‎WEITLING WILHELM. THE FIRST REAL BIBLE OF COMMUNISM‎

‎Garantien der Harmonie und Freiheit.‎

‎Vivis 1842. 8vo. Contemporary modest half cloth with marbled paper over boards. Wear to extremities. Old owner's name to title-page. Occasional brownspotting. XII 2 264 pp. � Rare first edition of one of the greatest works of communism Weitling's extremely influential main work which came to be known as "the debut of the German workers" Marx. Published a full six years before "The Communist Manifesto" Weitling's "Guarantees of Harmony and Freedom" arguably constitutes the foundational work of Communism and it is not by chance that Engels names Weitling "The founder of German Communism" Engels 1975 1843 p. 402 and Marx characterizes this work as the "brilliant debut of the German workers" and the "gigantic first steps of the proletariat". <br><br>Considered the first real Communist Weitling was a communist before both Marx and Engels. He was the founder of the League of the Just Bund der Gerechten - really the first international communist organisation with branches in Germany France Switzerland Hungary and Scandinavia that Marx and Engels joined and turned into the Communist League and signatory to early statements by the executive of the First International. <br>Having been so admired by Marx and Engels after the publication of the present magnum opus he later fell out with them after a struggle in 1846-47 over the party programme for the League of the Just which he had co-founded. Marx of course won the struggle and the Communist Manifesto as written - not a party programme dictating direct and violent overthrow of the state and the immediate establishment of communism.<br><br>"The League of the Just after the debacle of May 1839 ceased to exist as a central organisation. At any rate no traces of its existence or its activity as a central organisation are found after 1840. There remained only independent circles organised by ex-members of the League. One of these circles was organised in London. <br><br>Other members of the League of the Just fled to Switzerland the most influential among them being Wilhelm Weitling 1809-1864. A tailor by trade one of the first German revolutionists from among the artisan proletariat Weitling like many other German artisans of the time peregrinated from town to town. In 1835 he found himself in Paris but it was in 1837 that he settled there for long. In Paris he became a member of the League of the Just and familiarized himself with the teachings of Hugues Lamennais the protagonist of Christian socialism of Saint-Simon and Fourier. There he also met Blanqui and his followers.<br><br>In Switzerland Weitling and some friends after an unsuccessful attempt to propagandise the Swiss began to organise circles among the German workers and the emigrants. In 1842 he published his chief work "Guarantees of Harmony and Freedom".<br><br>Influenced by Blanqui Weitling's ideas differed from those of other contemporary utopians in that he did not believe in a peaceful transition into communism. The new society a very detailed plan of which was worked out by him could only be realised through the use of force. The sooner existing society is abolished the sooner will the people be freed. The best method is to bring the existing social disorder to the last extreme. The worse the better! The most trustworthy revolutionary element which could be relied upon to wreck present society was according to Weitling the lowest grade proletariat the "lumpenproletariat" including even the robbers. <br><br>It was in Switzerland too that Michael Bakunin 1811-1876 met Weitling and absorbed some of his ideas. Owing to the arrest and the judicial prosecution started against Weitling and his followers Bakunin was compromised and forever became an exile from his own country. <br><br>After a term in prison Weitling was extradited to Germany in 1841. Following a period of wandering he finally landed in London where his arrival was joyously celebrated. <br><br>A large mass meeting was arranged in his honour. English socialists and Chartists as well as German and French emigrants participated. This was the first great international meeting in London. It suggested to Schapper the idea of organising in October 1844 an international society The Society of Democratic Friends of all Nations. The aim was the rapprochement of the revolutionists of all nationalities the strengthening of a feeling of brotherhood among peoples and the conquest of social and political rights At the head of this enterprise were Schapper and his friends. <br><br>Weitling stayed in London for about a year and a half. In the labour circles where all kinds of topics dealing with current events were being passionately discussed Weitling had at first exerted a great influence. But he soon came upon strong opposition. His old comrades Schapper Heinrich