How could two self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist parties develop such tension and hate for one another and find it natural to claim that the other was a fascist party? This thesis examines the relationship between the two Norwegian parties, AKP and NKP, between 1973 and 1979 by analysing their attitude towards each other represented in material meant for both internal and external use. The thesis approaches the relation on three levels: regarding domestic issues, international issues and ideological differences. It furthermore points to the ideological differences of the parties, with NKP being a part of the Soviet-communism and AKP a part of the Maoist movement, as the underlying factor for why the relationship grew hostile during the seventies. The year 1975 stands out as a special year for the relationship as both parties consolidated ideologically, tightening its bond to respectively China and the Soviet Union. The ideological consolidation had ripple effects on how AKP and NKP perceived different issues, both at the domestic and international level. Even though AKP continued to be formally tied to the Chinese Communist Party until 1989, the party lost attraction to AKP at the end of the seventies as a result of problems within the Maoist movement, which again led to internal problems for AKP. In turn, this was one factor for why the relationship between AKP and NKP became less hostile at the end of the seventies as both parties either lacked or were reluctant to use energy on the other party after several years of hysteria between them. III IV Acknowledgements Several people have helped me in different ways with this thesis and therefore deserves to be thanked. First, I want to thank my supervisor Øystein Sørensen for enlightening conversations and discussions about the left-wing parties in addition to thorough guidance. Sørensen has shared his knowledge and made this whole process much more manageable than expected. Second, I want to thank the whole PECOS gang for many quizzes and tons of chess games in the common room. Thank you to Fride, Ingeborg and Sofia, for reviewing my thesis, correcting all my English flaws. Third, I want to thank my parents for supporting, helping and cheering me on. Fourth, I want to thank Arsenal Football Club for re-orienting my frustration from the thesis to football this semester. Nevertheless, Arsenal-games has been something to look forward to in a stressful period. And last, a big thank you to Vilde for your help and support! You have made it possible to focus entirely on this thesis and have carried my weight of house-duties. I owe you more than you can imagine!

  • The Nazi-Card-Card
    ISSN 1751-8229 Volume Six, Number Three The Nazi-card-card Rasmus Ugilt, Aarhus University Introduction It should be made clear from the start that we all in fact already know the Nazi-card-card very well. At some point most of us have witnessed, or even been part of, a discussion that got just a little out of hand. In such situations it is not uncommon for one party to begin to draw up parallels between Germany in 1933 and his counterpart. Once this happens the counterpart will immediately play the Nazi-card-card and say something like, “Playing the Nazi-card are we? I never thought you would stoop that low. That is guaranteed to bring a quick end to any serious debate.” And just like that, the debate will in effect be over. It should be plain to anyone that it is just not right to make a Nazi of one’s opponent. The Nazi-card-card always wins. This tells us that it is in general unwise to play the Nazi-card, as it is bound to be immediately countered by the Nazi-card-card, but the lesson, I think, goes beyond mere rhetoric. Indeed, I believe that something quite profound and important goes on in situations like this, something which goes in a different direction to the perhaps more widely recognized Godwin’s Law, which could be formulated as follows: “As a discussion in an Internet forum grows longer, the probability of someone playing the Nazi-card approaches 1.” The more interesting law, I think, would be that 1 of the Nazi-card-card, which in similar language states: “The probability of someone playing the Nazi-card-card immediately after the Nazi-card has been played is always close to 1.” In the present work I seek to investigate and understand this curious second card.

  • Bomb Target Norway
    Bomb target Norway About Norwegian political history in a tragic background, the background to the Norwegian fascism. Militarism and na- tionalism are the prerequisites for fas- cism. By Holger Terpi Norway is a rich complex country with a small wealthy militarist and nationalist upper class, a relatively large middle class and a working class. The little known Norwegian militarism has always been problematic. It would censorship, war with Sweden, occupy half of Greenland1, was opponent of a Nordic defense cooperation, garden Norway into NATO2 and EEC, would have plutonium and nuclear weapons3, as well as, monitor and controlling political opponents, in- cluding the radical wing of the labor movement, pacifists and conscientious objectors. And they got it pretty much as they wanted it. One example is the emergency law or emergency laws, a common term for five laws adopted by the Storting in 1950, which introduced stricter measures for acts that are defined as treacherous in war, and also different measures in peacetime, such as censorship of letters, phone monitoring etc.4 1 Legal Status of Eastern Greenland (Den. v.

  • Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Transcript
    Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Transcript Date: Thursday, 9 March 2017 - 1:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 9 March 2017 Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Professor Alec Ryrie This is a series of lectures on ‘extreme Christianity’, and it does not get much more extreme than this. You are familiar with Godwin’s Law, also known as the reductio ad Hitlerum: the notion that every argument in the modern world eventually progresses to the point where someone invokes a Nazi comparison, and the whole thing then collapses. There is a reason for that. Thanks to the Nazis, since 1945 Western civilisation has had something which it had not had for at least two centuries before that: an all-but universally accepted reference point for evil. That is important for any attempt to understand our culture, but it is especially important from the point of view of the history of religion in the West. Because defining evil, the whole business of mapping out what morality is, is supposed to be the core business of any religious community. And in the case of Nazism, Europe’s main religious communities plainly failed to do this. The slow realisation of Nazism’s evil was an essentially secular event, and the fact that our public life is now organised around an essentially secular definition of evil seems to me to be a key fact in understanding the history of religion in modern times. Today I want to look at the sorry story of how German’s Christian communities responded to Nazism: a story of collaboration, enthusiastic enabling, and of strictly limited pushback.

  • DDR Og Venstresida I Norge
    190 Michael Scholz DDR og venstresida i Norge Tysklands Sosialistiske Enhetsparti, Orientering- kretsen og stiftelsen av SF Ser en på forholdet mellom Norge og det tidligere DDR, viser det seg at det fantes forbindelser allerede før DDR ble diplo­ matisk anerkjent i 1973. Forbindelsene var riktignok beskjed­ ne i forhold til dem med Sverige og Finland, men likevel mer aktive enn allment antatt. Dette gjelder også forholdet til de kommunistiske partiene i Norden. De økonomiske kontakt­ ene som var blitt etablert under den sovjetiske militæradmi- nistrasjonen av Øst-Tyskland, ble uten komplikasjoner over­ ført til Norsk Kompensasjonsselskap etter at DDR var grunn­ lagt i 1949. Det fantes en DDR-representasjon for utenriks­ handelen i Oslo fra 1957. Kontaktene ut over de økonomiske forbindelsene begrenset seg i 1950- og 1960-åra først og fremst til kretsen rundt Orientering, og senere til medlemmer av Sosialistisk Folkeparti. Det skyldtes i første rekke deres opposisjon mot norsk NATO-medlemskap og mot militært samarbeid med Vest-Tyskland. Her fantes det uten tvil et fellesskap med DDRs regjering, som hadde en klart antifascis­ tisk bakgrunn. Østtyske kilder som nå er blitt tilgjengelige, kaster nytt lys over disse kontaktene, som lå innenfor rammen av DDRs politikk overfor Nord-Europa. Trass i den omfattende litteraturen om SFs stiftelse, også om det internasjonale aspektet,1 er kontaktene med DDR lite belyst. Dette er overraskende når en tenker på beskyldning­ ene om at SFs ledere var «øst-tyske agenter».2 Med utgangs­ punkt i arkivmateriale fra Utenriksdepartementet i DDR og den internasjonale avdelingen ved SEDs sentralkomité, er denne artikkelen et første bidrag til å belyse kontaktene mellom DDR, Tysklands Sosialistiske Enhetsparti (SED) og Sosialistisk Folkeparti (SF).

  • De Rødes Kamp Mot Fascismen I Norge I 1930-Årene
    75 KNUT DØRUM De rødes kamp mot fascismen i Norge i 1930-årene enne artikkelen søker å gi en samlet oversikt over den sosia- listiske antifascismen i Norge i 1930-årene, med året 1933 som et omdreiningspunkt. Den vil ha et særlig fokus på hvordan DHitlers maktovertakelse i 1933 skapte en kortvarig radikalisering hos sosialdemokratene og kommunistene med visse tegn til samlingsbe- strebelser, og hvordan de to sosialistiske retningene valgte ulike stra- tegier etter 1933. Analysen som følger, har utnyttet ulike typer forskningsbidrag, men like mye forfatterens egne kildefunn. Mens norske historikere har skrevet mye om fascismen, har antifascismen i mellomkrigstiden fått liten oppmerksomhet. Et unntak er Jorunn Bjørgums arbeider som viser at de norske sosialdemokratene myntet sin krisepolitikk i 1933 på å demme opp for fascismen.1 Ellers finnes enkeltarbeider – først og fremst masteroppgaver – som kaster lys over de sosialistiske partienes kamp mot den norske fascismen i årene rundt 1933. De rødes kamp mot fascismen i 1930-årene ble sjelden dramatisk. Det norske Arbeiderparti (DNA) eller sosialdemokratene2 oppfordret 1.

Kirjoituksia historian ongelmista (Turku 2000). 2. Man kan absolutt diskutere hvor berettiget det er å sette Det norske Arbeiderparti likt med sosialdemokrater. Kominternmedlemskapet i 1919 og moskvatesene i 1920 førte til at et sosialdemokratisk og reformistisk mindretall forlot Arbeiderpartiet og stiftet Norges Socialdemokratiske Arbeiderparti i 1921. Fram til 1923 pågikk det en strid innad i Arbeiderpartiet om Kominternmedlemskapet, men hvor begge fløyene holdt Historisk Tidskrift för Finland årg.
