This paradox is analysed by reconstructing the Swiss debates about co-determination and industrial democracy during the short reform period following the national general strike in November of 1918. Elsewhere in Europe, forms of employee participation were institutionalised as a reaction to workers’ council activism after 1917, and these developments were closely followed in Switzerland. Such efforts at industrial democracy were considered as precursors to socialism by moderate representatives of the labour movement. At the same time, reform-minded centrist politicians praised co-determination as a happy compromise between Bolshevism and pure capitalism, as well as a logical consequence of Swiss democratic traditions. However, the reformist momentum generated by the national general strike was too weak, the concepts put forward were too diverse, and resistance by employers was too strong for any form of industrial democracy to become institutionalized during the window of opportunities that lasted until about 1920, when bourgeois fears of an imminent socialist revolution were dwindling.","PeriodicalId":82668,"journal":{"name":"Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Geschichte.

With the establishment of the partnership between Sacramento and Liestal in the late 1980 s, the administration of the canton Basel-Landschaft initiated an official commemoration of their common compatriot. What has been left out in this particular metanarrative until today are the achievements and deprivations of the hundreds of indigenous who were forced into labor and kept like animals by Sutter. The self-proclaimed empresario de colonizacion also dealt in indigenous children, who he violently robbed from their homes, within the illegal slave trade of indigenous peoples. The present article retraces the process that led to the initiation of the «General Sutter» commemoration in the 1980 s, and also sheds light on the hitherto hidden (indigenous) side of this popular Swiss tale and, therefore, reveals yet another part of entangled Swiss history.","PeriodicalId":82668,"journal":{"name":"Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Geschichte.
