La contribution des Hébreux à l'histoire du parti socialisteouvrier de Grèce (1918-1924)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the contribution of the Jewish socialists of Saloniki,
organised in the Socialist-Labour Federation (FOS), to the history of the
Socialist-Labour Party of Greece (SEKE). The FOS — a social democratic
organisation, influenced by the pre-war 2nd International — participated in
the founding Congress of the SEKE (1918), and greatly determined its political
identity. After the period of the “Red Years” (1919-1921), when the Jewish
socialists, like the rest of the party members, split into partisans and opponents
of the affiliation to the Communist International (C.I.), they unanimously
supported a relative political independence of the party from the C.I. and a
social-democratic policy. However new party cadres finally succeded, with
the active assistance of the C.I. and through a hard war of factions, to
enforce a bolshevik ideology and leadership and to rename the party to Communist
Party of Greece in its 3rd Extraordinary Congress (1924).
