 Manifesto of the Communist Party
It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the spectre of communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
The inner organization of this primitive communistic society was laid bare, in its typical form, by Lewis Henry Morgan's (1818-1861) crowning discovery of the true nature of the gens and its relation to the tribe.
The socialist and communist literature of France, a literature that originated under the pressure of a bourgeoisie in power, and that was the expressions of the struggle against this power, was introduced into Germany at a time when the bourgeoisie in that country had just begun its contest with feudal absolutism.

In the archive of party chairman Ernst Christiansen, a unique set of letters from the Swedish communist Oskar Samuelson, the Comintern's Scandinavian treasurer at the time, is preserved; he distributed large sums to both the USA and to the European parties [14].
In the French party's case, it seems that up to one third of its expenditure was covered by the subsidy during the 1920s.
However, the Danish party was a problem-child put on a starvation diet, but the system of a fixed allocation plus possible extraordinary subsidies seems to have been the same.

 Hemp News No. 26
Party leader Paddy Ashdown abruptly left the conference platform as the ammendent calling for decriminalisation for the use and possession of the drug went to a card vote.

He said it was the unanimous view of the party's MPs to oppose the conference amendment on decriminalisation of cannabis and he denied that the views of the party's rank and file were being shrugged aside.

Traditionally the party of industry and protectionism, the Conservatives, one of the "old parties," are the junior coalition partner in the current government.
The Radicals are a socially liberal party that emerged from a reformist and pacifist wing of the Liberal party.
The party is associated with a minor Christian trade union movement, and thus tends to support efforts by the government to curtail the power of the dominant and ideologically social democratic trade union federation.

 Anti-Semitism after the Holocaust - Also in Denmark - Arthur Arnheim
The sources of Danish anti-Semitism are to be found in three different political environments: Left-wing based bias against Israel and Jews; incitement by Moslem immigrants (especially from Lebanon and Palestine); and Christian anti-Semitism disguised as compassion for the sufferings of ordinary Palestinians.
As a result of the affair, a leading communist who had previously been a member of the central committee of the DKP, Peter P. Rohde, left the party, and his wife, Ina Rohde, was banned from the party after publicly accusing the party of anti-Semitism.
The chief ideologist of the party was Anne Grethe Holmsgaard.

 An exchange on the Danish Euro referendum
This was the basis of the governing Social Democratic Party's (SPD) presentation of euro-membership to the Danish population.
Leading party member Kristian Thulesen Dahl said that the SPP based its own views on a report written by Robert Mundell, a Nobel Prize winning economist, “that a common currency requires a mobile workforce, so that workers can move to places where there is need for them and where there is good pay.
Although they split quite early from the Danish Communist Party and made "democracy" the principal issue of their split, the SPP have retained the nationalist political orientation that characterizes all the numerous splinters from Stalinism worldwide.

 Denmark - History - The Developing Welfare State   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In 1968, a non- socialist party government was formed by the Social Liberals, the Conservative People's Party and the Liberals, led by Hilmar Baunsgaard of the Social Liberal Party.

This principle is characteristic of the Nordic welfare states and is one of the reasons behind the high degree of consensus between political parties and social classes, as reflected in the legislation.

 CHNN, No 3, April 1997: Some Recent Books
Jakobsen is mainly concerned with untangling the complicated web of relationships between the founding leaders of the Party, the up-and-coming 'bolshevised' generation of Danish Communists and of course the Comintern's role in the unfolding events.
At the time Jacobson was a member of the Danish Communist Party and his two volumes, published by the DKP's publishing house, caused something of a stir as he broke with what had been the official Party practice of 'painting Aksel Larsen in a negative light'.
His massive two volume work (1088 pages) on intellectuals in the Danish Party, Kommunismens Kaltur — DKP og de intellektuelle 1918-1960 (Tiderne Skifter, 1993) is, in contrast to the titles referred to above, not concerned with the twists and turns of the 'Party line', fractional struggles among Party leaders and the impact of the Comintern.

 Monthly Review: Efficiency and welfare under capitalism: Denmark vs. the United States; a short comparison   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
From his early commitment as a member of the Danish Communist Party (until developments in the Soviet Union made him leave the Party) he retained his original engagement with the cause of socialism.
For that reason our Danish Social Democratic Welfare State has come under constant pressure from capital and from our bourgeois political parties, which are of course assisted ideologically by the neoliberal, monetarist, discourse pouting out of the Anglo-Saxon world.

 CNN.com - Gus Hall, American Communist Party boss, dies at 90 - October 16, 2000
A communist activist since 1926, Hall never repudiated his ideas, even after the dissolution of Communist societies in eastern Europe and the dismantling of the Soviet Union, events he bitterly lamented.
Such persecution, he said, was responsible for the decline in party membership, from about 100,000 in the 1930s to about 15,000 in the 1990s.
He was elected Communist Party chairman in 1959 after his release from prison, and received the Order of Lenin, the highest medal in the Soviet Union.

Along with interviews with Danish rescuers, conducted in 1997 in an unrelated context, a preliminary, exploratory survey of testimonies broadly relating to rescues will help identify possible prominent themes or factors not considered by the literatures on exclusion/inclusion and mobilization, enabling more appropriately targeted examinations of archives elsewhere.
Both primary and secondary sources appear to be particularly limited and difficult to access in the former communist countries, where research and archives were hampered by the political agenda and interference of state agencies.

 Danish Trotskyism in World War Two
The Nazi attack upon the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, the Danish police action against the Communist Party and Spanish Civil War volunteers, together with the adoption by the parliament of the unconstitutional 'Communist Law', all meant a violent sharpening of the situation in the country.
