Ferdinand Desalle

Ferdinand Lassalle was a jewish, socialist, Marxist, political activist and pre-commie, notorious as the initiator of the social democratic movement in Germany. Lassalle was the first man in Germany, the first in Europe, who succeeded in organising a party of socialist action, or, as Rosa Luxemburg put it: "Lassalle managed to wrestle from history in two years of flaming agitation what needed many decades to come about." As agitator he began upheavals that took a grim toll on German society.
