The Masses was a socialist magazine published in America from 1911 to 1914. Its demise was brought on when the federal government brought charges against it for conspiring to obstruct conscription during World War I. 

To carry on its work, siblings Max and Crystal Eastman founded The Liberator. Max, an American writer, and his sister, Crystal, an American Lawyer, published this monthly socialist magazine from 1918 to 1924. A voice of the Communist Party of America, it featured, along with political reporting, art, poetry, and fiction.
