He had been writing for the association's newspaper Der Sozial-Demokrat (" the Social Democrat ") but now, in disagreement with the paper's Prussia-friendly position, he left, first forming the Saxon People's Party along with August Bebel, and then in 1869 becoming a co-founder of the Social Democratic Workers ' Party ( Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei, SDAP ) in Eisenach as a branch of the International Workingmen's Association.

In 1911 he became along with August Bebel an SPD chairman, in 1912 next to Philipp Scheidemann an SPD chairman in the Reichstag.

His Critique of the Gotha Programme opposed the tendency of his followers Wilhelm Liebknecht and August Bebel to compromise with the state socialism of Ferdinand Lassalle in the interests of a united socialist party.

Bismarck was pressed by Social Democratic representative August Bebel in the Reichstag during September 1878 to provide details about his relationship with the by then long-deceased Lassalle, prompting the Chancellor to make an extended statement:

I recall that I vehemently objected to August Bebel, who was indignant over these suicides, that if one could argue against the age at which the Lafargues chose to die-for here we were dealing not with the number of years, but with the possible usefulness of a political figure-then one could by no means argue against the very principle of a political figure departing from this life at the moment when he felt that he would no longer bring any benefit to the cause to which he had devoted himself.

August Bebel of the Social Democrats argued that there existed a number of deputies who were Anglophobes and wished to pick a fight with England, but that to imagine such a fleet could take on the Royal Navy was insanity and anyone saying it belonged in the madhouse.

In 1534 the first printed version of the work appeared, a folio with decorations from John Bebel ’ s press in Basle.

Consequently, together with August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht, Bernstein prepared the Einigungsparteitag (" unification party congress ") with the Lassalleans in Gotha in 1875.

Bebel and Liebknecht were the only members who did not vote the extraordinary subsidy required for the war with France.

Bebel was the only socialist who was elected to the Reichstag in 1871, and he used his position to protest against the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine and to express his full sympathy with the Paris Commune.

Falsely accused of being in league with the French and part of a conspiracy to free French prisoners of war held in Germany and to lead them in an attack from the rear, Bebel and Liebknecht were arrested for high treason, but no prosecution was possible for lack of evidence.

His efforts in this matter had received great encouragement when Albert of Saxony issued an edict dealing with the maltreatment of soldiers in the Saxon contingent, thus cutting the ground from under the feet of the Imperial Government, which had persistently attempted to deny or to explain away the cases put forward by Bebel.

Bebel was not deterred, he later followed this up with strongly worded warnings against the rising tide of theories of racial hierarchy and racial purity, causing the general election to the German Reichstag in 1907 to go over in history as the ‘ Hottentot Election .’

The book contained an attack on the institution of marriage which identified Bebel with the most extreme forms of socialism.

The well-known saying " Anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools " (" Der Antisemitismus ist der Sozialismus der dummen Kerle ") is frequently attributed to Bebel, but probably originated with the Austrian democrat Ferdinand Kronawetter ; it was in general use among German Social Democrats by the 1890s.

After being evicted from Berlin by government authorities, Liebknecht moved to Leipzig, where he met August Bebel, with whom he founded the Sächsische Volkspartei (" Saxon People's Party ") in 1867 and the SDAP ( Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands, in 1869 in Eisenach.

As a result, he and Bebel were arrested and charged with high treason.

In the first days of August, the editors believed themselves to be in line with the late August Bebel who had died the previous year.

son of the German immigrant and reported illegitimate Hohenzollern offspring Louis Sylvester Viereck ( a Social Democrat famous for sharing a prison cell with August Bebel ), who was a member of the same Berlin student corps ( fraternity ) as Ewers.

He refused to identify social democracy with the extreme views as to religion and the family advocated by August Bebel, and successfully resisted attempts made in 1891 to expel him from the party in consequence of his opinions.

The General German Workers ' Association (, ADAV ) was founded on 23 May 1863 in Leipzig, Kingdom of Saxony by Ferdinand Lassalle and existed under this name until 1875, when it combined with August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht's SDAP to form the Socialist Workers ' Party of Germany, which was renamed shortly thereafter the Social Democratic Party of Germany ( SPD ).

A fourth relief portrays a person whose identity has not been clearly established, and has been identified as Wilhelm Liebknecht, Karl Liebknecht, or August Bebel.

The book was in sharp contrast to the positions of August Bebel, Karl Kautsky and Wilhelm Liebknecht.

Although initially an opponent of socialism, Bebel gradually was won over to socialist ideas through reading the pamphlets of Ferdinand Lassalle, which popularized the ideas of Karl Marx.

Bebel and Liebknecht were influenced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and considered their party " a section of the International Workingmen's Association ", sharing its aspirations.

Formulated under the political guidance of Eduard Bernstein, August Bebel, and Karl Kautsky, it superseded the earlier Gotha Program.

In 1946 he retired from politics and edited his father Victor's exchange of letters with August Bebel and Karl Kautsky.

In 1880, he accompanied Bebel to London in order to clear up a misunderstanding over his involvement in an article published by Höchberg and denounced by Marx and Engels as being " chock-full of bourgeois and petty bourgeois ideas.

While in Europe he demonstrated an early interest in social democracy and met with a range of left-wing figures, including Friedrich Engels, Wilhelm Liebknecht, August Bebel, and Alexandre Millerand.

Other socialist feminists, notably two long-lived American organizations Radical Women and the Freedom Socialist Party, point to the classic Marxist writings of Frederick Engels ( The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State ) and August Bebel ( Woman and Socialism ) as a powerful explanation of the link between gender oppression and class exploitation.

Ferdinand August Bebel ( 22 February 1840, Deutz, Rhenish Prussia – 13 August 1913, Passugg, Graubünden ) was a German Marxist politician, writer, and orator.

Ferdinand August Bebel, known to all by his middle name, was born February 22, 1840, in Deutz, Germany, now a part of Cologne.

The German socialist party ( SPD ) was founded in Gotha in 1875, through the merger of two organizations: the Social Democratic Workers ' Party, led by August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht, and the General German Workers ' Association, founded by Ferdinand Lassalle.

This party had been founded in 1875 by merging two previous parties: the ADAV formed by Ferdinand Lassalle and the SDAP of August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht.

The group was the successor to the Association of German Workers ' Associations ( Verband Deutscher Arbeitervereine ) led by Wilhelm Liebknecht and August Bebel, but also included members from the General German Workers ' Association ( Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiter Verein ), founded by the late Ferdinand Lassalle.

Among his friends were – besides his brother – his former school friend Ferdinand Simon ( later son-in-law of August Bebel ), the brothers Carl and Gerhart Hauptmann, Heinrich Laux, and Charles Proteus Steinmetz.

Following the death of Lassalle, Bebel was among the group of Socialists that refused to follow new party leader Johann Baptist von Schweitzer at the Eisenach Conference of 1867, an action which gave rise to the name " Eisenachers " for this Marxist faction.

Because the seat was heavily contested, important SPD figures like August Bebel, Wilhelm Liebknecht, Georg von Vollmar, and Paul Singer visited the town to help Jöst and Rocker had a chance to see them speak.

Bebel was also President of the Union of German Workers ' Associations from 1867 and a member of the First International.

Bebel was elected to the North German Reichstag as a member from Saxony in that same year.

For insulting the German emperor, Bebel was additionally sentenced to nine months ' ordinary imprisonment.

At the time of his death Bebel was eulogized by Russian Marxist leader V. I.