Bauer and Joseph Moll 1811-1819 had during their much longer stay in London learned all about the English labour movement and the teachings of Owen. <br>According to Weitling the proletariat was not a separate class with distinct class interests; the proletariat was only a portion of the indigent oppressed section of the population. Among these poor the "Iumpenproletariat" was the most revolutionary element. He was still trumpeting his idea that robbers and bandits were the most reliable elements in the war against the existing order. He did not attach much weight to propaganda. He visualised the future in the form of a communist society directed by a small group of wise men. To attract the masses he deemed it indispensable to resort to the aid of religion. He made Christ the forerunner of communism picturing communism as Christianity minus its later accretions. <br>.<br> In 1844 Weitling was one of the most popular and renowned men not only among German workers but also among the German intelligentsia.<br><br>To him i.e. Marx Weitling was a very gifted expression of the aspirations of that very proletariat the historic mission of which he himself was then formulating. Here is what he wrote of Weitling before he met him: <br> <br>"Where can the bourgeoisie its philosophers and literati included boast of work dealing with the political emancipation comparable with Weitling's "Guarantees of Harmony and Freedom" If one compares the dry and timid mediocrity of German political literature with this fiery and brilliant debut of the German workers if one compares these halting but gigantic first steps of the proletariat with the mincing gait of the full-grown German bourgeoisie one cannot help predicting that the proletarian Cinderella will develop into a prodigy of strength." <br> <br>It was quite natural that Marx and Engels should seek to make the acquaintance of Weitling. We know that the two friends during their short sojourn in London in 1845 became acquainted with the English Chartists and with the German emigrants. Though Weitling was still in London at that time we are not certain that Marx and Engels met him. They entered into close relations in 1846 when Weitling came to Brussels where Marx too had settled in 1845 after he had been driven out of France.<br><br>As Weitling kept arguing for a direct and violent overthrow of the state and the immediate establishment of communism based on the model of the first Christians in the New Testament Marx came to directly disagree with him arguing that what was needed first was the full development of capitalism and bourgeois democracy before communism could take root. By June of 1847 the newly named Communist League endorsed Marx's programme not Weitling's revolutionary ideas and a year later "The Manifesto of the Communist Party". By that time Weitling had immigrated to the USA. hardcover‎

‎MARX KARL. FIRST TRANSLATION INTO ANY LANGUAGE OF "THE BIBLE OF MARXISM" WITH A MOST INTERESTING PROVENANCE‎

‎Kapital. Kritika politicheskoj ekonomii. Perevod c nmetskago. Tom pervoej. Kniga I. Protschess proizvodstva Kapitala. Russian = The Capital. Critique of the Political Economy. Translated from German. Volume One. Book I all.‎

‎S.-Peterburg N.I. Poliakov 1872. Large 8vo. Nice contemporary Russian diced half calf binding with gilt title to spine. Previous owner's name "Stanislav Strumilin" famous Soviet economist. Occasional light marginal underlinings in pencil throughout. An unusally nice copy. 2 XIII 3 678 pp. � First Russian edition first issue with the issue-pointers being the first translation into any language of Marx' immensely influential main work probably the greatest revolutionary work of the nineteenth century.<br><br>The present copy has a most interesting provenance namely that of Stanislav Strumilin 1877-1974. He played a leading role in the analysis of the planned economy of the Soviet type including modeling development of the five year plans and calculation of national income. His particular contributions include the "Strumilin index" a measure of labor productivity and the "norm coefficient" relating to analysis of investment activity. In the sixties he gained an international reputation in the field of the economics of education following the publication of "The economics of education in the USSR" by UNESCO.