However, whereas Wittkowski saw in the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in West Germany a potential ally in support of workers and in opposition to the Adenauer régime, Ulbricht saw the western SPD, even before publication in 1959 of the Godesberg Program, as irredeemably counter-revolutionary.[1] The idea that one might "do business" with them was a repudiation of valued Stalinist dogma.[6] More generally, he was underwhelmed by her economic and other criticisms. Her advocacy of "socialist self-management"[8] led to a charge of "Managerism".[3][9] In February 1958 the Central Committee plenum endorsed the orthodox line advocated by General Secretary Ulbricht: Wittkowski underwent a "temporary demotion".[3] (For the other critics named in the previous paragraph demotion was permanent) She was removed from her deputy presidency of the State Planning Commission and her name was no longer included on the party list for the Volkskammer election that year.[5] She was also resigned from the Central Committee,[2] although her name now appeared on the list of candidates for Central Committee membership, an indulgence not afforded to comrades Schirdewan[10] and Wollweber.[11]
