Paperback. Condition: New. Richard Muller, a leading figure of the German Revolution in 1918, is unknown today. As the operator and unionist who represented Berlin's metalworkers, he was main organiser of the 'Revolutionary Stewards', a clandestine network that organised a series of mass strikes between 1916 and 1918. With strong support in the factories, the Revolutionary Stewards were the driving force of the Revolution. By telling Muller's story, this study gives a very different account of the revolutionary birth of the Weimar Republic.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. div>"Hoffrogge has done historians of the German Revolution and the Weimar Republic a valuable service by reconstructing the trajectory of a key figure in the revolution (and one of its most important early historians), and by enabling us to see these events through the different focus afforded by a leading protagonist of the workers' councils", Australia"In this study of Richard Mller's role in the German Revolution, Ralf Hoffrogge sheds light on one of the most important, and yet understudied, aspects of the upheaval: the role of revolutionary shop stewards and workers' councils in the overthrow of the old order and the establishment of the new one.[T]his work provides a much-needed perspective on the German upheaval from the bottom up. It places Richard Mller's long neglected role in the revolution at center stage, and reminds us of the revolutionary promise that was the German Revolution."Against the Current"Hoffrogge's biography differs from those written about revolutionary icons like Liebknecht or Luxemburg for very practical reasons. The latter were from middle-class backgrounds and used to writing letters and articles offering biographers insights into their political but also private lives. An ordinary worker like Mller did not leave comparable records.Hoffrogge's book is a first-rate invitation to think about a link between Richard Mller and the Revolutionary Shop Stewards and today's still unfocused struggles against imperialist wars and capitalist exploitation"WorkingUSA"The merit of Hoffrogge's contribution is a capacity to translate his extensive research into a wide-ranging historical analysis and narrative of the role of the Revolutionary Shop Stewards and Richard Mller. "-Dario Azzellini"Ralf Hoffrogge has authored an invaluable addition to the literature of German radicalism by detailing the life of one of the key leaders of the Revolutionary Shop Stewards."-William A. Pelz"Ralf Hoffrogge . explores the complicated relationship between the Stewards and the various socialist political parties with great skill and discusses the emergence of a new kind of socialism amongst Mller and his colleagues, which did not focus on state power and centralization but rather on grassroots democracy and workers' control, sometimes known as council communism."-Dick Geary"This study deserves special consideration because it addresses two of the main puzzles of modern German history: how did a supposedly strong state collapse in 1917 and 1918, and how did the SPD subsequently assume power? Already in the 1920s, Arthur Rosenberg pointed out that the Social Democrats followed a dual tactic of propagating but also preventing revolution. By clarifying the roles played in all this by Mller and the shop stewards, Hoffrogge has moved the discussion forward, showing the way in which revolutionary unrest spread and forced the Social Democrats into a much more active role than they had previously adopted."Central European History An authoritative and engaging political biography of one of the most important, yet largely unknown, leaders of the German revolution.

Paperback. Condition: New. Now a quarter of a century after the opening of the archives in Berlin and Moscow, the role of the German Communist Party (KPD) has been the subject of a new wave of studies. With this book, this new field of scholarship will be available in English for the first time. The book begins with the editors' comprehensive contextualisation of the KPD within the history of the ill-fated Weimar Republic, as well its location within the Moscow-based Communist International (Comintern) thus bringing together the global and the `local'. In the rest of the book, authors offer a flavour of the rich texture of the world of German Communism. Attention is given to the party's revolutionary origins in 1918/19, accounting for the importance of not only Rosa Luxemburg's Spartacus League, but also the `Left Radicals', whose stronghold was Bremen and north-western Germany. The policy dilemmas of being a mass party in Germany are then elucidated, but ultimately, the party's fate and its policy-making were dominated by Moscow in the process known as `Stalinisation', which neared completion by the end of the 1920s. However, this volume also includes a detailed appraisal of left-wing Communists' opposition to Stalin and Stalinisation, as well as the party's changing relationship with the SPD-led trade unions. A section in the volume presents new research on how German communism aspired to reach beyond its core support among the working class by examining its overtures to peasants, avant-garde artists, pacifists and prominent left-wing personalities outside the party's ranks. Finally, an account of Stalin's own betrayal of German communism is offered after the Nazis' `seizure of power' in 1933. This book represents essential reading for academic, undergraduate and general readers interested in twentieth German history and politics and the interwar communist movement.With thanks to the Nina Fishman translation award run by the Amiel Melburn Trust.

Broschiert. Condition: Neu. 2., erweiterte Auflage. Reihe: theorie. org -- Die soziale Frage, welche der klassischen Arbeiterbewegung zugrunde lag, ist heute wieder aktuell. Auch der Sozialismus als Utopie wird neu diskutiert. Die Geschichte des Sozialismus ist jedoch weder an den Universitäten noch in politischen Debatten ein prominentes Thema. Doch wie kann man über die Zukunft nachdenken, ohne die Vergangenheit zu kennen? Diese Einführung liefert einen historischen Überblick über die sozialistische Arbeiterbewegung vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in Deutschland, aber Fragen von Internationalismus, Kolonialismus und Migration nehmen breiten Raum ein. Sozialismus - Geschichte.
