'''Victor Berger''' (February 28, 1860 – August 7, 1929) was journalist<ref name=blue>[https://books.google.com/books?id=asFWAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA458 The Wisconsin Blue Book]</ref> and a founder of the [[Socialist Labor Party]] in the [[United States]]. He was the first socialist elected to the [[U.S. House of Representatives]], in 1910. [[Socialism]] has never taken root in the United States, except perhaps in certain industries such as [[health care]]. [[Socialism]] is prevalent in western [[Europe]] today.
