A socialist political ideology or movement associated with Jules Guesde, a French socialist leader of the late 19th century.
From Jules Guesde + -ism (suffix meaning doctrine or system). Guesde was a prominent French Marxist socialist, and his name became attached to his political program and followers.
Guesde competed for influence with the anarchists and the revisionist socialists of his era, and 'Guesdism' represents one of France's many fractious socialist movements—the left was never monolithic, even in socialism's early days.
