Council Communism

Council Communism is a political movement that advocates for a form of socialism based on worker councils, or "soviets," as the main decision-making bodies. It emphasizes direct democracy, where workers collectively manage their workplaces and communities without a centralized state or political party leadership. Council Communists believe that true socialism arises from the grassroots level, contrasting with traditional communist parties that often seek state control. They argue that this approach allows for greater freedom and participation, aiming to create a society where workers have direct control over their economic and social lives.
