Over 3/4 of all delegates to Congress of Workers' Councils recalled 'guild socialism' to be replaced by council-communist program

Eastern Haane has been set ablaze, yet again, by the decision of the Congress of Workers' Councils to adopt 'guild socialism.' Wildcat strikes have again started up, demanding resignations, other workers deciding simply to use the existing system of workers' councils and assemblies to recall delegates.

Whatever the modus operandi, the new movement has generally been successful - 3/4 of all delegates to the Congress of Workers' Councils have been recalled.

As this process continues, however, many workers' councils have embarked on a new, 'council-communist' program. Direct-democratic councils in workplaces have been integrated into the system of city councils, with production coordinated by the entire system as a whole. Many workers' councils have again re-affirmed their communism, with some going as far as to begin the abolition of money, with food, rather than being sold, being rationed, or even given for free.

"The firm," announced the Nancy Workers' Council, "has been abolished. Workers are now united, united as one. There is no more division; all work for society, for humanity, and none else. The workers decide their own will; none else. No longer are the people subjected to the invisible tyrannies of capitalism. They have freed themselves."

Certainly, this point of view is common. It is very likely, as such, that this will at some point become the official program of the Congress.
