The Spanish flu was a global health crisis of enormous extent and consequences. This disease hit Saxony at a time of social, economic and political challenges. It spread rapidly while World War I was coming to its end and the radical political change in the country was beginning. How did this crisis affect the political reorganisation in the country? What is its significance in the context of the political unrest and the extreme social deficiencies after the World War? Did the flu sound the death knell of the monarchy?

The contribution focuses on the dictatorship of the proletariat which Lenin exploited as a legitimacy resource, in particular on the concept of the “avant-garde”-party, the aspect of minority dictatorship and the specifi c role of violence. Lenin's attempt to integrate the “peasant factor” into his concept of a dictatorship is also discussed in detail. Soon it was clear that Lenin wanted to establish this dictatorship by help of the Party, the Councils and, most of all, the executive, and that he was out for radical change. Already in the course of the fi rst year after having established his rule (1917/18) it became obvious that this new dictatorship leaned primarily onto the Party, the executive and special state institutions, however hardly onto the Councils which served only as a façade. All promises of a new state with reduced bureaucracy proved to be empty promises.

In October 1935, the German paper “Sozialistische Aktion” (“Socialist Action”) published an anonymous text about the recently held Party Conference of the NSDAP in Nuremberg. The text was entitled “Party Conference of Totality” and was written by the later widely known political scientist Richard Löwenthal. Löwenthal wanted to mobilize the German opponents of Hitler by making a case against the dictatorship. Analyzing the situation, he warned about the totalitarian and racist tendencies of the regime and its preparations for a “total war”.

Abstract / Volltext

Im Oktober 1944 erklärte der KPD-Vorsitzende Wilhelm Pieck im Moskauer Exil, die kommunistische Partei müsse nach ihrer Wiedergründung im besetzten Deutschland "ähnliche Einrichtungen" etablieren, wie sie die "Nazipartei auf ihren Ordensburgen für reaktionäre Zwecke geschaffen hat". Versuchte sich die KPD tatsächlich an der Parteischulung und Kaderpolitik der NSDAP zu orientieren oder verfolgte sie nicht doch eigene originäre Wege der Herrschaftssicherung? Der Beitrag analysiert und vergleicht vor dem Hintergrund von Piecks Auslassungen beide Kaderschulungssysteme und deren unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Reichweite.

In October 1944, Wilhelm Pieck, chairman of the^Communist Party of Germany (KPD), declared while in exile in Moscow, the Communist Party should establish “similar facilities” to the Nazis in occupied Germany just as the “Nazi party had created it’s Ordensburg for reactionary purposes.” Did the KPD indeed attempt to orient itself according to the party cadre training and cadre policy of the NSDAP, or did it instead pursue it’s own and original paths to securing power? Against the background of Pieck’s statements, the article analyzes and compares both party cadre training systems and their social ranges.
