1876 CE to 1887 CE

The Marxist SPD, founded in Gotha in 1875, is a fusion of Ferdinand Lassalle's General German Workers' Association (formed in 1863), which advocated state socialism, and the Social Democratic Labor Party (formed in 1869), headed by August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht, which aspired to establish a classless communist society.

The SPD advocates a mix-ture of revolution and quiet work within the parliamentary
system.

The clearest statement of this impossible combination will be the Erfurt Program of 1891.

The former method frightens nearly all Germans to the party's right, while the latter wil build the SPD into the largest party in the Reichstag after the elections of 1912.
