I would like to thank the personnel of the Staatsbibliothek, East Berlin and the archives in Potsdam and Merseburg for their assistance. This help was not without its difficulties, given the impossibility of accessing sensitive archives, in particular those of the ex-iml (Institute of ‘Marxism- Leninism’), which are today freely accessible in reunified Berlin. I am particularly indebted to Cajo Brendel, an old militant of the gic, and to Gerd Callesen of the Copenhagen aba, for the texts which they agreed to supply me with. In spite of ‘disagreements’ over our differing interpretations of council-communism, Cajo Brendel did not fail to provide me with invaluable biographical notes and historical data. What is more, he had the patience to read all my work and transmitted his fraternal and apt criticisms to me. There are many others to whom I am indebted for their assistance: Fred Ortmans and Kees IJpelaan (Netherlands); Hans Schafranek and Georg Scheuer (Austria), the latter a militant of the Revolutionary Communists of Germany (rkd) who died in 1996; the historians Arturo Peregalli, who sadly died in 2001, and Bruno Bongiovanni (Italy); Gottfried Mergner, who died in 1999, and Hans Manfred Bock (Germany); Mark Shipway and Adam Buick (Great Britain); Nils (Norway); Henri Simon; and Jenny Levy-Prudhommeaux (France – daughter of André Prudhommeaux) whom I thank for lending me her father’s collection of the kapd’s Kommunistische Arbeiter Zeitung. 1 Thesis (22 March 1988): The Foundations of the International Council-communist Current – The Dutch Communist Left (1907–50). From Tribunism to ‘Councilism’. The jury was composed as follows: Antoine Prost, Professor at Paris–i; Madeleine Rebérioux, Professor at Paris–viii; Pierre Broué, Professor at Grenoble University; Hans Manfred Bock, Professor of Political Science at the Kassel Gesamthochschule. x acknowledgements I would like to pay tribute to the memory of militants like Jan Appel (1890– 1985), kapd delegate to the Second and Third Congress of the Comintern, member of the gic in the 1930s; and Ben Sijes (1908–81) a former member of the gic; and also that of Stan Poppe (1899–1991), with whom I had the opportunity to engage in political discussions. These three old militants, by their precious living testimony, stimulated my research. They were, for me, the proof that the spirit of council-communism is still alive today. Certain suggestions and criticisms from Madeleine Rebérioux (1920–2005), Pierre Broué (1926–2005) – whose memory I here salute –, Hans Manfred Bock and Antoine Prost were very valuable in the re-writing and expansion of some of the chapters of my doctoral thesis.

  • Henriette Roland Horst, Jacques Engels and the Influence of Class
    ‘More freedom’ or ‘more harmony’? Henriette Roland Holst, Jacques Engels and the influence of class and gender on socialists’ sexual attitudes Paper submitted to the seminar on “Labour organizations and sexuality”, Université de Bourgogne, Dijon 5 October 2001 Peter Drucker1 Sheila Rowbotham once wrote, ‘A radical critical history ... requires a continuing movement between conscious criticism and evidence, a living relationship between questions coming from a radical political movement and the discovery of aspects of the past which would have been ignored within the dominant framework.’2 Her words may apply with particular force to the history of labour organizations and sexuality. Historians can find it easier to find criticisms and questions to raise about the past than to sustain the ‘continuing movement’ required to understand the past in its own terms. The temptation is great to compare positions on sexuality taken in labour organizations in the past with positions held by historians in the present. The result can be either an idealization of sex-radical forbears or a condemnation of those whose ideas fell short of twenty-first-century enlightenment — in either case a curiously old-fashioned sort of history, which benefits little from the advances made by social historians outside ‘the dominant framework’, particularly social historians of sexuality, since the 1970s. Analyzing positions on sexuality taken in labour organizations in the past in the light of knowledge that has been accumulating about social and sexual patterns of their specific periods seems likely to be a more fruitful approach. Four different angles of attack seem particularly likely to be useful.

  • When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

  • Anfänge Und Brüche Der Arbeitsverwaltung Bis 1952

In einer Zeit, in der mit der Umbenennung in Bundes- agentur die alte Bundesanstalt für Arbeit einen neuen programmatischen Namen bekommen hat, mit der Schaffung des Arbeitslosengeldes II die Daseinsvorsorge für Beschäftigungslose grundlegend neu geregelt wird und alle Akteure nach zeitgemäßen neuen Wegen suchen, beschäftigt sich eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit im Fachbereich Arbeitsverwaltung mit der Vergangenheit: Anfänge und Brüche der Arbeitsverwaltung bis 1952. Wer den Mut hat, sich mit diesem Thema auf weniger als 300 Seiten aus- einander zu setzen, erreicht unterschiedliches. Was hier dem Leser angeboten wird, kann nur ein Überblick sein. Ausführlichkeit und eine „es allen rechtmachende“ Ausgewogenheit kann nicht erwartet werden. Kritik wird dieser Schrift damit sicher sein! Der Telegrammstil, mit dem Fakten dar- und hintereinander gestellt werden, lädt zum Missverständnis ein. Aber gerade die knappe und direkte Sprache der Schrift wird ihr nicht nur „Besitzer“ sondern auch Leser bescheren. Habe ich selbst das Manuskript doch erst wieder aus der Hand gelegt, nachdem ich es entgegen meiner Absicht in einem Stück durchgelesen habe. Was hat mich so fasziniert? Ich war doch selbst von 1977 bis 2000 Mitar- beiter der Bundesanstalt für Arbeit.

