Wild Socialism examines the rise, development, and decline of
revolutionary councils of industrial workers in Berlin at the end
of the First World War. This popular movement spread throughout
Germany, and was without precedent in either the theory or practice
of the Social Democratic party and the trade unions allied to it.
These workers councils were most highly developed in Berlin, within
its particular industrial, political, and cultural milieu. The
Berlin Shop Stewards group provided a hard core of militant
revolutionaries within the movement, many of whose adherents were
more moderate or ambiguous in their views. Externally, the
councilists faced a hostile Social Democratic-trade union
bureaucracy who characterized council rule as "wilde Sozialismus,"
a reconstituted and repressive state power, and a revolutionary
rival in the rise of German Bolshevism. This work considers the
experience of the Berlin councils as alternative institutions
outside of traditional union, party, and governmental structures.
