See also p. 108.
Chapter 29
1. Some people have argued that demands purely or primarily beneficial to workers have been “left out” or “watered down” in the Charter. It would only have been a working-class document, they argue, if it had explicitly mentioned the workers’ committees referred to when the clause on the people's wealth was motivated at the Congress of the People.
From the research that we have done it does not appear that the establishment of workers’ committees to control individual production units (mentioned in the motivation) was a specific demand from people. Certainly it was not raised in any of the demands sent in to the Congress of the People headquarters, that we have seen. There seems no evidence that it was suppressed or “left out”.
