Otto Bauer, the main political leader of the Austrian Social Democratic Workers Party, had a far-reaching impact on the socialist movement across Europe. From his theories of imperialism and the national question, to his day-to-day practical work building a mass organization, Bauers contributions shaped the First and Second Internationals. This critical biography examines his ideas and their legacy.
Let us for a moment go back to the history of the 1960s and 1970s leftist social movement. Those years revealed a profound crisis of ideological and political values a crisis that deeply affected the exponents of West European radical Social-Democratic groups, liberalising Eurocommunist factions of the Communist movement, and European and American leftist intellectuals.
