Socialist-Revolutionary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Party also had the "SR Combat Organization", a terrorist group led by Gregory Gershuni which operated seperately from the party so as not to discredit the Socialist Revolutionaries. Their programme was in the democratic socialist mold and garnered much support amongst Russia's rural peasantry who in particular supported their programme of land-socialisation as opposed to the Bolshevik programme of land-nationalisation. The largest Tambov Rebellion against Bolsheviks was led by an SR Alexander Antonov. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Socialist-Revolutionary_Party   (564 words)

Weekly Worker 451 Thursday October 10 2002 For example, it may be the case that revolutionaries may find it advisable to call for abstention from elections totally or they might find themselves in a position of calling upon their supporters to vote for a formation such as the SLP or Socialist Alliance due to their membership of such sects. Revolutionaries today must support the reformist workers’ parties, despite the lack of even the vaguest promise of working class reforms, in order that those organised workers who support those parties come to understand that the likes of Blair and Schröder are as much their enemies as Stoiber and whatsisname of the Tory Party. The response of revolutionary socialists at the time is instructive: they denounced the war and remained within the ranks of the SPD. www.cpgb.org.uk /worker/451/letters.html   (3993 words)

Socialist Revolutionaries The Socialist Revolutionaries were the most influential group in Russia up to 1917. During the era of the Provisional Government under Kerensky, the Socialist Revolutionaries tried to court a stronger relationship with Lenin and the Bolsheviks. After the March Revolution, the Socialist Revolutionaries never had so much power – and Lenin was not going to allow them the regain their old power. www.historylearningsite.co.uk /socialist_revolutionaries.htm   (451 words)

Socialist Revolutionaries on state power, October 1917 On the contrary, we want to link them with the socialist representation which will sit in the Constituent Assembly, so that the socialist parties, based on the authoritative organs of revolutionary democracy, will be able boldly and decisively implement their election platforms and promises. The revolutionary democracy has to attract tens of millions of men and women, who are only coming to political activity for the first time, to participate consciously in the elections. And, in objecting to holding the congress of Soviets on 20 October and proposing another date, such as 20 November, we are not attempting to render the revolutionary organs of democracy ineffectual. www.uea.ac.uk /his/webcours/russia/documents/sry-uch-sob.shtml   (768 words)

Petty-bourgeois and Proletarian Socialism To the Marxist, the peasant movement is a democratic, not a socialist, movement. Bernstein opposed revolutionary struggle by the working class and the dictatorship of the proletariat, preached collaboration of the proletariat and bourgeoisie, and brandished his notorious slogan, "the movement is everything, the final aim is nothing", substituting struggle for reforms within the framework of the bourgeois state for the revolutionary struggle for socialism. The entire history of Russian revolutionary thought during the last quarter of a century is the history of the struggle waged by Marxism against petty-bourgeois Narodnik [2] socialism. www.rcgfrfi.easynet.co.uk /ww/lenin/1905-pbs.htm   (3054 words)

Russia Civil War 1918-1920 Kolchak and his officers disliked the left-wing views of the politicians and found it difficult to distinguish between Socialist Revolutionaries and Communists, lumping together all "Reds" as enemies. Kolchak set up an administration in November at Irkutsk, but it was overthrown in December by Socialist Revolutionaries. The Menshevik and Socialist Revolutionary deputies were expelled from the central and local soviets and prevented from engaging in any organized political activity. www.onwar.com /aced/data/romeo/russia1918.htm   (1815 words)

Chapter 2. The Coming Storm. Reed, John. 1922. Ten Days That Shook the World The “centre” Socialist Revolutionaries, led by Tchernov, joined with the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, led by Kamkov and Spiridonova, the Mensheviki Internationalists under Martov, and the “centre” Mensheviki, 1 represented by Bogdanov and Skobeliev, in demanding a purely Socialist Government. Mensheviki and Socialist Revolutionaries, realising that they were defeated, suddenly changed their tactics and began to wire frantically to their provincial organisations to elect as many “moderate” Socialist delegates as possible. Between these two groups the Mensheviki and Socialist Revolutionaries wavered, irresistibly forced to the left by the pressure of the rising dissatisfaction of the masses. www.bonus.com /contour/bartlettqu/http@@/www.bartleby.com/79/2.html   (6571 words)

Mike Haynes: Was there a parliamentary alternative in Russia in 1917? (Part 3) The talks crumbled not because of an objection in principle to a socialist coalition on the part of the Bolshevik leadership but because the SRs and the Mensheviks were not prepared to negotiate a meaningful coalition and because, as they prevaricated, their own side was falling apart. The socialist equivalents of the SRs and the Mensheviks held out against revolution and assisted consciously or unconsciously in the process by which the crisis was diffused. The Socialist Revolutionary vote collapsed even more spectacularly from 360,000 to 55,000 – an absolute fall of almost 85 percent. www.marxists.de /russrev/haynes/parlalt3.htm   (6881 words)

