An outspoken socialist writer and activist her uncompromising views on nationalism, on the common interests of the international proletariat – victory or defeat in war the result was the same for the proletariat - led her to oppose war - at a time of war. While Social Democratic Parties set aside all the fine resolutions passed at Congresses of the Second International and succumbed to supporting their respective national interests.
