Social democratic correspondence

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Social Democratic Correspondence was an article service of the German Left edited by Julian Balthasar Marchlewski , Franz Mehring and Rosa Luxemburg , which appeared three times a week in 150 hectrographed copies, for the first time on December 27, 1913 .

The correspondence was regularly obtained from 60 social democratic newspapers and several individuals. It contained political editorials, and the economic newsletters were intended for reprint mainly in small social democratic newspapers.

The correspondence represented an attempt by the left to continue to speak publicly even after it was ousted from the editorial office of the Leipziger Volkszeitung in November 1913. However, this attempt met with little response from the editors and publishers of the party organs. Until August 1914, Mehring's articles were printed most frequently.

Under the conditions of the truce since the beginning of the First World War , Marchlewski's “Wirtschaftliche Rundschau” was published only once a week from January 1915, the last edition of which was delivered on May 13, 1915 as no.
