Communism and Social Democracy COMMUNISM AND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY PART I A HISTORY OF SOCIALIST THOUGHT: Volume IV, Part I COMMUNISM AND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY 1914-1931 BY G. D. H. COLE LONDON M A C M IL L A N & CO L T D NEW YORK • ST MARTIN’S PRESS 1958 Copyright © G. D. H. Cole 1958 MACMILLAN AND COMPANY LIMITED London Bombay Calcutta Madras Melbourne THE MACMILLAN COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED Toronto ST MARTIN’S PRESS INC New York PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN PREFACE h a v e again to acknowledge the ungrudging help given me by many friends in the making of this volume. Three Ipersons for whose judgment I have a high respect — Mr. H. N. Brailsford, Professor Sir Isaiah Berlin, and Mr. Julius Braunthal — read through the entire manuscript and gave me advice that led me to make many corrections and modifications in the opinions expressed. I am again most grateful to them all. I have also many other persons to thank for help with particular chapters, especially in filling in missing dates of births and deaths — for I attach considerable importance to knowing how old my characters were when they did anything worthy of note. Among those who helped me in this respect are M. J. Maitron of the Institut Franyais D ’Histoire Sociale and M. Maurice Dommanget, for France; Dr. Gerhard Gleissberg and Frau Ruth Gleissberg, for Germany ; Mr. Lloyd Ross, for Australia ; Dr. J. P. L. Wiessing, for Holland ; M. Rene Renard, for Belgium ; Mr. Branko Pribicevic, for Yugoslavia ; Mr. S. K. Evangelides, for Greece ; Professor Iwao Ayusawa, for Japan ; Senor Luis Henriquez, for Chile ; Mr. Mark Starr, for the United States ; Senor Carlos Echagiie, for the Argentine ; Mr. Artero Vartia, for Finland ; Mr. J. W. Ames, for Sweden; Mr. H. K. Lehmkuhl, for Norway; Senor Dr. don Felipe de Bustamante, for Peru ; Senor G. Luders de Negri, for Mexico ; M. Charles Barbier, for Switzer­ land ; Dr. Carlo Doglio, for Italy ; Mr. John Gollan, for Com­ munists from a number of countries ; Mr. V. Richards, of the Freedom Press, for a number of Anarchists ; and Mr. Arthur Lehning, for Socialists from Spain and several other countries. I have also to thank Mr. Z. Najder for reading through my chapter on Poland and for making suggestions which caused me to modify it in a number of respects. SOCIALIST THOUGHT There will be, if I survive to write it, one more volume of this history, carrying the record at least to 1945, and possibly further. Looking back, I can see a good deal in my first volume that I should put rather differently if I were writing it now ; but there is no major point on which I see the need for substantial correction. I mean by this, not that I have got everything, or even most things, right, but that I do not think that I could substantially improve what I have written. Great as is the help so many friends have given me, the views expressed are, of course, throughout my own and must not be attributed to those who have lent me their most useful aid. G. D. H.

  • 409 the Men Named Lennon and Lenin – Great Britain’S “Imagine There’S No Heaven” Lennon and the Soviet Union’S “Imagine There’S No Heaven” Lenin
    #409 The Men Named Lennon and Lenin – Great Britain’s “Imagine there’s no heaven” Lennon and the Soviet Union’s “Imagine there’s no heaven” Lenin Now we turn to The Men Named Lennon and Lenin, still as a part of the umbrella theme of The Second Oswald Head Wounds, which is related to The Deadly Wound of the Beast, Phase II. The Lord’s ordainment of the two men named Lennon and Lenin, with the spirit of “Imagine there’s no heaven” being a central theme in each of their lives, is tied to “the man clothed in linen” in Daniel 12:6-7. Daniel 12:4-6 (KJV) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to THE TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. 6 And one said to THE MAN CLOTHED IN LINEN, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? “The man clothed in linen” will need to be elaborated upon at another time. Nonetheless, we can start to set up “the man clothed in linen” by understanding how it ties to what we are currently studying – the Second Oswald Head Wound defeat of the Soviet Union, which occurs at “the time of the end.” Key Understanding: The men named Lennon and Lenin.

