Subject: M-I: beginnings of German communism


dear  friends,

In the research and study of German communism, i  would
never think that the sterling fellow Louis Proyect  would ever slur over
 and bury the history of the Post WW1 revolutionary wave in europe,
Germany in particular.
Just in case though, just a reminder, in dicussion of the early 
KPD, of the Fischer, Brandler, Levi, period of  1920-24, don't
forget the split between the  cominternist KPD and the 38,000
workers of the KAPD  soviet  red workers led by H. Gorter ,et
al..

If you need more details about this revolutionary  period in 
european history and the huge bourgeois counterrevolution that
followed and the balance sheet of lessons for us today ,
 write to the Communist Workers Organization,
Box 338, S3 9YX, UK and send a fiver and get their Rev. Perspectives
--old series  of the CWO.
No more cover-ups , print the whole story , read the  perspectives
of the communist-left too,as thir groups played a huge role in
the soviet/ workers councilist  risings in germany in 1919, 20,21.

Using the Comintern reports on this , and the cover-ups the 
social democrats put out  is only  a mixture of stale gruel and 
administrative pap. Dig down and see what the actual German 
workers were thinking --and doing for revolution.

Neil
