An incredibly important book on the history of the German Revolution has just been published in English by Brill. A deep study of the council movement that surpasses both reactionary and leninist/stalinist historiography and rightly admits a greater role to the council movement.

When council communists lost their lives fighting proto-fascists, Radek made deals with them. When the council communists died in concentration camps, Molotov drank with Hitler. And still Stalinists have the audacity to call council communists class traitors.

Today, Pannekoek died in 1960. One of the most underrated Marxists, coming from the second international, who was - unrecognized - the forerunner of an unorthodox open Marxist critique which others did not get to until much later. He was ahead of his time on many fields.

In 1969, 2 council communists infiltrated a comedy theater about the Bavarian council republic as extras to protest the "falsification of history" about the Bavarian council republic. They were supported by students throwing smoke bombs and tomatoes.
