Ruhle was a left-communist of sorts and fought well in the German soviet revolutions of 1919-21 ,it is true. But his disgust with Party politics was driven by the disgust with the degenerating Comintern led German KPD. and its botched revolutions in the waves of the early 20s. Unfortunately his critique is somewhat hypocritical as he re-entered the old German social democratic political circles and I think even later re-joined the SPD by the mid 20s. I think even he recognized that political struggle inside the class had something to do with effectively fighting capitalism and its state.
