For ease of reading, titles of books have been given in English, even where no English edition in fact exists; this follows the practice of the French edition with respect to works in German, Russian, etc. References from Marx and Engels are to the two-volume Selected Works (Moscow, I958), and to the Selected Correspondence (Moscow, I953)· References from Lenin are to the three-volume Selected Works (Moscow, r967) or to the current English edition of the Collected Works (translated from the Russian Fourth Edition). References from the Sixth World Congress of the Communist International are to the Proceedings and the Theses and Resolutions as published in Inprecorr. In all the above cases, quotations are given in the existing translation; in other cases, and in the case of short quotations from A1arx, Engels or Lenin where no precise reference is given, the quotations have been translated from the French version given by Neuberg. For Chinese proper names I have used the Wade-Giles system of transliteration, except for names more familiar in another form- e.g. Canton, Soochow. Wollenberg's introduction has been translated from the German. The footnotes are all Neuberg's, but references have in some cases been made more precise. Square brackets have been used for interpolations by the translator, e.g. Rcval [Tallin], N[eumann]. How we wrote Armed Insurrection by Erich Wollenberg I. BACKGROUND In the spring of 1928 Piatnitsky, 1 the Organizing Secretary ofthe Comin­ tern, called me into his office. I was at that time on the technical staff of the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow, in charge of its military bureau, and taught in the military schools in which German com­ munists were trained as specialists in insurrection. Among those who took part in the discussion, in addition to Piatnitsky, were : General Cnschlicht, 2 second-in-command to the People's Commissar for Defence and in charge of liaison between the General Staff of the Red Army and the Comintern; 'Ercoli', i.e. Togliatti, head of the Agitprop (agitation and propaganda) division of the Co min tern ; two or three high-ranking Soviet officers who taught as I did in the military schools for German communists; and a number of other Comintern functionaries. Piatnitsky explained the aim of our discussion. He said that Alfred Langer's The Road to Victory: the Art of Armed Insurrection' was an outstanding manual for functionaries with a ?vfarxist-Lcninist training. A new, revised and expanded edition must be prepared. In addition, now was the right moment to publish a popular work on armed insurrection, aimed at a wider public of communists and sympathisers. Fur this purpose the teaching material which the Red Army Staff had devised for the German communist military schools was exceptionally suitable. 1 AnOld Bolshevik who was liquidated during the Stalinist purges (1936--8). �Old Bolshevik, liquidated like Piatnitsky. s This book, published secretly in Germany (in German) in 1928 and reprinted in an illegal second edition in I9JI, was the work of a team of German communist military specialists in Moscow, under the direction of 'Alfred' (pseudonym of Turc Leben, an officer first in the Finnish and later in the Soviet Army). 'Alfred' was assigned to the Comintern (Piatnitsky) by the Red Army Staff. At first the names of all the co-authors were to be given on the title-page (my pseudonym was 'Walter'). However, since this made a terribly long ('langi!T') name for a relatively smaU book, we banded together under the name 'Alfred Langer'. 10 The various individual sections of the new book were to he pr<>­ vided by the Red Army Staff and handed over to comrade Ercoli (Togliatti), who was responsible for putting the work together and publishing it as quickly as possible. The new book, partly to distinguish it fr om the 'Langer' book, was to be called simply Armed Insurrection. In order to avoid the suspicion of Soviet interference in the internal aifairs of other countries, it would have to leave aside the important experiences of the 1919 armed insurrections in Hungary and Bavaria, which had led to the creation of Red Armies and the seizure of power by the proletariat.' Piatnitsky also said that the new hook must carry an 'author's' name, and naturally this could not be either a Russian name or that of any existing communist functionary. Since it was to be published first in German, and since it was a new book on the subject of armed insur­ rection, we chose the name '_.iVeubcrg'. Vv7e added an 'A' before this surname ; a 'B' would have served equally well. It may seem astonishing that an illegal communist hook should have to have an 'author's name' and a 'publisher'. The German edition, which also had the subtitle: 'Attempt at a Theoretical Presentation', carried the imprint: 'rgz8 - Otto Meyer, Printer and Publisher - Zurich'. These particulars would allow any comrade found in possession of the 'treasonable' book to claim that he had bought it at a meeting or legal demonstration, from an unknown seller, in the innocent belief that it was a legal publication. 'Look, here is the name of the author, and tl1e Swiss publisher!' In these notes on 'Neuberg's' book I have set myself the following task: r. to indicate the political background to the various insurrections; 2. to reveal certain distortions which were made in the presentation of the revolutionary events, 'in the interests of the Soviet State, the Com­ intern, and the current leadership of the communist parties concerned'. In addition, I have put names to such authors of the individual sections as are known to me. The firsttwo sections ('The Second International and Insurrection'; 'Bolshevism and Insurrection') were both written by the Old Bolshevik, 0. Piatnitsky, who lived for several years in Germany before the First World War. I have nothing to add to what he says here. 4 These experiences were dealt with in a book by a Hungarian communist, and in my Th( Strugg/( Df th� Bavarian Red Army, which had been brought out in Russian by the State militarypublishing house in 1928 (with a second edition in 1931). How we wrote Armed Insurrection II 2. THE REVAL INSURRECTJO:-o; The study of the Reval insurrection (Chapter 3) was written by a team under the direction of General Unschlicht. It was based partly on the eye-witness accounts of Estonian communists who had fled to the Soviet Union after the crushing of the insurrection. The way in which the organization and execution of the Reval rising was presented corresponds by and large to historical truth.

