Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper is the theory of socialism as a »labor society« as articulated by the Dutch Marxist, Anton Pannckoek. His theory is representative of an entire political and theoretical tradition, winch developed in the socialist movement in the twentieth century. It is based theoretically on upgrading the »philosophy of labor« to the supreme human activity of the modem age and politically on the break with social-democratic and Bolshevik orthodoxy. The introduction briefly explains a method for interpreting Pannckoek's theory and the basic assumptions of his model of socialism as a »labor society«. The body of the text is a description (summary) and critique of Pannekoek’s model of socialism as a »labor society«.