Marloes Beers Studie: Taal- en Cultuurstudies Hoofdrichting: International Studies Universiteit Utrecht Studentnummer: 4118081 Datum: 7 april 2017 Het lied der achttien dooden Gedicht door journalist en schrijver Jan Campert, die gearresteerd werd voor het helpen van joden en in concentratiekamp Neueungamme in Duitsland ter dood gebracht werd. Het gedicht werd gepubliceerd in Het Parool van 10 februari 1943 Een cel is maar twee meter lang en nauw twee meter breed, wel kleiner nog is het stuk grond, dat ik nu nog niet weet, maar waar ik naamloos rusten zal, mijn makkers bovendien, wij waren achttien in getal, geen zal den avond zien. O lieflijkheid van licht en land, van Holland's vrije kust, eens door den vijand overmand had ik geen uur meer rust. Wat kan een man oprecht en trouw, nog doen in zulk een tijd? Hij kust zijn kind, hij kust zijn vrouw en strijdt den ijdlen strijd. Ik wist de taak die ik begon, een taak van moeiten zwaar, maar't hart dat het niet laten kon schuwt nimmer het gevaar; het weet hoe eenmaal in dit land de vrijheid werd geëerd, voordat een vloekbare schennershand het anders heeft begeerd. Voordat die eeden breekt en bralt het miss'lijk stuk bestond en Holland's landen binnenvalt en brandschat zijnen grond; voordat die aanspraak maakt op eer en zulk Germaansch gerief ons volk dwong onder zijn beheer en plunderde als een dief.

  • 10 Faschismus-Nachkrieg
    10. Antifaschistin Von den Faschisten verfolgt Nach dem Prozess 1922 wird es zunächst still um Minna. Es hat den Anschein, als habe sie sich aus dem öffentlichen Leben zurückgezogen. Nach eigenem Bekunden tritt sie der KPD bei. Als es in der KPD zu Auseinandersetzungen um die Gewerkschaftspolitik kommt, die ihr mit ihren Erfahrungen als Novemberrevolutionärin nicht konsequent genug sind, und auch zu Dis- kussionen, ob die KPD revolutionär genug sei, wendet sich Minna Fasshauer der KAPD zu. Später solidarisiert sich sie sich auch mit der von August Thalheimer gegründeten KPD-O. Thalheimer war Redakteur beim Braunschweiger Volksfreund gewesen. Dokumente darüber gibt es unseres Wissens nicht. Zwei Jahre vorher im Dezember 1920, schon Mitglied der K.A.P.D., geißelte sie auf einer Ar- beitslosenversammlung die ständig längeren Arbeitszeiten, die von Unternehmerseite verlangt würden. In diesem Bericht der Braunschweiger Arbeiter-Zeitung vom 7. Dezember 1920 hieß es u.a.: „Durch Stillegung von Betrieben und Betriebseinschränkungen wollen die Unterneh- mer den Glauben erwecken, dass ohne Aufhebung des Achtstundentages die Produktion nicht aufrecht zu erhalten sei. Auch in Braunschweig hat diese Unternehmer-sabotage eingesetzt.“ Es ist nur schwer vorstellbar, dass Minna Faßhauer die Hände in den Schoß gelegt hat. Hier stehen wir mit den Recherchen erst am Anfang. Faschismus Erst seit 1935 tauchen wieder Akten auf. Minna wird mit August Merges und weiteren 14 Ge- noss*innen des Hochverrats angeklagt. In der Klageschrift heißt es: „die Beschuldigte Faß- hauer war ebenfalls Anhängerin der rätekommunistischen Idee und bildete als alte bewährte Kommunistin eine zuverlässige Stütze der staatsfeindlichen Bestrebungen. Sie erhielt von Schade Drucksachen zur Verteilung.

During the 1920s, Berlin flourished as centre of modern culture. Yet this flourishing did not exist exclusively amongst the intellectual elites that occupied the city centre and affluent western suburbs. It also extended into the proletarian districts to the north and east of the city. Within these areas existed a complex urban landscape that was rich with cultural tradition and artistic expression. This thesis seeks to redress the bias towards the centre of Berlin and its recognised cultural currents, by exploring the art and architecture found in the city’s working-class districts.
