footnotes =Ignacy Daszyński [IPA-pl|'|i|g|n|a|c|y|-|d|a|sz|y|ń|s|k|i] (1866-1936) was a Polish politician. In his youth a founder of the
Polish Socialist Party , he suffered extremely impoverished circumstances as a consequence of his political activities on behalf of social justice, socialism and Polish independence. Throughout his subsequent political career, he was known for his scrupulous honesty and incorruptibility.Daszyński served briefly as
premier in the Polish provisional government established at the end ofWorld War I , in November 1918. (The provisional government dissolved itself upon the demand of fellow-SocialistJózef Piłsudski , who thought it too radically leftist.) Daszyński played a prominent role in the founding of theSecond Polish Republic and in itsInterbellum politics.He is the subject of an
anecdote recounted byIsaac Deutscher ::"Das Kapital" is a tough nut to crack, opined Ignacy Daszynski, one of the most well-known 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 [Daszyński] hadn't read this either, but Kelles-Krausz, the party theoretician, had read Kautsky's pamphlet and summarised it. He [Daszyński] 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.
