Thought id put this in here for any one looking for writings by Council Communists. http://www.kurasje.org/arksys/archset.htm I am sure some of you have visited this site, maybe posting some writings you suggest to read up on from here. I just finished reading: [FONT=Arial]1979[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Some Thoughts On Organization - Henri Simon[/FONT] I found it pretty good, very good at describing spontaneous organization and [FONT=FreeSans]Willed (Voluntary organization). [/FONT]
I've always thought the full length Workers Councils by Pannekoek was not only the best introduction to council communism but it's discussion of the organisation and planning of society by the councils serves as one of the best introductions to communism in general. I always reccomend it to people who want to learn more about communism.
Coping the URL doesn't work on that site, go back to the main list and Right Click the link > Properties and copy the address. That will give you the link directly to the text, like i got above. Is this what you were referring to? [FONT=Arial]Workers' Councils - 1950[/FONT]
Ah yes. Thanks for the heads up
I would second kurasje.org as a great resource for historical council communist texts. The Collective Action Notes (http://redemmas.org/collective_action_notes) site also contains a lot of interesting and more recent stuff of a councilist vein. I'd also recommend Serge Bricianer's book 'Pannekoek and the Workers Councils'; it does an excellent job of tracing the development of Pannekoek's (and "councilism's" ) positions.
Thanks for those links, especially the redemmas one.
Hello Comrades, Just joined revleft 16 days ago and already threatened with removal for non-posting! Thought I'd best get my act together. Couple of other good sources for info: http://www.home.no/mattick/ http://www.marxists.org/archive/mattick-paul/index.htm http://www.af-north.org/other%20pamp...othertexts.htm
Don't forget www.libcom.org
Oh yeah - are we allowed to mention libcom on here?
I'm not aware if there is any conflict between RevLeft and LibCom. I should have made a worthwhile post and actually post something specific: http://libcom.org/library/council-co...k-shipway-1987
Just joined revleft 16 days ago and already threatened with removal for non-posting! Thought I'd best get my act together. Just a heads up - Posts in groups, chit chat and introductions don't count. You have to make a post on one of the main forums.