  • At Berne: Kurt Eisner, the Opposition and the Reconstruction of the International
    ROBERT F. WHEELER THE FAILURE OF "TRUTH AND CLARITY" AT BERNE: KURT EISNER, THE OPPOSITION AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL To better understand why Marxist Internationalism took on the forms that it did during the revolutionary epoch that followed World War I, it is useful to reconsider the "International Labor and Socialist Con- ference" that met at Berne from January 26 to February 10,1919. This gathering not only set its mark on the "reconstruction" of the Second International, it also influenced both the formation and the development of the Communist International. It is difficult, however, to comprehend fully what transpired at Berne unless the crucial role taken in the deliberations by Kurt Eisner, on the one hand, and the Zimmerwaldian Opposition, on the other, is recognized. To a much greater extent than has generally been realized, the immediate success and the ultimate failure of the Conference depended on the Bavarian Minister President and the loosely structured opposition group to his Left. Nevertheless every scholarly study of the Conference to date, including Arno Mayer's excellent treatment of the "Stillborn Berne Conference", tends to un- derestimate Eisner's impact while largely ignoring the very existence of the Zimmerwaldian Opposition.1 Yet, if these two elements are neglected it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible, to fathom the real significance of Berne. Consequently there is a need to reevaluate 1 In Mayer's case this would seem to be related to two factors: first, the context in which he examines Berne, namely the attempt by Allied labor leaders to influence the Paris Peace Conference; and second, his reliance on English and French accounts of the Conference.

  • Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy
    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler’s 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy’s fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today’s new and old democracies under siege. Daniel Ziblatt is Professor of Government at Harvard University where he is also a resident fellow of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also currently Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. His first book, Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy and Germany and the Puzzle of Federalism (2006) received several prizes from the American Political Science Association. He has written extensively on the emergence of democracy in European political history, publishing in journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic History, and World Politics.

  • Chapter Thirty-Eight 'Militia and Disarmament' (August 1912) Paul
    Chapter Thirty-Eight ‘Militia and Disarmament’ (August 1912) Paul Lensch In 1912 the author of this article, Paul Lensch (1873– 1926), was one of the main anti-revisionist spokes- men of the Left, whose positions he had defended at party conferences in Essen (1907), Jena (1911) and Chemnitz (1912). From 1908 to 1913, Lensch served as chief editor of the Leipziger Volkszeitung, and in 1912 he was elected to the German Reichstag for the SPD. He opposed war-credits in October 1914 but later changed his view. In 1915, the Lensch- Cunow-Haenisch group was formed with the pur- pose of endorsing German imperialism on Marxist grounds, especially through their organ Die Glocke (‘The Bell’), edited by Parvus. As an Anglophobe, Lensch regarded Germany as the ‘revolutionary’ side in the conflict, with England as the ‘counter- revolutionary’. When the SPD split in October 1917, Lensch became one of the journalistic spokesmen of the SPD-majority grouped around Friedrich Ebert. In November 1918, he played an important role as a contact-man between the Council of People’s Repre- sentatives and the military leadership. Lensch then withdrew from party politics and, in 1919, received a professorship of economics at the University of Berlin through his friend, the Prussian Minister of 562 • Paul Lensch Culture Konrad Haenisch. He also worked as a foreign-policy correspondent for the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, a journal belonging to the concern of Hugo Stinnes. In 1922, Lensch left the SPD and became increasingly associated with conservative opponents of Social Democracy until his death in 1926.1 The article translated here dates from Lensch’s radical early years, when he challenged Karl Kautsky for proposing disarmament agreements as the appropriate tactical response to imperialism.

  • History of the Class Struggle in Hungary 1919-1945
    Barricade Collective History of the class struggle in Hungary 1919-1945 The period of retorsion As the part of the breaking down of the 1917-23 revolutionary wave the bourgeoisie used very manifold means, took advantage of the weaknesses of the proletariat, to beat back the proletarian revolution in Hungary. When the self-organizing proletariat was actively fighting against the imperialist war by force of arms, organizing extended strike movement, forming workers’ councils, looting, as well as started the liquidation of the bourgeoisie, a “radical” framing force was needed which could counteract the extension and centralization of the struggles, the organization of the proletariat as a party. This role was played by the Bolshevik movement which, in spite of that it gained its strength mainly from the proletariat and its leadership, in words, was for the revolution (of course it wanted to carry out the revolution by the specific Bolshevik scheme: it sought to withdraw the old ruling class in order that it could establish the radical social democratic form of capitalism controlled by the Bolsheviks), during the period of deap crisis of capital, when there were good conditions for proletarian self-organization and for the total destruction of capitalist structures, it was objectively counter- revolutionary. The Bolsheviks backed by the moderate social democrats established the so-called Hungarian Council Republic, a structure of power which was able to successfully counteract the radicalisation of the masses. Under their reign the Bolshevik leadership was acting the part of the grave-digger of the struggling proletariat and doing so encouraged the sweep of the counter-revolution.