<br><br>Marx' groundbreaking "Das Kapital" originally appeared in German in 1867 and only the first part of the work appeared in Marx' lifetime. The very first foreign translation of the work was that into Russian which considering Russian censorship at the time would seem a very unlikely event. But as it happened "Das Kapital" actually came to enjoy greater renown in Russia than in any other country; for many varying reasons it won a warm reception in many political quarters in Russia and it enjoyed a totally unexpected rapid and widespread success. <br><br>The first Russian translation of "Das Kapital" came to have a profound influence the economic development of of Russia. It was frequently quoted in the most important economic and political discussions on how to industrialize Russia and the essential points of the work were seen by many as the essential questions for an industrializing Russia. " "Das Kapital" arrived in Russia just at the moment that the Russian economy was recovering from the slump that followed Emancipation and was beginning to assume capitalist characteristics. Industrialization raised in the minds of the intelligentsia the question of their country's economic destiny. And it was precisely this concern that drew Mikhailovsky and many of the "intelligenty" to "Das Kapital"." Resis p. 232.<br><br>The story of how the first printing of the first translation of "Das Kapital" came about is quite unexpected. As the "triumph of Marxism in backward Russia is commonly regarded as a historical anomaly" Resis p. 221 so is the triumph of the first Russian edition of "Das Kapital". <br><br>The main credit for the coming to be of the translation of "Das Kapital" must be given to Nicolai Danielson later a highly important economist in his own right. The idea came from a circle of revolutionary youths in St. Petersburg including N.F. Danielson G.A. Lopatin M.F. Negreskul and N.N. Liubavin all four of whom participated in the project. Danielson had read the work shortly after its publication and it had made such an impact on him that he decided to make it available to the Russian reading public. He persuaded N.I. Poliakov to run the risk of publishing it. "Poliakov the publisher specialized in publishing authors Russian and foreign considered dangerous by the authorities. Poliakov also frequently subsidized revolutionaries by commissioning them to do translations for his publishing house. Diffusion of advanced ideas rather than profit was no doubt his primary motive in publishing the book." Resis p. 222. Owing to Danielson's initiative Poliakov engaged first Bakunin and then Lopatin to do the translation. Danielson himself finished the translation and saw the work through press. It was undeniably his leadership that brought Marx to the Russian reading public. In fact with the first Russian edition of "Das Kapital" Danielson was responsible for the first public success of the revolutionizing work. <br><br>"Few scholars today would deny that "Das Kapital" has had an enormous effect on history in the past hundred years. Nonetheless when the book was published in Hamburg on September 5 1867 it made scarcely a stir except among German revolutionaries. Marx complained that his work was greeted by "a conspiracy of silence" on the part of "a pack of liberals and vulgar economists." However desperately he contrived to provoke established economists to take up "Das Kapital"'s challenge to their work his efforts came to nought. But in October 1868 Marx received good news from an unexpected source. From Nikolai Frantsevich Danielson a young economist employed by the St. Petersburg Mutual Credit Society came a letter informing Marx that N. P. Poliakov a publisher of that city desired to publish a Russian translation of the first volume of "Das Kapital"; moreover he also wanted to publish the forthcoming second volume. Danielson the publisher's representative requested that Marx send him the proofs of volume 2 as they came off the press so that Poliakov could publish both volumes simultaneously. Marx replied immediately. The publication of a Russian edition of volume 1 he wrote should not be held up because the completion of volume 2 might be delayed by some six months in fact it did not appear in Marx' life-time and was only published ab. 17 years later in 1885; and in any case volume 1 represented an independent whole. Danielson proceeded at once to set the project in motion. Nearly four years passed however before a Russian translation appeared. Indeed a year passed before the translation was even begun and four translators tried their hand at it before Danielson was able to send the manuscript to the printers in late December 1871." Resis pp. 221-22. <br><br>This explains how the book came to be translated but how did this main work of revolutionary thought escape the rigid Russian censors <br><br>"By an odd quirk of history the first foreign translation of "Das Kapital" to appear was the Russian which Petersburgers found in their bookshops early in April 1872. Giving his imprimatur the censor one Skuratov had written "few people in Russia will read it and still fewer will understand it." He was wrong: the edition of three thousand sold out quickly; and in 1880 Marx was writing to his friend F.A. Sorge that "our success is still greater in Russia where "Kapital" is read and appreciated more than anywhere else." PMM 359 p.218. <br><br>Astonishingly Within six weeks of the publication date nine hundred copies of the edition of three thousand had already been sold.