Paul Mattick, Sr. (March 13, 1904 – February 7, 1981) was a Marxist political writer and social revolutionary, whose thought can be placed within the council communist〔http://libcom.org/library/council-communism-mattick〕 and left communist traditions. Throughout his life he continually criticised Bolshevism,〔http://libcom.org/library/anti-bolshevist-communism-germany-paul-mattick〕 Lenin〔http://libcom.org/library/the-lenin-legend-mattick〕 and Leninist organisational methods,〔http://libcom.org/library/the-masses-and-the-vanguard-mattick〕〔http://libcom.org/library/luxemburg-versus-lenin-mattick〕 describing their political legacy as: :"...serving as a mere ideology to justify the rise of modified capitalist (state-capitalist) systems, which were ... controlled by way of an authoritarian state."〔http://www.marxists.org/archive/mattick-paul/1978/introduction.htm〕 ==Early life== Born in Pomerania in 1904 and raised in Berlin by class-conscious parents, Mattick was already at the age of 14 a member of the Spartacists' ''Freie Sozialistische Jugend''. In 1918, he started to study as a toolmaker at Siemens AG, where he was also elected as the apprentices' delegate on the workers' council of the company during the German Revolution. Implicated in many actions during the revolution, arrested several times and threatened with death, Mattick radicalized along the left and oppositional trend of the German communists. After the "Heidelberg" split of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD; a successor to the Spartacist League) and the formation for the Communist Workers Party of Germany (KAPD) in the spring of 1920, he entered the KAPD and worked in the youth organization ''Rote Jugend'', writing for its journal. In 1921, at the age of 17, Mattick moved to Cologne to find work with Klockner for a while, until strikes, insurrections and a new arrest destroyed every prospect of employment. He was active as an organizer and agitator in the KAPD and the AAU in the Cologne region, where he got to know Jan Appel among others. He also established contacts with intellectuals, writers and artists working in the AAUE founded by Otto Rühle. With the continuing decline of radical mass struggle and revolutionary hopes, especially after 1923, and having been unemployed for a number of years, Mattick emigrated to the United States in 1926, whilst still maintaining contacts with the KAPD and the AAUE in Germany. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Mattick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