The Trial of the New Woman: Citizens-in-Training in the New Soviet Republic Elizabeth A. Wood Our task consists in making politics accessible for every labouring woman and in teaching every [female] cook [kukharka] to run the government. – Vladimir Lenin, Third Congress of Soviets, 1918 The accusations were flying thick and fast against the defendant. She had pretensions to running the government and meddling in public affairs. She had taken part in strikes and demonstrations. She was trying to put all women on an equal footing with men. She had destroyed her own femininity, ceasing to be an object of beauty and pleasure for men, ceasing as well to raise her children and, instead, giving them into others’ hands. All these things, it was alleged, con- tradicted woman’s very nature, which was to serve as decoration in men’s lives. The setting was The Trial of the New Woman. The prosecution witnesses included a factory director, a lady secretary, a rich peasant, a priest, and a traditional family woman. The so-called ‘bourgeois’ court initially found the defendant guilty, but then workers appeared on stage, and her judges ran away. Her rights were restored, and she was recognised to be ‘equal to men in all respects’. This Trial of the New Woman was, of course, a mock trial, and the new woman herself emerged as the heroine of the play.

    Proletarian Myth and Political Mobilization: the ‘Kampfgruppen Der Arbeiterklasse’ (Working-Class Combat Groups) in the GDR 1953–1989/90*

    Proletarian Myth and Political Mobilization: The ‘Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse’ (Working-Class Combat Groups) in the GDR 1953–1989/90* Tilmann Siebeneichner Georg-August-Universität Göttingen ABSTRACT Political myths played a crucial role in the legitimation process of the German Democratic Republic. The ‘Kampfgruppen der Ar- beiterklasse’ – Combat Groups for short – created after the June- Uprising in 1953 were meant to materialise the myth of a united and pugnacious proletariat which would stand up to defend its ‘so- cialist achievements’ (‘sozialistische Errungenschaften’). On- going social ties at the grass-roots level proved as relevant for the support of the Combat Groups as local traditions. This points to invidual ‘spaces of experience’ (‘Erfahrungsräume’) which were crucial for ‘eigen-sinnige’ or ‘stubborn’ interest adoptions of the message of the Proletarian Myth. An analysis of the Combat Groups in this perspective thus promises information on the com- munication of a specific view on the political reality in ‘real exist- ing Socialism’, as well as it illustrates how people at the grass- roots level adopted structures of power for themselves. I ‘A ghost is haunting Europe’, quotes Erwin Geschonnek, commander of the workforce Combat Groups (‘Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse’) in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), from the Communist Manifesto in a scene in the DEFA film ‘Stories of that Night’, 1967, when describing the mission of the Combat Groups in the course of the erection of the Berlin Wall, and adds, Social Evolution & History, Vol. 7 No. 2, September 2008 101–134 © 2008 ‘Uchitel’ Publishing House 101 102 Social Evolution & History / September 2008 ‘Right now, we are this ghost’1.

    Die Novemberrevolution in der Geschichtswissenschaft der DDR: Die Kontroversen des Jahres 1958 und ihre Folgen im internationalen Kontext1 Mario Keßler Die deutsche Novemberrevolution von 1918 galt als eine ungeliebte Revolution. Keine der Parteien der Weimarer Republik vermochte sich mit ihren Ergebnissen zu identifizieren. Die Nazis und die konservativ-nationalistische Rechte lehnten die Revolution in Bausch und Bogen ab, doch auch die republiktreuen Parteien, vor allem die SPD, taten sich mit ihrem Erbe schwer. Bereits im Jahre 1921 hatte Eduard Bernstein in einem frühen Rückblick auf die Revolution „jedes unüber- legte Eingreifen in die Grundlagen der volkswirtschaftlichen Unternehmungs- und Verkehrsverhältnisse“, das zum Kern der sozialen Forderungen geworden war, entschieden zurückgewiesen,2 und acht Jahre später hatte der damalige Reichskanzler Hermann Müller in einem Erinnerungsbuch zur Novemberrevolu- tion alle Forderungen einer Nationalisierung der Schlüsselindustrien als in der Tendenz „Experimente nach russischem Muster“ be- und verurteilt.3 Die KPD hatte hingegen 1929 in ihrer „Illustrierten Geschichte der deutschen Revolution“ festgestellt: „Alle Voraussetzungen für den Sieg der proletarischen Revolution waren im November 1918 gegeben, bis auf eine – bis auf die in den Massen verwurzelte revolutionäre Partei und die eigene revolutionäre Erfahrung der Massen.“ Die Arbeiterräte seien zumeist „nach den Absichten der reformisti- schen Führer zusammengeflickt“ worden. Anfänglich politische Machtorgane der Revolution, wären sie unter dem Einfluss der Reformisten zu bloß formellen Kontrollorganen der noch nicht zerstörten alten Staatsmacht degradiert worden.4 Den gegensätzlichen Auffassungen von SPD- und KPD-Autoren war somit die Fixierung auf das sowjetische Experiment, als abschreckendes Beispiel oder als Vorbild, jedenfalls als Maßstab für die sich im November 1918 spontan in Deutschland bildenden Räte gemeinsam.

