Socialist League (1908)
The Socialist Bund (SB) was founded in 1908 by Gustav Landauer , Erich Mühsam , Martin Buber , Margarethe Faas-Hardegger and others and was an association of decentralized municipalities that were supposed to convey a picture of future socialism. Landauer laid down the statutes of the SB in twelve articles. The main goal was to prepare a new order of freedom by founding settlements. The federation was based on manual, intellectual and artistic activity, was an association based on the principles of autonomy and free association with other groups and linked to the idea of “reaching community through isolation”. The concept combined Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's idea of mutualism with the philosophy of decentralization by Pyotr Alexejewitsch Kropotkin and Ebenezer Howard , so there was no central authority. At the beginning of the World War 1913/14, the Socialist Bund, which had up to 800 members, failed and remained insignificant as a political organization.
Erich Mühsam ran the subgroups called "Tat" and "Anarchist".
From 1909 to 1915 the journal Der Sozialist was published in Berlin as an organ of the Socialist League by Gustav Landauer.
