(In an effort to expand my knowledge of Left Communist literature and generate discussion in this group.) Who is your favourite Left Communist theorist/writer and why?
Isaak Dashkovskij I translated one of his letters, and 3 theoretical texts: http://libcom.org/library/letter-sap...ak-dashkovskij http://libcom.org/library/abstract-l...ak-dashkovskij http://libcom.org/library/internatio...ak-dashkovskij http://libcom.org/library/internatio...ak-dashkovskij As it is in the news, I mention also that I long held that it would be interesting to explore eg his position on the national question (as a member in the early Ukrainan CP). His theoretical contributions are very important, eg on international exchange, one of the topics which Marx intended to write a volume on, he really seems to be one of the few who have developed Marxism further.
Paul Mattick covers everything, and he covers it well and simple. By far my favorite.
Gilles Dauvé. Communisation makes sense.
