Presentation


«The emancipation of the workers is the task of the workers themselves.»
International Workers Association,
1868.


   The starting point of the research is as follows : 1871 Paris Commune, Russian soviets of 1905 and of 1917-1921, Soviets German workers in 1918, workers committees and / or peasants from the same time in Europe, Commissioons Workers 1936 in Spain, and so on to self-government committees in Algeria, Solidarnosch Poland, etc.
   Why masses (economically exploited, politically dominated, culturally alienated) and - sometimes - leaders who speak in their name, risk life in the application of self-government (factories, land, military battalions, neighborhoods, schools , etc ...) ?
   What do they want really ?
   How do they intend to achieve these goals ?
   With what results ?
