Theorie und Praxis des Generalstreiks in der modernen Arbeiterbewegung / Inauguraldissertation

The dissertation offers a systematic analysis of the general strike within the modern labor movement, beginning with a precise definition and classification of strike forms, and examining aims, mechanisms, and tactical variants. It surveys historical precursors and the development of mass and general strike ideas in diverse national contexts and international congresses. A critical section assesses conditions necessary for outbreak, organization, and success, and compares the general strike with related industrial and political actions. The conclusion evaluates its practical value and outlines broader social and political tasks arising from those conclusions.
