KAPD and AAUD placard calling for an election boycott in 1920
Council communism or councilism is a current of left-communist thought that emerged in the 1920s. Inspired by the November Revolution, council communism was opposed to state socialism and advocated workers' councils and council democracy. Councilism is also opposed to Leninism and Stalinism. It was strongest in Germany and the Netherlands during the 1920s.
