Struve is firmly convinced that this slogan is “incomprehensible and foreign to the masses of the people” (he forgets to add: comprehensible, but not of advantage to the bourgeoisie!).
Struve condemns the slogans: “secrecy” and “rioting” (a riot being “an insurrection in miniature”).
Struve cannot fail to understand this difference: he does not, for instance, obscure the question of the necessity of universal suffrage—which is indisputable for a democrat—by raising the question of whether its attainment is inevitable in the course of the present revolution—which is debatable and of no urgency for people engaged in political activity.

 Struve, Gustav (1805-1870)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Despite Gustav Struve's prominence in histories of the German revolutions of 1848-49 as one of the main military and political leaders of the three uprisings in Baden, and as one of Germany's most renowned radical liberal activists of the pre-revolutionary decade, his ideas about Jewish-Christian relations have never been discussed by historians.
Struve was one of very few non-Jews who saw that political equality for Jews, while crucial, would be inadequate to bring an end to anti-Jewish attitudes.
The ambiguities of Struve's views thus point to a larger fundamental contradiction within the Enlightenment project as it was carried forth into the nineteenth century--a persistent difficulty in coming to terms with difference, an almost irresolvable vacillation between tolerance and intolerance.