Russia - Part II Part II he two Socialist groups are not only increasing the number of their adherents; they are also extending and improving their organisation, as is proved by the recent strikes, which are the work of the Social Democrats, and by the increasing rural disturbances and acts of terrorism, which are the work of the Socialist-Revolutionaries. As the representatives of the various subject-nationalities are endeavouring to combine, so likewise are the Liberals and the two Socialist groups trying to form a coalition, and for this purpose they have already held several conferences. If the Constitution, for example, were made as democratic as the Liberals and Socialists demand, the elections might possibly result in an overwhelming Conservative majority ready to re-establish the Autocratic Power! www.worldwideschool.org /library/books/hst/russian/Russia/chap63.html   (2249 words)

Who Knew?: One Year and Still Waiting... While socialist revolutionaries have become inured to recanting the horrific results of past revolutions, their cognitive dissonance is not shared by the masses. There is no explanation available to socialist revolutionaries for why this time they won't put millions more up against the wall, especially when so many of their fellows and supporters are screaming for this to happen. This is a concept that socialist revolutionaries throw away the instant they start to seek power; I am not sure that they have to, but I am sure that they have never reached power without doing so. www.whoknew.us /archives/000742one_year_and_still_waiting.php   (1568 words)

Ten Days that Shook the World by John Reed - The Peasants' Congress The traditional peasant party was the Socialist Revolutionary party; of all the parties now supporting the Soviet Government, the Left Socialist Revolutionaries were the logical inheritors of peasant leadership-and the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, who were at the mercy of the organised city proletariat, desperately needed the backing of the peasants.... The mistake of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries lies in the fact that at that time they did not oppose the policy of compromise, because they held the theory that the consciousness of the masses was not yet fully developed.... The Socialist political party-this is the vanguard of the working-class; it must not allow itself to be halted by the lack of education of the mass average, but it must lead the masses, using the Soviets as organs of revolutionary initiative.... www.globusz.com /ebooks/TenDays/00000024.htm   (4981 words)

The Myth of Lenin’s "Concept of The Party" Lenin is citing the most admired socialist party as his model. We, the representatives of revolutionary Social-Democracy, the supporters of the "Majority" [Bolsheviks], have repeatedly said that complete democratization of the Party was impossible in conditions of secret work, and that in such conditions the "elective principle" was a mere phrase. The second aspect of the professional revolutionary type, much emphasized by Lenin, was that such a worker could be trained in revolutionary work, in a more meaningful way; that is, given conscious education and courses in self-development on how to operate as a revolutionary. www.isf.org.uk /ISFJournal/ISF4/TheMythOfLeninsConceptOfTheParty.htm   (10868 words)

Glossary of Organisations: So The agrarian programme of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, called the "socialisation of the land", envisaged the abolition of private ownership of the land, which was to be transferred to the village commune on the basis of the labour principle and egalitarian tenure, and also the development of co-operatives. While failing to build an alternate Socialist International, it did bring together many of the forces that eventually built, in 1919 and under the auspices of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the 3rd, or Communist International. By 1895 the Socialist League had over 10,000 members, but declined after this and when the organisation disbanded in 1901 it was down to less than 6,000. www.marxists.org /glossary/orgs/s/o.htm   (3532 words)

Lenin: 1907/agrprogr: 7. The Socialist-Revolutionaries On the question of the Socialist-Revolutionaries’ economic theories, it is interesting to note the arguments of their Duma representatives about the influence of agrarian reforms upon the development of industry. Denmark, and unlike the peasants, who are strangers to all doctrine and directly express the sentiments of the oppressed person who just as directly idealises emancipation from the existing form of exploitation, the Socialist-Revolutionaries introduce into their speeches the doctrine of their own “socialism”. Unlike the Popular Socialists who, instead of the ideal of socialism, are inclined to paint the ideal of... www.marxists.org /archive/lenin/works/1907/agrprogr/ch05s7.htm   (1827 words)

Lenin: Extract from an Article Against the Socialist-Revolutionaries may be approached with such general revolutionary and socialist phrases (socialist, at first glance) which as far as possible would not be contradictory to any of the accepted and declared solutions of the peasant question. The fusion of socialism with the working-class movement (this sole guarantee of a strong and truly revolutionary movement) is no easy matter, and it is not surprising that it is attended by vacillation of every kind. The stormy period we are experiencing, with the struggle flaring up now here, now there, makes it possible, under cover of this struggle, to evade all and sundry questions of principle, limiting oneself to sympathetic support of all its manifestations and to the invention of “individual resistance” during a comparative lull. www.marxists.org /archive/lenin/works/1902/dec/00b.htm   (388 words)

