Council Communism primarily constitutes a unified approach rather than having distinct branches. However, it has influential factions and ideologies that have contributed significantly to its development. Some of these include: Workers' Council Movement

Council Communism is a political movement that emphasizes workers' self-management through councils, which are assemblies of workers that make decisions collectively. Instead of a centralized party or state control, it advocates for direct democracy in the workplace and communities. The Workers' Council Movement is a key aspect of this ideology, focusing on the establishment of councils as the primary organizing structure for workers to control production and administration, thus creating a more equitable society. This approach emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the perceived failures of both capitalism and traditional Marxist parties.
