Dr. Rudolf Steiner And The Federation For The Threefold Social Organism

Counterstatement in: Threefolding of the Social Organism, vol. 1, no. 27

A large part of the German press is reporting that Dr. Rudolf Steiner and the Federation for Threefolding are associated with Bolshevism and Communism. At the same time, “he is ascertaining the names of all officers allegedly active in a reactionary sense and collecting material against them regarding actions that violate international law on the basis of witness statements, which is then to be sent to the Entente for extradition.”

In response to this, we note that this message contains a slanderous untruth in every sentence and that the accusation of association with Bolshevism is a real absurdity that is easily recognized by anyone who is impartial as a transparent machination. The alleged letter from Dr. Steiner or the Bund is also included as evidence.

The Federation was brought into being in April 1919 in response to Dr. Rudolf Steiner's public appeal 'To the German People and to the Cultural World'. Since its inception, it has been concerned exclusively with the public dissemination of the ideas set forth in Rudolf Steiner's fundamental book “The Core Points of the Social Question”, and works without the support of any party, solely in the interests of healthy social development.

Stuttgart, January 6, 1920. Dr. Rudolf Steiner. Federation for the Threefold Social Organism. Prof. Dr. v. Blume, Kühn, Leinhas, Kommerzien-Rat Molt, Dr. Unger.
