Abstract:Članek obravnava pozno obdobje marksizma in socialdemokratskega gibanja Druge internacionale, predvsem z ozirom na vprašanja pacifizma, militarizma in vojne. Socialna demokracija je samo sebe dojemala kot stranko miru, stranko, ki nasprotuje vojnam, v katere po svoji naravi teži kapitalizem v svoji razviti, imperialistični fazi. Ta boj se je izkazal kot neuspešen, saj so socialistične stranke ob začetku prve svetovne vojne podlegle militarizmu. Članek se ukvarja z razlago, da lahko vzrok za ta poraz najdemo v pretiranem determinizmu ortodoksnega marksizma, ki spodbuja pasivnost, in skozi analize izbire taktik in sklepanja vprašljivih kompromisov z reakcionarnimi silami poskuša pokazati, da je takšna razlaga nenatančna. Pokažemo nasprotno, da so se vodilni marksisti in socialni demokrati zavedali, da vojna ni nujen nasledek ekonomskih nujnosti. Pravzaprav gre razlog za končno podporo vojni leta 1914 po eni strani iskati v želji po samoohranitvi, ki je prevladala nad revolucionarnimi cilji socialističnega gibanja, po drugi pa enostavno v nemoči socialdemokratskih strank, ki niso imele primernih sredstev, da bi razredni konflikt vodile tudi v vojnem stanju, saj so dolga leta zanemarjale bolj militantna orožja, kot je splošna stavka.

Title:The question of war in the marxism of the second international : From Determinism to the Struggle for Self-Preservation
Abstract:The article addresses the late period of Marxism and the social democratic movement of the Second International, focusing particularly on the issues of pacifism, militarism, and war. Social democracy perceived itself as the party of peace, a party fighting against wars, which capitalism in its imperialist phase tends toward by its very nature. This struggle ultimately proved unsuccessful, as socialist parties succumbed to militarism at the outbreak of World War I. The article challenges the explanation that attributes this failure to the excessive determinism of orthodox Marxism, which allegedly encouraged passivity. Through an analysis of tactical choices and questionable compromises with reactionary forces, it seeks to show that such an interpretation is inaccurate. On the contrary, we demonstrate that leading Marxists and social democrats were well aware that war was not an inevitable outcome of economic necessity. In fact, the reason for the eventual support for the war in 1914 lies, on the one hand, in a desire for self-preservation that outweighed the revolutionary goals of the socialist movement, and on the other hand, in the simple incapacity of the social democratic parties, which lacked the appropriate means to pursue class conflict under wartime conditions.
