The German council movements arose through mass strikes and soldier
mutinies towards the end of the First World War. They brought down
the German monarchy, founded several short-lived council republics,
and dramatically transformed European politics. Building Power to
Change the World reconstructs how participants in the German
council movements struggled for a democratic socialist society. It
examines their attempts to democratize politics, the economy, and
society through building powerful worker-led organisations and
cultivating workers' political agency. Drawing from the practices
of the council movements and the writings of theorists such as Rosa
Luxemburg, Anton Pannekoek and Karl Kautsky, Building Power to
Change the World returns to their radical vision of a
self-determining society and their political program of
democratization and socialization. It presents a powerful argument
for renewed attention to the political theories of this historical
period and for their ongoing relevance for democratic politics
today.
