrist nor conservative, but #progressive and unapologetically radical from the very beginning.
