Ignacy Daszyński
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ignacy Daszyński (1866-1936) was a Polish politician. A leader of the Polish Socialist Party, Daszyński served briefly as head of the Polish provisional government established at the end of World War I in November 1918. He played a prominent role in the restoration of the Second Polish Republic after World War I.
He is an object of this anecdote, told by Isaac Deutscher:
- Das Kapital is a tough nut to crack, opined Ignacy Daszynski, one of the most wellknown socialist "people's tribunes" around the turn of the 20th century, but anyhow he had not read it. But, he said, Karl Kautsky had read it, and written a popular summary of the first volume. He hadn't read this either, but Kelles-Krausz, the party theoretician, had read Kautsky's pamphlet and summarised it. He also had not read Kelles-Krausz's text, but the financial expert of the party, Hermann Diamand, had read it and had told him, i.e. Daszynski, everything about it. [1]
