    Title: The Collapse of the Second International

    The proletariat's right to revolution was sold for a mess of pottage -- organisations permitted by the present police la.     Take the pamphlet by Karl Legien, leader of the German Social-Democratic trade unions, entitled Why trade union Officials Must Take a More Active Part in the Internal Life of the Party (Berlin, 1915). This is a paper read by the author to a gathering of trade union officials on January 27, 1915. In the course of this lecture Legien read -- and reproduced in his pamphlet -- a most interesting document that would not otherwise have been passed by the military censo.This document -- the so-called Notes for Speakers in the District of Niederbarnim (a suburb of Berlin) -- is an exposition of the views of the German Left-wing Social Democrats, of their protest against the Part

        An English Lord-Lieutenant lives in Dublin, but in fact he has less power than the Dublin capitalist leader, a certain Murphy, publisher of the Independent ("Independent" -- my eye!), principal shareholder and director of the Dublin tramways, and a shareholder in many capitalist enterprises in Dubli.Murphy has declared, on behalf of all the Irish capitalists, of course, that he is ready to spend three-quarters of a million pounds (nearly seven million rubles) to destroy the Irish trade union.     And these unions have begun to develop magnificentl

    A volunteer squad page 127 which cannot shoot, or which has not procured arms, will assist in building barricades, reconnoitring, organising liaisons, setting ambushes for the enemy, setting fire to houses occupied by the enemy, occupying rooms to serve as bases for the insurgents -- in short, thousands of the most diverse functions can be performed by voluntary units of persons who are determined to fight to the last gasp, who know the locality well, who are most closely connected with the populatio.     Let an appeal be made at every factory, in every trade union and in every village for the formation of such volunteer fighting squad.People who are well known to each other will form them in advanc

  • 4 Occurence(s) of the search term trade unionDescription:
    This aim can be achieved only by slow, persistent work to re-educate the masses; this re-education has not only become possible now that the masses have seen that the landowner, capitalist and merchant have really been eliminated, but is actually taking place in thousands of ways through the practical experience of the workers and peasants themselve.It is extremely important in this respect to work for the further organisation of the working people in trade unions; never before has this organisation developed as rapidly anywhere in the world as under Soviet power, and it must be developed until literally all working people are organised  page 113 in properly constituted, centralised and disciplined trade union.We must not confine ourselves to the old, stereotyped forms of the trade union movement, but must, on the one hand, systematically convert the trade unions into organs administering the economy, carefully checking every step we take against the results of practical work; there must be greater and stronger bonds between the trade unions and the Supreme Economic Council, the Commissariat of Labour and, later, with all other branches of the state administration; on the other hand, the trade unions must to a greater degree become organs for the labour and socialist education of the working masses as a whole so that the practical experience of participation in the administration spreads to the more backward sections of the workers, under the control of the vanguard of the worker

    374-75. Translated from the Russian Edited by Julius Katzer Prepared © for the Internet by David J. Romagnolo, djr@marx2mao.org (May 2000) page 374 DRAFT RESOLUTION ON "THE TASKS OF THE TRADE UNIONS,    AND THE METHODS OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENT"[127]     In accordance with the decisions of the Ninth Congress of the Communist Party of Russia, the Conference once again draws the attention of the trade unions to the necessity of these decisions being scrupulously fulfilled, and points out in particular that the imperative need of a single economic plan establishing the order of priority of objectives in the general scheme of economic construction is indisputabl.At the same time, as was recognised by the Party Conference of September 1920, a gradual but steady transition must be effected from urgency procedures to a more even distribution of forces, particularly in the secondment of the individual unions' best organisers to the All-Russia Central Council of Trade Unions with a view to consolidating that body as a whole, improving the functioning of its apparatus, achieving greater system in the work of all trade unions, and thereby strengthening the entire trade union movemen.     This measure should be applied in particular to the Central Committee of the General Transport Workers' Union (Tsektran )[128]; an end must be put to its disproportionate growth as compared with the other unions, and the best elements thus released should extend to the entire trade union movement those methods of the broader application of democracy, the promotion of initiative, participation in the management of industry, the development of emulation, and so forth, which have yielded the best practical result

        2) The working and exploited people of the countryside, whom the urban proletariat must lead into the struggle or, at all events, win over, are represented in all capitalist countries by the following classes:     first, the agricultural proletariat, wage-labourers (by the year, season, or day), who obtain their livelihood by working for hire at capitalist agricultural enterprise.The organisation of this class (political, military, trade union, co-operative, cultural, educational, et.independently and separately from other groups of the rural population, the conduct of intensive propaganda and agitation among this class, and the winning of its support for the Soviets and the dictatorship of the proletariat constitute the fundamental tasks of the Communist parties in all countries;     second, the semi-proletarians or peasants who till tiny plots of land, i.e., those who obtain their livelihood partly as wage-labourers at agricultural and industrial capitalist enterprises and partly by working their own or rented plots of land, which provide their families only with part of their means of subsistenc

        Only a small part of one of the sections of the opposition that existed at the last Congress has placed itself outside the Part.     On the trade union question and on the New Economic Policy no disagreements, or hardly any disagreements, have been revealed in our Part.     The radically and fundamentally "new" achievement of this Congress is that it has provided vivid proof that our enemies are wrong in constantly reiterating that our Party is becoming senile and is losing its flexibility of mind and bod

    We have seen how, under pressure from the workers, the most extreme adherents of the opportunist trend and their leaders have been obliged to resort to this quite "unconstitutional" policy, one that they had themselves condemned a short while befor.It appears that, despite the Menshevik prejudices which have hitherto prevailed in the British trade union movement, the pressure brought to bear by the working people and their political consciousness have become strong enough to blunt the edge of the imperialists' bellicose polic.Continuing our policy of peace, we have taken our stand on the proposals made by the British Government in Jul
