Cohn-Bendit, Daniel & Gabriel
Obsolete Communism
AK Press 239pp ISBN: 1-902593-25-1 $25.40
'Their nightmares are our dreams' In May 68 a student protest at Nanterre University spread to other universities, to Paris factories and in a few weeks to most of France. On May 13 a million Parisians marched. Ten million workers went out on strike. At the center of the fray from the beginning was Daniel Cohn-Bendit, expelled from Nanterre for his agitation. Obsolete Communism was written in 5 weeks immediately after the French state regained control, and no account of May 68 or indeed of any rebellion can match its immediacy or urgency. Daniel's gripping account of the revolt is complemented by brother Gabriel's biting criticism of the collaboration of the state, the union leadership and the French Communist Party in restoring order, defusing revolutionary energy & handing the factories back to the capitalists. Leninism & the unions come under fire as top-down bureaucracies whose need to manage and control are always at odds with revolutionary action.

Workers' Councils
AK Press 219pp ISBN: 1902593561 $22.50
'Good, solid, working-class literature.' -Noam ChomskyWhat the working class strives for in its struggle, liberty and security, to be master of its own life, is only possible through control of the means of production. State socialism is not control of the means of production by the workers, but control by the organs of the state. If it is democratic at the same time, this means that workers themselves may select their masters. By contrast direct control of production by workers means that the employees direct the enterprises and construct the higher and central organizations from below. This is what is called the system of workers councils. -Pannekoek 1952 In this timeless text, Anton Pannekoek provides his analysis of how we can create and sustain this practical model for social equality.