Chapter V. This moving of the masses away from the moderate groups is largely due to the policy of a government composed of Socialists and bourgeoisie which led to a denial of the desires of the Russian masses–peace, land and control of industry. That the Bolsheviki are not Anarchists but Socialists with a political instead of an entirely economic programme is best demonstrated by the fact that they opposed the attempted irresponsible confiscation of property by the Anarchists with force of arms. There are other small Socialist groups in Russia–namely, the Mensheviki Internationalists, a branch of the Menshevik party; Iedinstvo, Plechanov's party, the extreme war party of the Mensheviki; Troudoviki or Populist Socialists, a semi-Socialist party; United Social Democrat Internationalists (Gorki's party), etc. digital.library.upenn.edu /women/bryant/russia/russia-V.html   (1276 words)

Weekly Worker 254 Thursday September 3 1998 Oh dear, no! They are ‘Socialist Revolutionaries’, both socialists and revolutionaries, to whom the patient and slow organising work of the Marxist social democrats was in the past something like anathema maranatha. Systems are social products independent of individuals, as Marxists always used to argue with the Socialist Revolutionaries (so-called), and the soviet system has come to stay, whatever happens to individuals, however great.

The Socialist Standard - Feb '98 Unfortunately when talking to revolutionaries, Socialist Party members are usually caught up in the debater's tricks that have so characterised any debate with anarchist revolutionaries, that is, to wilfully misunderstand what we are saying, and then accuse us of a whole list of things that we have never said or done. Of course all methods must be used to counter them-not excluding fraternisation, revolutionary propaganda aimed at them etc. But this leads to the dissolution of these forces not their control by some benign Socialist Party administered State.

About the Authors Because of all this, the Provisional Revolutionary Committee likely believed that the Right Socialist Revolutionaries had neither the desire nor the ability to continue their political line of 1917, and were less of a threat to Kronstadt's goals than the Communists. The Socialist Revolutionaries were eager to greet the Kronstadters as fellow opponents of the Communists, and as plain laboring people, many of whose actions and written and oral statements supported Volia Rossii's positions. However, Petrichenko and the Provisional Revolutionary Committee must also then be discussed separately, to analyze their possible role as supporters of one or another of the non-maximalist branches of the Socialist Revolutionary Party. www-personal.umich.edu /~mhuey/TOC/TOC.Authors.html   (5425 words)

The Dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (1918) The October Revolution, by giving power to the Soviets, and through the Soviets to the working and exploited classes, aroused the desperate resistance of the exploiters, and in the crushing of this resistance it fully revealed itself as the beginning of the socialist revolution. To relinquish the sovereign power of the Soviets, to relinquish the Soviet Republic won by the people, for the sake of the bourgeois parliamentary system and the Constituent Assembly, would now be a step backwards and would cause the collapse of the October workers' and peasants' revolution. The Constituent Assembly, therefore, which was to have crowned the bourgeois parliamentary republic, was bound to become an obstacle in the path of the October Revolution and Soviet power. www.historyguide.org /europe/decree1918.html   (495 words)

[No title] The first movement to sense that the time was ripe for change was militant left wing organisation The Glorious Path of the 12th of April Socialist Revolutionaries. Extremely militant and backed by the well funded Revolutionary Socialist Front of Rathgormack, the youth movements' rallies soon aroused the ire of the authorities, and were driven underground. Whilst local politics in Tramore are generally a fairly mundane affair, this was certainly not always the case, as those old enough to remember the fierce power struggles of the early Seventies would doubtless confirm. members.lycos.co.uk /DannyMcNeive/streetfighting.htm   (361 words)

THE BOLSHEVIKS MUST ASSUME POWER At that time the bulk of the people had not yet realised the significance of the socialist revolution, a fact which the Right Socialist-Revolutionaries used to win a majority of votes in the gubernias and regions remote from the capital and the industrial centres. The elections were held on that day, after the victory of the October Socialist Revolution, but on the lists drawn up before the revolution and in accordance with the Provisional Government's regulations. They can because the active majority of revolutionary elements in the two chief cities is large enough to carry the people with it, to overcome the opponent's resistance, to smash him and to gain and retain power. www.rcgfrfi.easynet.co.uk /ww/lenin/1917-map.htm   (1321 words)

Events that shook the world The soviets at this stage were dominated by the reformist Mensheviks, a party similar to the ALP, and the Socialist Revolutionaries, a peasant party. The list of candidates for the Socialist Revolutionaries were drawn up before the party split, with a new party called the Left Socialist Revolutionaries forming.
