Sažetak
Although the 'spectre of socialism' found its way to Croatian lands already in the revolutionary 1848, first workers' societies and socialist papers were established twenty years later. It took another twenty years for the workers' movement to transform itself into a full-fledged socialist party, but when in 1894 the Socialdemocratic party of Croatia and Slavonia was founded it quickly joined the first ranks of the opposition and managed to build an influential mass organisation. History of the workers' movements and social democratic parties of the European periphery was a somewhat neglected topic of research but it recently regained popularity especially after Maria Todorova's Imagining Utopia. Contemporary theoretical perspectives are now being implemented to reevaluate the history of workers' and social democratic organisations of the European periphery in 'the long nineteenth century' but this research is yet to be carried out in the case of Croatia and Slavonia. Therefore, this paper will outline the transformations of the political practices of socialists (social democrats) from the 1870s until 1914. This will be done by analysing the dialectical relationship between the historical conditions and the modifications of socialist ideology in the local contexts of Croatia and Slavonia. The central premise of the paper is that different practices of the political struggle of workers' and social democrat organisations emerged as a synthesis of this dialectical relationship.
