Jean Jaurès
Auguste Marie Joseph Jean Léon Jaurès (3 September 185931 July 1914), commonly referred to as
Jean Jaurès (; ), was a French
Socialist leader. Initially a
Moderate Republican, he later became one of the first
social democrats and (in 1902) the leader of the
French Socialist Party, which opposed
Jules Guesde's revolutionary
Socialist Party of France. The two parties merged in 1905 in the
French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO). An
antimilitarist, Jaurès was
assassinated in 1914 at the outbreak of
World War I, but remains one of the main historical figures of the
French Left. As a heterodox
Marxist, Jaurès rejected the concept of the
dictatorship of the proletariat and tried to conciliate
idealism and
materialism,
individualism and
collectivism,
democracy and
class struggle,
patriotism and
internationalism.
