	Karl Renner Biography / Biography of Karl Renner Biography
		Karl Renner was born on Dec. 14, 1870, the eighteenth and last child of impoverished peasants in the Moravian village of Unter-Tannowitz near the Austrian border.
		Always a pragmatic Marxist, Renner devoted himself during World War I primarily to questions of food supply, social security payments, and tax burdens for the lower classes--beyond a continued and impassioned plea for peace and a solution of the nationalities question.
		With the Socialists out of power, Renner, with the exception of his tenure as president of the National Assembly from April 1931 to March 1933, faded increasingly into the background and, during the fascist era of Engelbert Dollfuss, was branded a traitor and briefly imprisoned in 1934.

	Perception and Reality - UN Security Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Austrian Karl Renner (1870-1950), who was foreign minister after World War I and also the first president of the new Austrian Republic (1945-1950), suggested a solution to rising nationalism within the Habsburg Empire.
		Renner argued that the economic sphere should cross national boundaries, and that there should be a central, supra-national government - anticipating features of the European Community (although two World Wars and many smaller conflicts later).
		Renner's precise idea was that each individual, irrespective of his domicile, should be a member of one ethnic organization which would have agencies all over the empire - much like the Catholic Church, once it became independent of the state.

	Andrés Nin: Austro-Marxism and the National Question (1935)
		Karl Renner and Otto Bauer are the two main Austrian theoreticians of the national question.
		From this general theory Renner foresaw a dual organisation of the State: one organisation for national-cultural purposes, based on a “personal” principle, and one based on technical principles based purely on territorial criteria.
		Renner’s aspirations were fully satisfied after the 1918 revolution, while the movements of national emancipation were a powerful factor in breaking up the empire which the future Chancellor was so intent on preserving.

		Despite his anti-Soviet reputation, Renner was chosen by the Soviet leaders to form and head a provisional government, apparently believing the aging politician would be an easily manipulated figurehead.
		Renner, however, established authority based on his leadership role in the last freely elected parliament, not on the backing of the Soviet Union.
		Renner apportioned ministries in the provisional government's cabinet roughly based on the political balance of the pre-1934 era, but the nationalist bloc was excluded and Communist representation increased.

		Karl Renner is the most pompous, solid, and conceited representative of this type.
		The transformation of the author of the jubilee article on Karl Marx, famous for its revolutionary pathos, into a comic-opera-Chancellor, who expresses his feelings of respect and thanks to the Scandinavian monarchs, is in reality one of the most instructive paradoxes of history.
		He is a lyric poet, a philosopher, a mystic—a philosophical lyric poet of passivity, as Renner is its publicist and legal expert, as Hilferding is its economist, as Baner is its sociologist.
