The Socialist Centrists convoked a conference in Vienna, in February 1921, as an answer and a sign of disagreement with the policy of both the Second and the Third International. They accused the Second (Bern) International of submitting itself to the interests of bourgeoisie, which was intolerable at the time of proletarian revolutionary manifestations and the awakening of colonised peoples. To the Third (Moscow) International, however, the Centrists replied that they could not accept "the twenty-one conditions" and would, therefore, found their own International The parties pertaining to the international Centre rejected both the ideology of the reformistic Second International and that of the revolutionary Third. Instead, they opted for a middle - third way between the Social Democratic reformism and the Bolshevik revolution. Their ideological orientation was defined by the representatives of Austro-Marxism, who, in a different situation of peace, saw a possibility of reaching socialist society in the context of reformed Capitalism. The Vienna International was, in the words of F. Adler, founded with the aim of uniting the whole world proletariat in one international organisation, given that "the Congress of the Second International in Geneva (1920) and the Congress of the Third International in Moscow (1920) only represented one third of the world proletariat." The failure to reunite the dispersed movement in the united front, brought the Vienna International ideologically closer to the Second (Bern) International.
