Socialist Vanguard Group: 5 issues of Commentary
The following information about the organisation"Socialist Vanguar", was taken from the description to the records of this organisation, held atWarwick University, Modern Records Centre.
The Socialist Vanguard Group (SVG) was established in the United Kingdom in 1929 as the British Section of the Militant Socialist International (ISK) in Germany. The ISK had evolved in 1926 from the Internationaler Jugendbund, a small educational group of members of the main German Left parties led by the philosopher Leonard Nelson (1882 - 1927). The English Group was never large, but had an influence disproportionate to its size, one of its members, Allan Flanders, subsequently becoming a national figure as an industrial relations adviser. In 1950 the SVG was replaced by the Socialist Union; its journal, Socialist Commentary, continued and provided a focus after the Socialist Union was formally dissolved.
Mary Saran (1897 - 1976) was editor, then joint editor of Socialist Commentary from 1941 - 1955. Walter Fliess (1901 - 1985) was a member of the ISK and the Socialist Union.
The Society for the Furtherance of Critical Philosophy was established to promote the ideas of Leonard Nelson. The secretary and trustee was George F Green, who was general secretary of the Civil Service Clerical Association.
