EXCERPTS FROM A NEWSPAPER

To these Lefts belonged "Rosa Luxemburg, Pannekoek, Thalheimer, Zetkin and others"....
..."The Left Radicals waged a sharp struggle against the remnants of the ideology of the foreign policy of English Manchesterism" (in Ledebour and K. Kautsky, also Eckstein)....
What the Left Radicals and the social-imperialists have in common is that "the world has entered the imperialist epoch"....
..."Whereas for the Left Radicals even the militia was not a means which, in the epoch of imperialism, eliminates its expansionist tendencies; whereas they advocated the militia only in the hope that in it the anti-imperialist tendencies of the popular masses would reach maturity, the social-imperialists use every pretext provided by this war in favour of the militia, but which can be realised only in contradiction to the military policy they uphold, as a bait for the militarisation of social-democracy."
