in-law Lafargue, set all his authority and eloquence and finally
succeeded in having all doors remain open to the "intellectuals".
The consequences of this occurrence can by no means be
overestimated. If the earlier resolution had been accepted, the
economic programme would have been a clear one; exceptions for
non-manual workers who served the interests ofworkers would not
have altered the foundation.
But in this way soon intriguers of all sorts soon lodged
themselves in the workers' movement who, with excellent demagogy,
knew how to use the working masses as a spring-board for personal

short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic (1918-1919) after the assassination of the
Jewish Minister-President Kurt Eisner in February 1919. But the Communist
Republic that Levine sought to lead was itself broken up by the German Army and
