	KAPD Programme \| International Communist Current
		The ransom paid to this current is reflected in the preface to the programme which contained the federalist and even individualist notion that "the autonomy of the members in all circumstances is the basic principle of a proletarian party, which is not a party in the traditional sense".
		The KAPD was born when this clique, basing itself on the personal conception that it had elaborated, tried to transform the tactic of the party, which, up to then had been revolutionary, into a reformist tactic.
		Faithful to the spirit of the Third International, the KAPD remains attached to the idea of the founders of scientific socialism, according to which the conquest of political power by the proletariat signifies the destruction of the political power of the bourgeoisie.

	Karl Schröder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In November 1920 Schröder, Rasch and Gorter went to Moskow to negotiate with the Bolsheviks and the EKKI for the KAPD as "sympathizing member" of the III.
		The concept of the 'death crisis of capitalism' was introduced and from this point of view the KAPD was suggested to advocate non-participation in daily workers struggles within capitalism and immediate formation of a new Communist Workers International.
		Many former members of the KAPD was recruited for the closed network and operated mainly within the SPD, especially the youth-organizations, where they participated in the debates and supported the left oppositional currents with the perspective of mass clarification and further recruitment for the RK-network.

	Council communism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its primary organisation was the Communist Workers Party of Germany (KAPD).
		The leading theoreticians of the KAPD had developed a new series of ideas based on their opposition to party organisation, and their conception of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia as having been a bourgeois revolution.
		Rühle later left the KAPD, and was one of the founders of the AAUD-E. Another leading theoretician of Council Communism was Paul Mattick, who later emigrated to the USA.

	Left communism
		The KAPD when founded was a small party of some tens of thousands of revolutionaries but within a few years had been reduced to an impotent and much split set of sects.
		Frontism was seen as an opposition to working in the same organisations as reformist workers such work being seen as unhelpful at a time when the revolution was seen as an actuality and not merely as a goal to be aimed at.
		This led the members of the KAPD to reject working in the traditional trade unions in favour of forming their own revolutionary unions.

	The Second Congress of the KAPD
		But now the KAPD was in the International, it was necessary to use the forthcoming Congress of the International to report on the German situation as it really was, and so prove to the Russian comrades that the politics of the KPD(S) were false.
		The regular Congress of the KAPD recognises the Communist International as the union of the revolutionary workers of all countries who are fighting for the dictatorship of the proletariat.
		The KAPD did not want to take over the BO's as an end in itself, but to use them as a means to organise propaganda for the forward march of the revolution.

		The name of the central organ of the KAPD was chosen to be the Kommunistische Arbeiterzeitung (Communist Workers’ Paper), which was to appear at least twice a week.
		The Congress of the KAPD declares that it cannot agree with the nationalist teaching of Laufenberg and Wolffheim.
		The workers organised in the KAPD recognise themselves without reservation as international socialists and, as such, reject all propaganda for the revival of nationalist thought in the ranks of the working class.

		The organisation split more or less in half, with the IKD faction forming the Communist Workers Party of Germany (KAPD) in April 1920.
		During the Nazi period, the KPD was brutally suppressed, and known sympathizers were sent to concentration camps as a part of the Holocaust.
		Following the split with KAPD, the KPD was left in the hands of Paul Levi, who sought to win over social democratic workers.

		This development was mirrored in the Netherlands and on a smaller scale in Bulgaria where the Left Communist movement was to mimic that of Germany.
		Contacts between the Italians and the germans had been made and were developed in France but the Italian Left associated the KAPD's stress on factory organisation as being similar to the ideas of Gramsci's L'Ordine Nouvo and therefore rejected closer contact.
		Kirchoff had formerly been a member of the KAPD in Germany, then a Trotskyist in the USA but his tiny group would seem to have disappeared at the outbreak of war in 1939.

	Marxism message, KAPD
		I was thinking of Wolffheim, who was one of the two people who led the KAPD out of the KPD.
		Offhand, I thought that there was another major figure of the KAPD who moved towards the Nazis, but I can't find one, so my bad.
		I don't think that the KAPD was dominated by the "lumpen," but I think they had some serious lumpen elements.

		Such work was seen by the KAPD as unhelpful at a time when the revolution was thought to be an imminent event, and not merely a goal to be aimed at.
		However, it would be incorrect to see it exclusively in such a narrow focus, as the pamphlet also contained polemics against other currents such as the De Leonists Socialist Labor Parties, the syndicalist Industrial Workers of the World, the KAPD and Sylvia Pankhurst's Workers Socialist Federation.

		The Communist Workers Party (KAPD) had emerged from a split in the KPD, on the basis of opposition to parliament and trade unionism.
		The council communists, most of whom came from the KAPD and its Dutch equivalent, went further than the KAPD in their critique of the Bolsheviks.
		Whereas the KAPD argued that the Soviet state, the official communist parties around the world, grouped together in the Communist International, became counter-revolutionary in 1921-22, the council communists discovered that they had never been revolutionary at all.

		For the KAPD) contrary to Moscow) the revolution is no party matter, the party no authoritarian organisation from the top down, the leader no military chief, the masses no army condemned to blind obedience, the dictatorship no despotism of a ruling clique; communism no springboard for the rise of a new Soviet bourgeoisie.
		For the KAPD the revolution is the business of the whole proletarian class within which the communist party forms only the most mature and determined vanguard.
		However because the KAPD doesn't give in nevertheless it ought to be censured by the Congress of the III International to comply to Moscow's power) of)command.

	Revolutionary Traditions -- Council Communism
		Expelled in late 1919 from the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (Spartakusbund) for their rejection of parliamentarianism and the old trade unions, the German 'left' communists formed a new party, the KAPD, which briefly overshadowed its 'official' rival in militancy and influence.
		One wing, around Otto Ruhle, held that since the Revolution is not a Party Matter' - the party-form being inherently bourgeois - the KAPD should dissolve itself into the new workplace organisations, which would instead be the proper vehicles of proletarian dictatorship.
		Against them, the majority expounded a theory of the offensive, wherein the cadre party ('hard as steel, clear as glass') sought to lead the proletariat by example - with less than happy results, as the disastrous March Action of early 1921 made clear.

		For the Moscow Central Committee has committed this injustice against the KAPD only, because for its opportunist world tactics it did not want the really revolutionary elements, but the opportunist Independents, etc..
		It has deliberately used the tactics of Wolffheim and Laufenberg against the KAPD for the most miserably opportunist of reasons, although it knew that the KAPD did NOT agree with those tactics.
		The second section, which is almost more serious, is the treatment of the KAPD, the ONLY party in Western Europe which, as an organisation, as a whole, from its very origin onwards, has conducted the revolution as it should be conducted.
