Council Communism

Council communism (occasionally referred to as councilism) is a current of libertarian Marxism that emerged out of the November Revolution in the 1920s, characterized by its opposition to state capitalism/state socialism and its advocacy of workers' councils as the basis for workers' democracy.

Originally affiliated with the Communist Workers' Party of Germany (KAPD), council communism continues today as a theoretical and activist position within the greater libertarian socialism movement.

Famous quotes containing the words council and/or communism:

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The crusade against Communism was even more imaginary than the spectre of Communism.
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
