German Social-Democracy was the strongest and most influential party of the Second International. That is why, on the one hand, it bears the greatest responsibility for its collapse, and on the other, its example and experience are most important for studying the reasons of this collapse and for analysing the measures, ways and means for fighting the opportunism which has strangulated that party.
