	Umrabulo - Number 22, February 2005
		However, the Second International was to collapse with the outbreak of the First World War as the 'socialists' and those who later came to be known as 'communists' engaged in an ideological battle on the position that the organisation should take in the face of the impending war.
		This shift is generally attributed in Socialist International literature to the presidency of the former German Chancellor, Willy Brandt, who, with the support of the former Swedish Prime Minister, Olof Palme, and his Austrian counterpart, Bruno Kreisky, steered the Socialist International, in the aftermath of the 13th congress of 1976, in a new direction.
		It was thanks to this shift that the Socialist International came to be visibly active as a global player involved, for example, in the resolution of the Middle East conflict, as well as in the regional integration efforts in different parts of the world.

	A LEFT CRITIQUE OF THE SOCIALIST LABOUR PARTY
		However, whether or not a party is really a political party of the workers does not depend solely upon a membership of workers but also upon the men that lead it, and the content of its actions and its political tactics.

		it was the duty of the working class to bring it to a speedy end and to take advantage of the economic and political crisis caused by the war to rouse the masses in order to hasten the downfall of capitalist rule.
