The “Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution” emerged as a reaction to the negative development of the Russian Revolution. With this writing, the authors for the first time put up for debate the economic foundations for the construction and organization of a society in the sense of the “association of free and equal people”. At the same time, they took into account all the experience gained from the previous attempts of the labor movement, and by criticizing it were able to point out necessary new paths. A critique that has lost nothing of its original topicality to this day. The first edition of the Fundamental Principles, published in German in 1930, was confiscated and largely destroyed. A completely revised and improved edition in Dutch was first published in excerpts in 1931 and 1935 in book form in a second edition. The text of the German first edition was reprinted in 1970 and also translated into English and French. The completely revised and improved 2nd edition, on the other hand, remained largely unnoticed in Dutch for the following 85 years. With this translation of the 2nd edition into English, the Sleeping Beauty has awakened.

    The economic measures proposed by GIC have already been put forward by Marx and Engels. The latter, however, were disregarded by the Social Democracy and Bolshevism in favor of state capitalism according to Hilferdings 'Generalkartel'. The GIC has critically analyzed these reformist views of a planned economy. In addition, the GIC criticizes the planned economy variant of libertarian communism, as it was to be realized by anarcho-syndicalism in Spain in 1936. Using 'official' documents and debates by Lenin and Trotsky, the GIC shows how the dictatorship of the councils soon after the October Revolution was replaced by a dictatorship of the state over the working class. In contrast, the GIC proposes how a victorious working class can retain its power over society in the future, eliminating wage labor, money and the market, and managing and controlling production (and initially distribution) through the average working time in society.
