The Internationale (Journal / Group Internationale)

The International . A monthly for the practice and theory of Marxism , edited by Rosa Luxemburg and Franz Mehring , was a socialist magazine.

On April 14, 1915, the first and, for the time being, last edition of this theoretical body appeared, which was supposed to reflect the opinion of the SPD's opposition to the politics of the party leadership, which was still within the party. The magazine was named after the group Internationale , in which influential and well-known politicians of the SPD gathered immediately after the outbreak of World War I.

The Gruppe Internationale and with it the magazine represented the so-called pre-war goals of social democracy and, above all, conjured up the international solidarity of the labor movement. The monthly paper then appeared from 1919 as a theoretical organ of the newly founded KPD .
