i've never run into any topic where wikipedia is so bad as pre-1925 communism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_communist_party_rule#By_left_communists … here's one egregious example: it lists four "early" communist "critics" of Lenin in the first paragraph. a few minutes one can see that NONE of them can be described as such.
but Pannekoek and Mattick appear to have published no critical material until the late 30s. Gorter's criticism of Lenin appears to have been limited to being upset that Lenin was telling him how he needed to run his revolution in the Netherlands. https://www.marxists.org/archive/gorter/1920/open-letter/index.htm …
Luxemburg DID have a few quibbles with how the bolsheviks operated in The Russia Revolution, but claiming that makes her a critic ignores the effusive praise she heaps on them in the very same essay.pic.twitter.com/gZrL2Grq7E
Wikipedia's article on Left Communism is the closest thing to the Necronomicon I think I will ever encounter. Reading it is like trying to drink ten gallons of cold saliva.
It reads like it was written by someone suffering from circumstantial/tangential speech -- it talks _around_ left communism but never tells you what it is. It's just a giant mucosal blob of loose facts.
This is Nabokovian
I'd almost call it Iain Banksian

“ From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.”
