dear Ragnar M.

Your  Otto Ruhle  jingle  proves very little .
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.
