Labour Law for Factory Councils

Patrick Goode

Chapter 3 in Karl Korsch, 1979, pp 37-61 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The second phase of Korsch’s writings on the struggle by the working class for direct control over production concerns the factory councils (Betriebsräte) rather than the more broadly based workers’ councils (Arbeiterräte). This change reflects the changed focus of political life during 1920–2. In this period, the Arbeiterräte were non-existent, having in fact lost most of their effectiveness by the end of 1919. As Korsch pointed out: already in November 1919 only a tiny band of ‘municipal workers’ councils’ was left … of the revolutionary workers’ and soldiers’ councils of … 1918 … but since the end of 1919 we have no longer had political councils in the revolutionary sense.1
