Originally a liberal journalist, Mehring joined the German Social Democratic Party in the early 1890s. Mehring was originally incredibly anti-communist, but eventually after studying the writings of Karl Marx, Mehring changed his mind and was won over to the side of communism. He rapidly became acknowledged as an important theoretician. In the course of time he moved to the left and became associated with the current around Rosa Luxemburg. With the outbreak of World War I he was, despite his advanced years, a prominent member of the revolutionary opposition to the war along with Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht and Clara Zetkin. He was a founder member of the German Communist Party established on New Years Day 1919, but died later in the month shortly after the murder of his comrades Luxemburg and Liebknecht.
