The Eclipse and Re-emergence of the Communist Movement a classic text by Jean Barrot.
'NewRab' or '- How can the Working Class transform the 'Economy' in
its own interests ?' is a discussion of how practically we could create
a communist society, not as an ultimate and far off ideal but directly
out of the economy as it exists today. As such it is as much about 'politics'
as 'economics'.
As a subject it is rarely discussed and in some circles positively
avoided, but it arises almost directly out of our needs today. For if we
are critical of existing society, then the first question that automatically
arises is 'how should we replace it ?'
It is not sufficient any longer to simply be 'against' the existing
order of things, instead we must begin to work out what it is we are for.
Real movements confronting real questions cannot fail to address such a
question. 'NewRab' is merely an early attempt and one that must very much
be looked on as provisional and transitional . . . readers should feel

A useful site for links to many other communist sites, plus access to documents not found elsewhere, including a number by Anton Pannekoek and Otto Ruhle is Johngray
Escape a site with lots of interesting links, plus some useful articles: Beyond Krostadt (about the Russian Revolution) and Leaving the Twentieth Century
Wildcat the site of the Wildcat group. Recommended. Interesting discussions on things green ... but some odd views too!
