Welcome to the "Non-Leninist Marxism" Page. It contains a number of book-length works I have produced over the years exploring the possibilities of democratic communism and direct industrial democracy. It is my conclusion that the Leninists, in all of their various forms, cannot serve as a model for a successful anti-capitalist revolution, and that they need to be opposed by working class militants to the same extent as the capitalists. My motto is: "Never talk to a Trot without an ice pick in your pocket".
My outlook has been heavily influenced by the "Council Communists" of the 1920's, including Karl Korsch, Anton Pannekoek, Hermann Gorter and Antonio Gramsci, as well as by the "Urban Guerrilla" theorists of the 1970's, including Abraham Guillen, Renate Curcio and Carlos Marighella. To a lesser extent, I have also drawn from the ideas of the anarchists and "libertarian" socialists.
It is my hope that, by rejecting Leninists and Leninism, the working class movement can return to its roots and transform socialism from a regimented work camp into a society with freedom and democracy within the workplace as well as outside it.
Yours for the revolution,
Lenny Flank, Jr.
