Communist Workers Union of Germany

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communist Workers Union of Germany (German: Kommunistische Arbeiter-Union Deutschlands, KAUD) was a council communist organization in Germany. KAUD was founded in December 1931 by the 'Frankfurt-Breslauer Tendency' of the AAU(E) and sections of KAPD and AAUD. KAUD appealed to workers to form autonomous workers councils.[1]

KAUD published Der Kampfruf.[2]

Shortly after the 1933 National Socialist takeover KAUD disappeared.[2] During the spring of 1933, the group published magazines with different names. In December 1933, the organization was ripped apart by internal strife. By 1934, some KAUD cadres had regrouped as Revolutionäre Obleute.[3]
