The Workers Opposition in the Russian Communist Party: The Fight for Workers Democracy in the Soviet Union - Paperback

by Alexandra Kollontai (Author)

A manifesto of the Workers Opposition, a group within the USSR's Communist Party that rejected Leninist centralization and Stalinist dictatorship, and argued for direct worker control of the industries, democratic socialism, the rights of labor unions, the right of free criticism of Party leaders and programs, the end of Party repression, and a return to the original worker-organized Council-based state structure. Most of the Workers Opposition died in Stalin's jails.
