| Abstract | In the early 1950s, an international network of revolutionary political groups emerged that sought to achieve ‘socialism from below’. The organisations Socialisme ou Barbarie (France), Spartacus (Netherlands) and Correspondence (USA) formed the core of this network, but the initiative also received support elsewhere. Partly under the influence of Khrushchev's secret speech at the 20th Congress of the CPSU and the Hungarian uprising, they attempted to develop joint activities in 1956, but these were not successful. |
