Question

Summarize the Anti-War Proclamation and Program. Why would it have been so controversial?

Answer 1

Answer:

ummarizing: On the contrary, the acute situation created by war calls for an even more vigorous prosecution of the class struggle, and we recommend to the workers and pledge ourselves to the following course of action:

1. Continuous, active, and public opposition to the war, through demonstrations, mass petitions, and all other means within our power.

2. Unyielding opposition to all proposed legislation for military or industrial conscription.

Should such conscription be forced upon the people, we pledge ourselves to continuous efforts for the repeal of such laws and the support of all mass movements in opposition to conscription. We pledge ourselves to oppose with all our strength any attempt to raise money for payment of war expenses by taxing the necessities of life or issuing bonds, which will put the burden on future generations.
