Edoff Andersson

Edoff Emanuel Andersson (2 July 1892 – 18 June 1934) was a Swedish politician and trade unionist. He was a prominent union leader of the civilian employees in the defense sector as well as a communist member of parliament.

Andersson was a munitions factory worker. Andersson served as the 'first ombudsman' of the Civilian Defense Employees Union. Whilst his party supported cuts in military spending, Andersson (a former defense industry worker himself) considered the abolition of militarism an impossibility whilst capitalism persisted.

Andersson was elected to parliament in the 1928 elections.

In October 1929 the Communist Party passed through a major split, as Karl Kilbom, Nils Flyg and their followers were expelled from the party by the Executive Committee of the Communist International (through its representative Kullervo Manner).
