Social Democratic Federation
In British history, a socialist society, founded as the Democratic Federation in 1881 and renamed in 1884. It was led by H M Hyndman (1842–1921), a former conservative journalist and stockbroker who claimed Karl Marx as his inspiration without obtaining recognition from his mentor. In 1911 it became the British Socialist Party.
The SDF organized meetings and marches for the unemployed that led to some clashes with police in central London in 1886 and 1887.
