What is The Revolutionist?
The Revolutionist was published in Grand Junction 1901-1904 by the Socialist Party of Mesa County. There is only one known surviving copy at History Colorado’s archive in Denver.
Why The Revolutionist?
We have resurrected this publication after over a hundred years, because there is a need for a publication, in these days of mass houselessness, low wages, and rampant greed and gentrification, that speaks for people not profit.
Who was behind The Revolutionist?
S.B Hutchinson, was the original publisher of The Revolutionist, and the first socialist Chief of Police in America. Hutchinson was serving as Alderman (equivalent to city council member) while publishing The Revolutionists.
“The only real difference between us is this: You love and support the system that produces the tramp, yet you despise the tramp the system produces, while I despise the system that produces the tramp, yet I pity the tramp.” S.B. Hutchinson. Daily Sentinel, Aug. 8 1912.