<br><br>"Under the new laws on the press "Das Kapital" could have been proscribed on any number of grounds. The Temporary Rules held for example that censorship must not permit publication of works that "expound the harmful doctrines of socialism or communism" or works that "rouse enmity and hatred of one class for another." The Board of Censors of Foreign Publications was specifically instructed to prohibit importation of works contrary to the tenets of the Orthodox Church or works that led to atheism materialism or disrespect for Scriptures. Nor did the recent fate of the works of Marx and Engels at the hands of the censors offer much hope that "Das Kapital" would pass censorship. As recently as August 11 the censors of foreign works had decided to ban importation of Engels' "Die Lage der arbeitenden Klassen in England" and according to Lopatin the censors reprimanded Poliakov for daring to run announcements on book jackets of the forthcoming publication of "Das Kapital". By 1872 the censors had prohibited the importation and circulation of all works by Marx and Engels except one - "Das Kapital". The book as we shall see had already won some recognition in Russia shortly after its publication in Germany. Not until 1871 however did the censors render a judgment on the book when the Central Committee of Censors of Foreign Publications on the recommendation of its reader permitted importation and circulation of the book both in the original language and in translation. The official reader had described the book as "a difficult inaccessible strictly scientific work" implying that it could scarcely pose a danger to the state. . The length and complexity of the book prompted the office to divide the task of scrutinizing it between two readers D. Skuratov who read the first half of the book and A. De-Roberti who read the last half. Skuratov dutifully listed objectionable socialist and antireligious passages taking special note of Marx's harsh attack on the land reforms General Kiselev had instituted in the Danubian Principalities. But in his report Skuratov dismissed these attacks as harmless since they were imbedded in a "colossal mass of abstruse somewhat obscure politico-economic argumentation." Indeed he regarded the work as its own best antidote to sedition. "It can be confidently stated" he wrote "that in Russia few will read it and even fewer will understand it." Second he said the book could do little harm. Since the book attacked a system rather than individual persons Skuratov implied that the book would not incite acts threatening the safety of the royal family and government officials. Third he believed that the argument of the book did not apply to Russia. Marx attacked the unbridled competition practiced in the British factory system and such attacks Skuratov asserted could find no target in Russia because the tsarist regime did not pursue a policy of laissez faire. Indeed at that very moment Skuratov stated a special commission had drafted a plan that "as zealously protects the workers' well-being from abuses on the part of the employers as it protects the employers' interests against lack of discipline and nonfulfillment of obligations on the part of the workers." Repeating most of Skuratov's views De-Roberti also noted that the book contained a good account of the impact of the factory system and the system of unpaid labor time that prevailed in the West. In spite of the obvious socialist tendency of the book he concluded a court case could scarcely be made against it because the censors of foreign works had already agreed to permit importation and circulation of the German edition. With the last barrier removed on March 27 1872 the Russian translation of "Das Kapital" went on sale in the Russian Empire. The publisher translators and advocates of the book had persevered in the project for nearly four years until they were finally able to bring the book to the Russian reading public." Resis pp. 220-22. <br><br>The Russian authorities quickly realized however that Skuratov's statement could not have been more wrong and the planned second edition of the Russian translation was forbidden; thus it came to be published in New York in 1890. That second edition is nearly identical to the first which can be distinguished by the misplaced comma opposite "p. 73" in the table of contents replaced by a full stop in the 2nd ed. and the "e" at the end of l. 40 on p. 65 replaced by a "c" in the 2nd ed. A third edition translated from the fourth German edition appeared in 1898. Volumes 2 and 3 of "Das Kapital" appeared in Russian translation also by Danielson in 1885 and 1896.<br><br>See: Albert Resis Das Kapital Comes to Russia in: Slavic Review Vol. 29 No. 2 Jun. 1970 pp. 219-237. unknown‎
