In November 1918, the labor movement of Bavaria, Germany, overthrew the monarchist government and, in April 1919, proclaimed a Bavarian Council Republic (BCR). This article analyzes the revolution and its defeat through the lens of class composition theory, thereby suggesting some revisions to the latter. The technical composition of the Bavarian working class fostered the concept of self-management, which lay at the heart of the councils as the organizational form of the revolution. However, it also nurtured authoritarian potentials, which were more in line with-counter revolutionary positions. The article suggests that class composition theory must be expanded by the notion of social composition, taking into account struggles over reproduction and consumption: Inflation, unemployment, food shortages, and disease led to a crisis in material reproduction, which in turn led large parts of the unemployed and of the women's movement to become radical revolutionaries. The article argues to conceptualize technical and social class composition to be in a dialectical relationship with political composition. It thus emphasizes the role of ideologies of anti-Semitism and anti-feminism, both within the counter-revolution and the revolution itself. While the combination of different struggles for emancipation contributed to the early successes of the revolution, their ideological division was as an important factor in its defeat.

1918 年 11 月，德国巴伐利亚州的劳工运动推翻了君主制政府，并于 1919 年 4 月宣布成立巴伐利亚议会共和国（BCR）。本文从阶级构成理论的角度分析革命及其失败，从而对后者提出一些修正。巴伐利亚工人阶级的技术构成促进了自我管理的概念，这是作为革命组织形式的议会的核心。然而，它也培养了更符合反革命立场的专制潜力。文章建议阶级构成理论必须通过社会构成的概念进行扩展，考虑到再生产和消费的斗争：通货膨胀、失业、粮食短缺、疾病导致了物质再生产的危机，进而导致大部分失业者和妇女运动成为激进的革命者。本文主张将技术和社会阶级构成概念化为与政治构成的辩证关系。因此，它强调了反犹太主义和反女权主义意识形态在反革命和革命本身中的作用。虽然不同解放斗争的结合促成了革命的早期成功，但他们的意识形态分歧是失败的重要因素。本文主张将技术和社会阶级构成概念化为与政治构成的辩证关系。因此，它强调了反犹太主义和反女权主义意识形态在反革命和革命本身中的作用。虽然不同解放斗争的结合促成了革命的早期成功，但他们的意识形态分歧是失败的重要因素。本文主张将技术和社会阶级构成概念化为与政治构成的辩证关系。因此，它强调了反犹太主义和反女权主义意识形态在反革命和革命本身中的作用。虽然不同解放斗争的结合促成了革命的早期成功，但他们的意识形态分歧是失败的重要因素。
