-Pieck represents '''continuity''': the Weimar communist movement's survival through fascism, exile, and reconstruction. For debates over national roads, his biography is the proof that German communism claimed — not borrowed — its place in German history (see [[Otto Grotewohl]], [[German Road to Socialism]]).
