Biography
Martin Tranmæl grew up on a middle-sized farm in
Norwegian Labour Party
where he soon became one of the main leaders of the Party's left wing and worked for many different socialist papers.
Tranmæl became a
Comintern meetings in Russia and encouraged the Norwegian Labour Party to join the Communist International organization and accept the Twenty-one Conditions for membership. Eventually Tranmæl led the Norwegian Labour Party out of the Comintern after a conflict with its chairman Zinoviev in 1923. The Party was split in two and the Communist Party of Norway
was formed that year by people who wanted to stay in the Comintern.
He participated in the Left Communist Youth League's military strike action of 1924. He agitated for it through the newspaper Arbeiderbladet, and was convicted for this crime and sentenced to 5 months days of prison.[5]
During
Nazi occupation of Norway, Tranmæl had to leave Norway and exiled in Stockholm, Sweden.[6] He had many friends there like Zeth Höglund and Ture Nerman. After the war he returned to Norway, and while still a socialist, had more moderate views and supported the Norwegian membership in NATO
in 1949.
