Jules Guesde
Jules Bazile , called Jules Guesde , (born November 11, 1845 in Paris , † July 28, 1922 in Saint-Mandé , Département Seine , today Val-de-Marne ) was a French politician .
Jules Guesde spread Marxist ideas in France through his newspaper L'Égalité (1877–1883) . In 1882 he founded the Parti ouvrier with Paul Lafargue , which was renamed Parti ouvrier français in 1893 .
In 1893 he was elected MP for Roubaix . He saw himself as collectivist, internationalist and revolutionary. In 1899 he stood against Jean Jaurès on the question of participation in the bourgeois government of Waldeck-Rousseau .
In 1902 his party merged with several others to form the Parti socialiste français . At the international socialist congress in Amsterdam in 1904 his theses had great success, but in France the tendency represented by Jaurès won the majority. In 1905, the Parti socialiste de France (ex-parti ouvrier français) and the Parti socialiste français merged to create the Section française de l'Internationale ouvrière (SFIO).
Despite his theoretical positions, Guesde was minister from 1914 to 1916 ( Viviani and Briand cabinets ) and represented nationalist positions during the First World War .