    Socialism in Europe and the Russian Revolution India and the Contemporary World Society Ofthefuture

    Socialism in Europe and II the Russian Revolution Chapter 1 The Age of Social Change In the previous chapter you read about the powerful ideas of freedom and equality that circulated in Europe after the French Revolution. The French Revolution opened up the possibility of creating a dramatic change in the way in which society was structured. As you have read, before the eighteenth century society was broadly divided into estates and orders and it was the aristocracy and church which controlled economic and social power. Suddenly, after the revolution, it seemed possible to change this. In many parts of the world including Europe and Asia, new ideas about individual rights and who olution controlled social power began to be discussed. In India, Raja v Rammohan Roy and Derozio talked of the significance of the French Revolution, and many others debated the ideas of post-revolutionary Europe. The developments in the colonies, in turn, reshaped these ideas of societal change. ian Re ss Not everyone in Europe, however, wanted a complete transformation of society. Responses varied from those who accepted that some change was necessary but wished for a gradual shift, to those who wanted to restructure society radically. Some were ‘conservatives’, others were ‘liberals’ or ‘radicals’. What did these terms really mean in the context of the time? What separated these strands of politics and what linked them together? We must remember that these terms do not mean the same thing in all contexts or at all times. We will look briefly at some of the important political traditions of the nineteenth century, and see how they influenced change.

  • Moscow Takes Command: 1929–1937

    Moscow Takes Command: 1929–1937

    Section 3 Moscow takes command: 1929–1937 The documents in this section cover the period from February 1929 until early 1937, with most of them being concentrated in the earlier years of this period in line with the general distribution of documents in the CAAL. This period marks an important shift in the history of relations between the CPA and the Comintern for two main reasons. First, because the Comintern became a direct player in the leadership struggles within the Party in 1929 (the main catalyst for which, not surprisingly, was the CPA's long-troubled approach to the issue of the ALP). And second, because it sent an organizer to Australia to `Bolshevize' the Party in 1930±31. A new generation of leaders took over from the old, owing their positions to Moscow's patronage, and thusÐuntil the Party was declared an illegal organization in 1940Ðfully compliant with the policies and wishes of Moscow. The shift in relations just outlined was part of a broader pattern in the Comintern's dealings with its sections that began after the Sixth Congress in 1928. If the `Third Period' thesis was correct, and the world class struggle was about to intensify, and the Soviet Union to come under military attack (and, indeed, the thesis was partly correct, but partly self-fulfilling), then the Comintern needed sections that could reliably implement its policies. The Sixth Congress had been quite open about it: it now required from its national sections a `strict party discipline and prompt and precise execution of the decisions of the Communist International, of its agencies and of the leading Party committees' (Degras 1960, 466).

  • John Schehr Wurde Am 9

    John Schehr Wurde Am 9

    John Schehr wurde am 9. Februar 1896 in Altona an der Elbe geboren. Er war Politiker und nach der Verhaftung Ernst Thälmanns 1933 bis zu seiner Ermordung Vorsitzender der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands. John Schehr stammte aus einer Arbeiterfamilie und absolvierte eine Schlosserlehre. 1912 trat er in die SPD und ein Jahr später in die Transportarbeitergewerkschaft ein. Sein Arbeitsplatz befand sich am Hamburger Hafen. Dort lernte er Ernst Thälmann kennen. Im Jahre 1917 trat er der USPD und 1919 der KPD bei. 1929 wurde John Schehr Mitglied des Zentralkomitees der KPD und 1932 Mitglied des Preußischen Landtags sowie Mitglied des Reichstages für die KPD. Quelle Foto: https://www.die-rote-front.de/john-schehr-%E2%80%A0-1-februar-1934/ Am 13. November 1933 wurde John Schehr verraten und verhaftet. Die Gestapo folterte ihn, um Aussagen zu erpressen. John Schehr erklärte standhaft, dass er über die Tätigkeit der Organisation der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands, über seine politische Arbeit, über die seiner Mitarbeiter keine Aussagen zu machen habe. John Schehr und drei weitere Kommunisten – Eugen Schönhaar, Rudolf Schwarz und Erich Steinfurth – wurden in der Nacht vom 1. auf den 2. Februar 1934 am Berliner Kilometerberg „auf der Flucht erschossen“. Für die Ausführung des Mordes war der Polizeikommissar Bruno Sattler verantwortlich.
