Union Of Communist Groups
The Union of Communist Groups ( cs, Svaz komunistických skupin) was a communist organization in Czechoslovakia, led by Stanislav Kostka Neumann.

Neumann's publication ''Červen'' had carried pro-communist articles since 1919. Neumann and other anarchists around ''Červen'' had tried to work within the Czechoslovak Socialist Party, but felt disillusioned with the party after the 1920 Czechoslovak parliamentary election. With the founding of the Union of Communist Groups ''Červen'' issued a declaration denouncing any collaboration with the Czechoslovak Socialist Party. A workers conference was organized in Lom May 23–24, 1920 at which Neumann declared the objective of the new organization to be in line with the Communist International (Comintern), and called for the formation of workers, peasants and soldiers' soviets.

Czechoslovak Socialist Party
Czech National Social Party (Czech: ''Česká strana národně sociální'', ČSNS) is a civic nationalist political party in the Czech Republic, that once played an important role in Czechoslovakia during the interwar period. It was established in 1897 by break-away groups from both the national liberal Young Czech Party and the Czech Social Democratic Party, with a stress on achieving independence of the Czech lands from Austria-Hungary (as opposed to the Social Democrats' aim for an international workers' revolution). Its variant of socialism was moderate and reformist rather than a Marxist one. After the National Labour Party dissolved and merged with National Socialists in 1930, the party also became the refuge for Czech liberals. Its best-known member was Edvard Beneš, a co-founder of Czechoslovakia and the country's second President during the 1930s and 1940s. Despite the similar name, the Czech "National Socialists" were not affiliated with Nazism or the German Nazi Pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
