	League of Nations
		The constitution of the League of Nations was adopted by the Paris Peace Conference in April, 1919.
		We went to the League building, which is a vast affair, a huge modern, white, dignified, lavish, empty palace, as befits the meeting place of 47 nations.
		The bars and lobbies of the League's building are full of Russians and Jews who intrigue with and dominate the press, and spend their time spreading rumours of approaching war, but I don't believe them, not with Neville (Chamberlain) at the helm.

	What Does the Spartacus League Want?
		In their hatred and defamation of the Spartacus League, all the counter-revolutionaries, all enemies of the people, all the antisocialist, ambiguous, obscure, and unclear elements are united.
		The Spartacus League is only the most conscious, purposeful part of the proletariat, which points the entire broad mass of the working class toward its historical tasks at every step, which represents in each particular stage of the Revolution the ultimate socialist goal, and in all national questions the interests of the proletarian world revolution.
		The Spartacus League refuses to participate in governmental power with the lackeys of the bourgeoisie, with the Scheidemann-Eberts, because it sees in such collaboration a betrayal of the fundamentals of socialism, a strengthening of the counter-revolution, and a weakening of the Revolution.

	Howard Fast: Spartacus (pre-publication excerpt)
		Spartacus looks at it; the others look at it, and the whole line halts its plodding, painful motion, and the camels with their burden of water and wheat also hair, even as do the overseers with their whips and their pikes.
		Spartacus stares at them and seeks for his own kind, his own race, the humankind, which is race and kind when a man is a slave.
		Spartacus takes his cup and bowl with him; if he had forgotten it, there would have been no food or drink for him this day; but he is wise in the ways of slavery, and there is not such great variation in the manner of slaver that he should not anticipate.

		As revolutionary internationalists, the Spartacist League called for the military defense of Iraq against the U.S. invasion and for class struggle against the U.S. capitalist rulers.

		We suppose a good argument could have been made for the view that Spartacus, the leader of the famous slave insurrection in ancient times, should not have attempted to march on Rome in his struggle to liberate the legions of slaves under Roman subjugation.
		They should be sharply demarcated from the arguments and debates in the Roman senate concerning Spartacus, who was as much demonized, hated and vilified in his time as Saddam Hussein is today.
		Spartacus fought a war of liberation against slavery.
