Yet, hundreds of historians continue to revisit this complex event. The initial association of the 1871 Commune with the first modern socialist government in the world has fuelled enduring ideological debates. However, most historians past and present have fallen into the trap of assessing the Paris Commune by foreign ideological constructs. During the Cold War, leftist and conservative historians alike overlooked important socialist measures discussed and implemented by this first- ever predominantly working-class government.

  • Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in Sachsen
    Schlagwort-Nr. 6098. Online seit 31.07.2013, aktualisiert am 06.05.2019. Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in Sachsen Während des Ersten Weltkriegs spalteten sich auch in Sachsen die Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) in einen Unabhängigen (USPD) und einen Mehrheitsflügel (MSPD). Jedoch trat nur der Bezirk Leipzig benahe geschlossen zur USPD über, so dass die MSPD bis auf regionale Ausnahmen in den meisten Gebieten Sachsens ihre dominante Position innerhalb der Arbeiterschaft behaupten konnte. Da jedoch die nach der Novemberrevolution 1918 auch in Sachsen gebildete sozialliberale Koalition – die SPD hatte bei den Wahlen zur Volkskammer am 2. Februar 1919 41,6% der Stimmen bzw. 42 Mandate gewonnen – in Verbindung mit Reichswehr und Freikorps gegen revoltierende Arbeiter einschritt und gleichzeitig prinzipiell eine Mehrheit für eine sozialistische Einheitsregierung bestand, schwenkte die MSPD immer weiter nach links. Gleichzeitig erneuerte sich die schon vor dem Kriege bestehende Polarisierung zwischen sozialistischen und bürgerlichen Parteien, die in der Folgezeit eine Zusammenarbeit beider Lager erschwerte, oft sogar verhinderte. Nach den Landtagswahlen am 14. November 1920, bei denen die SPD nur noch auf 28,3% bzw. 27 Mandate kam, setzte sich schließlich die Richtung durch, die eine von der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands (KPD) tolerierte Koalition aus MSPD und USPD einer Zusammenarbeit mit Deutscher Demokratischer Partei (DDP) und Deutscher Volkspartei (DVP) vorzog. Die linksrepublikanische Regierung betrieb energische Reformen insbesondere in den Bereichen Schul- und Kommunalpolitik, im Justiz- und Polizeiwesen sowie in der Wirtschaft. Im Herbst 1922 vereinigten sich beide Parteien relativ konfliktfrei zur Vereinigten SPD (VSPD). Die wiedervereinigte Partei kam bei den Landtagswahlen am 5. November 1922 wieder auf 41,8%.

  • The Bourgeois Response to the Socialist Reforms of 1921-22
    3 The Bourgeois Response to the Socialist Reforms of 1921-22 With the creation of the SPD-USPD coalition in December 1920, Saxon Social Democracy had an opportunity to pursue its goal of extending and solidifying the achievements of the November Revolution. Socialist policy had the following major emphases: the secularization of the school system, the "democratization" of the state bureaucracy, reform of the system of municipal administration, and increased enforcement of the laws to protect the republic. As in neighboring Thuringia, the politics of reform in Saxony maintained the momentum of the early revolutionary period, a momentum wh ich had been braked in Prussia and in the Reich by the compromises necessitated by coalition building. I The Socialist policies could be seen as an attempt to correct what H. A. Winkler and others have regarded as the great failure of German Sodal Democracy in the early years of Weimar, that is, its failure to pursue a thorough democratization of the political sys­ tem. The Socialists, and particularly the Minister of the Interior, Richard Lipinski, viewed the attempt to increase the role of Social Democrats in the civil service and to dislodge the upper-Ievel conservative bureauerats from their privileged positions as a me ans of providing the republic with a firm foundation in the administrative structure of the state. Furthermore, the Socialists saw the policy of the institutionalization of the symbols of the republic-manifested in the declaration of "republican" holidays such as November 9 and in the anti-religious program of the government-as a necessary step toward anchoring the culture of the republic in the public sphere (Oeffentlichkeit).

Review by Victoria Thompson, Arizona State University. Carolyn Eichner's Surmounting the Barricades: Women in the Paris Commune places the activity of women revolutionaries in the context of a larger history of socialist and feminist agitation. Although Eichner focuses on three female participants of the Commune, André Léo (née Victoire-Léodile Béra), Elisabeth Dmitrieff (legally Elisavieta Koucheleva Tomanovskaia in 1871), and Paule Mink, her goal is not to produce a collective biography, but rather to use these women’s lives as threads that allow her to analyze radical feminist and socialist politics in the late nineteenth century. Her work provides insight into the complex politics of the Commune, while also challenging the view that the events of 1871 were an exceptional moment in working-class history. When the Paris Commune was formed in March 1871, André Léo, Elisabeth Dmitrieff, and Paule Mink were already active in radical politics. André Léo was a journalist and well-respected author whose novels criticized the inequalities women faced in marriage and in society. Her 1869 article “La femme et les moeurs,” which appeared in Le droit des femmes, attacked the Proudhonian line of the Paris section of the International, one which stated that women belonged in the home rather than in the workshop or the political arena.
