Happy New Year Everyone!! I spent a good amount of time translating articles on Council Communism and Council Theory this year. I've compiled all my translations here in a single DOC file. Most of these translations are from the KAPD and Anton Pannekoek.

Nvm, the text by GIC had been translated and published in the International Council Correspondence. This has a critique of the Enterprise-form and so-called "free communism" which the GIC called "free competitive communism" and a Proudhonist drivel.
@outsidadgitator Also I'm sure you might not know about this but the GIC itself had a critique of the anarcho-syndicalists for maintaining the Enterprise-form which hasn't been translated. It's in "Het anarchisme en de militarie en economische organisatie van de revolutie" in PIC, 1937, No. 5

Apparently, members of the Rote Kämpfer used to store illegal materials and leaflets in footballs and kick them all the way across the Czechoslovak border while they pretended to hike through the Ore Mountains [Erzgebirge] near Zinnwald.

@greyxday Afaik there are none. It has always been a repetition of the original point without taking into consideration that the accusation of two counts of formalism simply doesn't exist.

@jenvulture There's also this text called "Council Democracy, or the end of Political" by Alex Demirovic. But be careful while treading into the works of Demirovic and other contemporary german writers who are appreciative of Council Communism, they are anti-deutsche most of the time.

@blarpvs @jenvulture The SouB was more like an amalgation. Several Council Communists came from that group like Chaze and Simon. Pannekoek was himself critical of Castoriadis and these Council Communists [inc L. Michaelson] would also criticize Castoriadis for his self-management tactics.

@jenvulture Also, the ISR. Especially, Theses on the Council Concept. And then there are several people who are influenced by Council Communism or have a favourable view towards like Werner Bonefeld, Horkheimer, Adorno, Simon Clarke etc. etc.
