Davon erf\u00e4hrst du in der Schule nichts und in den Medien siehst du es auch nicht, aber es zerst\u00f6rt das Stereotyp des konservativen britischen Arbeiters, der dem Klassenkampf abgeneigt ist. Ben Gliniecki, ein f\u00fchrendes Mitglied der RCP in Gro\u00dfbritannien, wird diese inspirierende Geschichte aufdecken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vor einem Jahrhundert, im Jahr 1926, legte die britische Arbeiterklasse einen Generalstreik auf, der revolution\u00e4re Ausma\u00dfe annahm und die Grundfesten der kapitalistischen Gesellschaft bedrohte.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Es war das Produkt der ver\u00e4nderten Stellung des britischen Imperialismus in der Welt und bewies in der Praxis die Macht der Arbeiterklasse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Es deckte die nackte Gewalt des \u2018demokratischen\u2019 britischen Staates, die Beziehung zwischen britischen Arbeitern und ihren Gewerkschaften und den Verrat der sogenannten F\u00fchrer der britischen Arbeiterklasse auf, die den Streik zum Scheitern brachten.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die junge Kommunistische Partei Gro\u00dfbritanniens versuchte, sich mit dem Streik zu verbinden, wurde aber von Sinowjew und Stalin in Moskau fehlgeleitet und desorientiert, deren b\u00fcrokratische Methoden sp\u00e4ter die Kommunistische Internationale zerst\u00f6ren w\u00fcrden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Geschichte des britischen Generalstreiks inspiriert uns. Aber mehr noch lehrt sie uns wichtige Lektionen \u00fcber den Klassenkampf, den wir heute f\u00fchren \u2013 diesmal zum Sieg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leseliste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B\u00fccher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ben Gliniecki \u2013 \u201cEine kommunistische Geschichte des britischen Generalstreiks\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/wellredbooks.co.uk\/product\/a-communist-history-of-the-british-general-strike\/\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leo Trotzki \u2013 \u201cWohin steuert England?\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/trotsky\/britain\/wibg\/index.htm\">Englisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalang\/ouvlan00.htm\">Franz\u00f6sisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rob Sewell \u2013 \u201cIm Dienste der Arbeit: Eine Geschichte der britischen Gewerkschaftsbewegung (Kapitel 13: Neun Tage, die die Welt ersch\u00fctterten)\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/marxist.com\/cause-labour-history-british-trade-unionism\/nine-days-that-shook-the-world.htm\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artikel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>James Kilby \u2013 \u201c90 Jahre seit dem Generalstreik: Die Lektionen f\u00fcr heute\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/communist.red\/90-years-since-the-general-strike-the-lessons-for-today\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ben Gliniecki \u2013 \u201cGro\u00dfbritannien: Kommunisten, Gewerkschaften und das Anglo-Russische Komitee\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/marxist.com\/communists-trade-unions-and-the-anglo-russian-committee.htm\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leo Trotzki \u2013 \u201cSchriften \u00fcber Gro\u00dfbritannien\u201d (Notizen zur Lage in Gro\u00dfbritannien 1925-1926) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/trotsky\/works\/britain\/ch12.htm\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Podcasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gespenst des Kommunismus \u2013 \u201cDer Generalstreik von 1926: Gro\u00dfbritanniens verratene Revolution\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hlFVaXSHbvE\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ben Gliniecki \u2013 \u201cDer britische Generalstreik: Eine kommunistische Geschichte\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hS8MdF6wYDQ\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a hidden chapter in the history of the British working class.
