ABOUT THIS SITE

The main purposes of the site is

• to make materials relevant to 'Council Communism' accessible for everybody interested world-wide
  

• to 'back-up' materials published on other similar sites in order to secure their on-line presence

The original plan for the site was not restricted to the history of 'Council Communism', but also envisaged sections for 'critical Marxist theory' and 'critical analyses of current affairs'. For the moment we leave it to others to combine history and theory into present day activity. Lack of resources forces this site to its somewhat dusty appearance.

The 'Council Communist Archive' does not restrict its space to materials exclusively from the 'Council Communist' or German/Dutch left tradition. Accounts and analyses from other political positions are included as well if they are somehow relevant to the matter and spreads some light to the history of the struggles and political life of the working class.

The primary language of this site is English in order to reach the broadest possible audience. The main language of the German/Dutch or Council Communist tradition is of course German though. So this site may seem somewhat odd mixing the languages. However 'Council Communism' is internationalist by 'nature', i.e. German 'Council Communists' are supposed to understand English and others hopefully will know just enough German to appreciate the site.

And as for language we would like to apologize for all the failing of the right words, spellings, phrases or grammar around here. Neither German nor English is our native language, so errors are inevitable from time to time. We just hope that you can live with that.

The Kurasje-project is a spare time hobby and therefore only irregular updated.

The Kurasje-project recommend a series of other sites to visit  - try the link-page.

The Kurasje-project welcome all responses  -   comments, suggestions, advices and critiques.

The Kurasje-project welcome cooperation   -   if you have relevant material for the site please let us know.

The publication of these materials on the web is not intended to provide a substitute for accessing the original materials in the traditional physical form of books, periodicals, journals, papers, leaflets or whatever. On the contrary. For serious and comfortable study of these matters it is necessary to obtain the printed 'hardware-editions'  -  through purchase, lending or researching the real historical archives. In the reading of history the original publications are always to prefer, since they are not only unchangeable and true historical documents, but also provide much more information some way or another. Therefore we encourage all visitors only to use this site as an inspiration and to go further on their own by getting the real printed editions of the texts presented here.

The materials presented on this site may be used freely for any purpose except profit. If somehow used, copied, cited,  referred or linked to in public we would just like to have a notice. Please add this site as source for your information while using it, like for instance: "The Council Communist Archieve  -  http://www.kurasje.org"

It  is not allowed to copy materials from this site for other publications  - electronically or physically printed  -  without explicit permission from the Kurasje-project and other possible owners of rights to the texts.  

The Kurasje-project takes no responsibility what so ever for the use by others of the materials published here.
