The Development of the Great Schism

By Carl E. Schorske and Carl Emil Schorske

Series: Harvard Historical Studies

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

This book explores the divergent paths of Germany's two major labour parties during the early twentieth century: the democratic, reformist Social Democrats and the totalitarian, socialist-revolutionary Communists. Carl Schorske examines the origins of these factions within the Social Democratic Party of Imperial Germany, analysing the internal conflicts and political dynamics that led to the party's fragmentation. The study also considers how the prewar party's actions influenced the collapse of the labour movement during World War I and paved the way for Leninism's rise in Germany.

This book is well-suited for readers interested in German political history, the labour movement, and the ideological roots of twentieth-century socialism and communism. It is especially valuable for scholars and students of political science, history, and European studies seeking a detailed and nuanced analysis of Social Democratic developments in Imperial Germany.

Description

No political parties of present-day Germany are separated by a wider gulf than the two parties of labor, one democratic and reformist, the other totalitarian and socialist-revolutionary. Social Democrats and Communists today face each other as bitter political enemies across the front lines of the Cold War; yet they share a common origin in the Social Democratic Party of Imperial Germany. How did they come to go separate ways? By what process did the old party break apart? How did the prewar party prepare the ground for the dissolution of the labor movement in World War I, and for the subsequent extension of Leninism into Germany? To answer these questions is the purpose of Carl Schorske's study.
