Hide Profile

Founded in 1923 by the member parties of the Labour and Socialist International (LSI, 1921-1923) and the International Working Union of Socialist Parties (IWUSP) at the Hamburg International Socialist Congress; the Sozialistische Arbeiter-Internationale/Labour and Socialist International (SAI/LSI) reunited the social democratic parties with the exception of the left wing of the pre-war International now organized in the COMINTERN; as a reaction to the collapse of the Second International in 1914 the members gave up a part of their autonomy, recognizing the SAI's decisions in international questions as binding on all member parties; its triennial congresses resolved on issues such as peace and international disarmament, the colonial question, democratization of the League of Nations and the struggle against fascism; reactions of the member parties to the latter problem, as well as their response to the popular front politics of the communists in the 1930s, differed widely and paralyzed the SAI on the eve of the Second World War; practically ceased to function, when its dominant secretary Friedrich Adler resigned in 1939; formally liquidated in 1946 and succeeded by the Socialist International (SI) in 1951; published Internationale Information.
