Anton Pannekoek discusses the viability of workers' councils as an
effective means of administrating a socialist society, as
contrasted to the centralized doctrines of state communism or state
capitalism. Conceived as an alternative way to establish and
sustain socialism, the workers councils have so far never been
successfully established at a national scale. Part of the problem
was disagreements among revolutionaries about their size and
responsibilities; while Lenin supported the notion during the
revolutionary period, the councils were phased out in favor of a
centralized state, rather than diffused through the strata of
society. Pannekoek draws on history for his ideas, noting the
deficiencies of previous revolutions and the major objectives a
future revolution should hold. The various tasks a state of
worker's councils must accomplish, and the enemies that must be
overcome - notably fascists, bourgeois elements and big business -
are listed.
