The Central Council of Dada for the World Revolution
- The Central Council of Dada for the World Revolution
The Central Council of Dada for the World Revolution was the name of the political party set up by Berlin branch of the Dadaist movement following the end of World War I.
The Berlin Dada's supported the Spartacist revolutions of 1918-1919, led by communists Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. When this revolution was crushed and Liebknecht and Luxemburg killed, the Dadas continued to seek power through democratic means. They were present at the Congress of the Weimar Congress, but still remained relatively powerless.
In 1918, Dadaist Johannes Baader published "What is Dadaism and what does it want in Germany?" and signed it as the Central Council of Dada for World Revolution. In this tract, Baader outlines the Dada's ideals of communism mixed with expressionism.
