Ignacy Daszyński (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 of World War I, in November 1918. (The provisional government dissolved itself upon the demand of fellow-Socialist Józef Piłsudski, who thought it too radically leftist.) Daszyński played a prominent role in the founding of the Second Polish Republic and in its Interbellum politics.
He is the subject of an anecdote recounted by Isaac 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. [1]
