The Gracchi tried to instill an early form of socialism on the republic. They pushed for free grain for the urban poor and for land reform for the displaced peasants. It was this land reform and their confiscation of patrician lands that got them eventually killed.
The Gracchi brothers have been seen as precursors of socialism by modern socialists who idealised them. Socialism arose in the 19th century. The Gracchi brothers did not have any notion of socialism and thus did not try to instil an early form of socialism. There were just trying to address the plight of landless peasant. The reform also sought to establish private holdings for these peasants, which is not very socialistic.

How did the punic wars effect slavery in rome?
1. When the Carthaginian population was sold into slaver, the market was well supplied. 2.
