Adéodat Constant Adolphe Compère-Morel (1872 – 1941) was a French Socialist politician, agronomist, orator and writer. Characterized as a doctrinaire Marxist, he was one of the founders of the Socialist Party of France (Parti sociale de France, PSdF). A gifted propagandist, he was a particular expert on social reform in rural France and became viewed as his party’s agrarian specialist. He was an associate of the likes of revolutionary Marxist socialist journalist and literary critic Paul Lafargue and authored many books and papers, several of which were partly written with Lafargue. His best known and most influential work was Encyclopedie Socialiste, published in 1912.  

Charles Rappoport (1865 – 1941) was a Russian and French militant communist politician, journalist and writer. A Jewish intellectual, and a multilingual scholar, he’s been referred to as “a grand man of French radicalism”.
