Eisner was the name he took when he began to write, and that name he adopted in his work for Social-Democracy.
Kurt Eisner was always an open Republican as well as a Social-Democrat, whereas for tactical reasons German Social-Democracy, particularly in its later stages, rather cold-shouldered anything in the shape of Republican propaganda as being unnecessary and included in general Social-Democratic aims.

Kurt Eisner wurde 1867 in eine bürgerliche jüdische Familie hineingeboren und verlebte seine Kinder-, Jugend- und Studienjahre in Berlin, wobei er schon früh philosophische und literarische Interessen entwickelte.
Zwar hatte auch Eisner in Deutschland das Opfer aggressiver Nachbarn erblickt, doch als ihn eifriges Aktenstudium von Deutschlands Kriegsschuld überzeugt hatte, trat er konsequent auf die Seite der Kriegsgegner und später in die Unabhängige Sozialdemokratische Partei ein.
Insofern heisst Eisners zu gedenken immer auch, über vertane Alternativen der deutschen Geschichte nachzudenken.
