nov 24, 1917 - Dutch Communist Party

Description:

"In November 1917, Roland Holst enthusiastically greeted the revolution in Russia led by Lenin; the following year, she became a founding member of the Dutch Communist Party, which aimed to create a workers' state based on social justice and true freedom. When the Comintern, the Leninist organization dedicated to bringing about a world revolution, opened its Amsterdam bureau in November 1919, she became a member of its first executive committee. She was also a leading participant in the Communist conference held in Amsterdam the following February. Soon thereafter, she went to Strasbourg to advocate the Leninist revolution at an important French Socialist congress."
