Preferred term

Communist International  

Definition

  • The Communist International was threefold: an organizational part of the workers’ movement, a global-politico-cultural intermediate community, and a tool of the Bolsheviks and international communists for globalizing the Russian Revolution as part of what they thought would be the imminent European and world revolution. Reflecting an ambiguous picture of both universal brotherhood and bureaucratic Babylon, the Communist International (known as the Comintern) directly opposed the League of Nations, the Versailles System, and the new world order arrangements in consequence of World War I. It lasted from 1919 to 1943. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Studies; Communist International]
