Description: | This recording of the "Popular Front" song was made by the "Daily Worker Choir and Accordion" and distributed by the "Daily Worker". The "Daily Worker" (founded in 1930) was the house newspaper of the Communist Party. The song was originally written in German by the noted dramatist Bertolt Brecht but was translated for use in other countries. Calls for a "United Front" or "Popular Front" between Communists and other leftists were first taken seriously by the Communists in 1934. Until this point, Communist parties around the World had been instructed by the Communist International to regard other leftists as "Social Fascists". | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1935 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
