He studied at the universities of Berlin and Leipzig, taking the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the latter. From the beginning his leanings were democratic and liberal, and when the time came for him to submit himself to the stupidities of the Prussian drill sergeant he left Prussia and went to live in Leipzig, which in those days was " foreign territory ". This deliberate revolt caused the breaking off of relations between him and his family. Whilst still a young man he began to take an active part in public life and in the political struggles of the day. At the age of 25 he was a member of the 1 small band of democrats led by Guido Weiss and Johann Jacoby which had sufficient courage to protest openly against the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Bismarck after the Franco­ Prussian War.

Though there is only one reference—which is found in the chapter on ‘Absolute and Relative Surplus Value’— as any sane person would do, I of course immediately looked it up and forgot all about what it was I had actually been looking for. In the relevant section, Marx writes that, [There] is no natural obstacle absolutely preventing one man from lifting himself from the burden of the labour necessary to maintain his own existence, and imposing it on another, just as there is no unconquerable natural obstacle to the consumption of the flesh of one man by another.4 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at a Ph.D. masterclass with William Clare Roberts at Aarhus University in June 2018. I would like to thank William Clare Roberts, Søren Mau, Jonas Ross Kjærgård, and Signe Leth Gammelgaard for their useful comments, criticisms, and proposals. Thank you also to David Leopold who kindly discussed this paper with me at great length. 2 Ph.D.

  • 3. the Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust by Max Beer
    Curr Psychol DOI 10.1007/s12144-007-9017-3 The Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust Max Beer # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract In 1993 Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in Germany. At the same time, in Canada in general and in Montreal in particular, anti-Semitism was becoming more widespread. The Canadian Jewish Congress, as a result of the growing tension in Europe and the increase in anti-Semitism at home, was reborn in 1934 and became the authoritative voice of Canadian Jewry. During World War II the Nazis embarked on a campaign that resulted in the systematic extermination of millions of Jews. This article focuses on the Montreal Jewish community, its leadership, and their response to the fate of European Jewry. The study pays particular attention to the Canadian Jewish Congress which influenced the outlook of the community and its subsequent actions. As the war progressed, loyalty to Canada and support for the war effort became the overriding issues for the community and the leadership and concern for their European brethren faded into the background. Keywords Anti-Semitism . Holocaust . Montreal . Quebec . Canada . Bronfman . Uptowners . Downtowners . Congress . Caiserman The 1930s, with the devastating worldwide economic depression and the emergence of Nazism in Germany, set the stage for a war that would result in tens of millions of deaths and the mass extermination of Europe’s Jews. The decade marked a complete stoppage of Jewish immigration to Canada, an increase in anti-Semitism on the North American continent, and the revival of the Canadian Jewish Congress as the voice for the Canadian Jewish community.

  • Left Hegelianism, Arab Nationalism, and Labor Zionism
    Left Hegelianism, Arab Nationalism, and Labor Zionism by Stephen P. Halbrook Virginia State Bar A significant portion of the conflicting leftist ideologies of the contem- porary Middle East -in particular, the socialist philosophies of both Arabs and Israelis-is an outgrowth of nineteenth-century social theories and philosophies of history originating from a group of individuals who at one point constituted the Young Hegelians. Moses Hess, Michael Bakunin, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, the respective founders of Zionist socialism, anarchist socialism, and Marxist socialism, were associates in Berlin and Paris in the 1840's who attempted to apply the thought of Hegel to revolu- tionary, democratic, and communist ideas. While traditional and modern- istic interpretations of Jewish and Arab world views obviously influenced the development of Zionism and Arab nationalism, the ideological roots of the socialist varieties of these philosophies may be traced in part to the con- tributions of the left Hegelians. A key to the comprehension of the philo- sophical outlooks of political forces as diverse as the Labor Party of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization may be found in the comparison and contrast of the thought of Hess, Bakunin, Marx and Engels. Hegel's philosophy of history not only expressed prevailing European perceptions of Middle Eastern peoples but also influenced some (but not all) of the left Heeelians in respect to the auestion of colonialism as a modern- izing force. ~h~omo~vineii, perhaps ;he most significant Marxist Zionist philospher and whose interpretations of Marxism contribute to the central ihesis of this essay, has sumharized Hegel's earliest analysis of the Oriental world in these terms: The oriental nations are characterized.

  • Digital Histories: Emergent Approaches Within the New Digital History (Pp
    CHAPTER 15 The Many Themes of Humanism Topic Modelling Humanism Discourse in Early 19th-Century German-Language Press Heidi Hakkarainen and Zuhair Iftikhar Introduction Topic modelling is often described as a text-mining tool for conducting a study of hidden semantic structures of a text or a text corpus by extracting topics from a document or a collection of documents.1 Yet, instead of one singular method, there are various tools for topic modelling that can be utilised for historical research. Dynamic topic models, for example, are often constructed temporally year by year, which makes it possible to track and analyse the ways in which topics change over time.2 This chapter provides a case example on topic modelling historical primary sources. We are using two tools to carry out topic modelling, MALLET and Dynamic Topic Model (DTM), in one dataset, containing texts from the early 19th-century German-language press which have been subjected to optical character recognition (OCR). All of these texts were discussing humanism, which was a newly emerging concept before mid- century, gaining various meanings in the public discourse before, during and after the 1848–1849 revolutions. Yet, these multiple themes and early inter- pretations of humanism in the press have been previously under-studied. By How to cite this book chapter: Hakkarainen, H., & Iftikhar, Z. (2020).

  • Chapter Fourteen 'Party Projects in England' (January 1902) Max Beer
    Chapter Fourteen ‘Party Projects in England’ (January 1902) Max Beer In his essay on ‘Party Projects in England’, Max Beer turns from the Fabian ideas of Sidney Webb to pro- posals from John Hobson to create what Beer calls a party of ‘socialism sans doctrines’ – a fusion of social- ist, radical and labour groups into a single, centre-left party. Beer’s account of the economic ideas behind Hobson’s project is in some ways reminiscent of Eduard Bernstein’s thinking in The Preconditions for Socialism. In particular, Hobson and Bernstein both rejected Marx’s labour-theory of value. Bernstein thought Marx could account neither for the distribu- tion of incomes in modern society nor for the grow- ing contribution to prosperity by service industries,1 while, for Hobson, ‘true surplus-value’, or ‘dis- guised profit’, was simply the excess that any party to a bargain acquired through shrewd negotiating or superior power. Bernstein reviewed three of Hobson’s early works in Die Neue Zeit: The Evolution of Modern Capitalism, Problems of Poverty and The Problem of the Unem- ployed.2 He was enthusiastic about Hobson’s ethi- cal convictions, but he disputed his emphasis on 1. Bernstein 1993, pp. 47–56. 2. Hobson 1894, 1891, 1896. 266 • Max Beer underconsumption.3 According to Bernstein, Hobson borrowed his theory of underconsumption from Thomas Robert Malthus’s explanation of trade depressions. Bernstein denied that capitalism necessarily entailed undercon- sumption, even citing Marx’s point that crises typically began when workers acquired a larger share than usual of the commodities intended for consump- tion.4 Hobson’s remedy for unemployment was to increase the consumption of the masses through taxing unearned income, shortening working time and raising wages.
