The Dutch-German Communist Left, represented by the German
KAPD-AAUD, the Dutch KAPN and the Bulgarian Communist Workers
Party, separated from the Comintern (1921) on questions like
electoralism, trade-unionism, united fronts, the one-party state
and anti-proletarian violence. It attracted the ire of Lenin, who
wrote his Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder against the
Linkskommunismus, while Herman Gorter wrote a famous response in
his pamphlet Reply to Lenin. The present volume provides the most
substantial history to date of this tendency in the
twentieth-century Communist movement. It covers how the Communist
left, with the KAPD-AAU, denounced 'party communism' and 'state
capitalism' in Russia; how the German left survived after 1933 in
the shape of the Dutch GIK and Paul Mattick's councils movement in
the USA; and also how the Dutch Communistenbond Spartacus continued
to fight after 1942 for the world power of the workers councils, as
theorised by Pannekoek in his book Workers' Councils (1946).
