Paul Mattick Sr. (March 13, 1904 – February 7, 1981) was a German-American Marxist political writer, political philosopher and social revolutionary, whose thought can be placed within the council communist[1] and left communist traditions.
Throughout his life, Mattick continually criticised Bolshevism, Vladimir Lenin and Leninist organisational methods, 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".[2]
