Overall parts of the article read like an essay on a "fighter for the good cause" with various formulations not really appropriate for an encyclopedia. The given sources appear somewhat biased as well.--Kmhkmh (talk) 19:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The way that the SPD is described as "reactionary" (!) and the USPD as "centrist" (!) seems to confirm that this article was written by some sectarian Communist. 83.226.206.82 (talk) 18:05, 6 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Copy-Paste of propaganda

This article is mostly a verbatim copy of Jan Appel: A Revolutionary Has Died, published in 1985 in the International Review, a quarterly of the International Communist Current.

Rather than attempt a re-write based on a large, unsourced, piece of propaganda, I propose to scrap the copied text and start a good article from scratch. Superp (talk) 10:27, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'd support a complete rewrite (possibly much shorter even) based on better suited more reputable sources. It looks the original author has been inactive for years and I'm not really a stakeholder here, I was just commenting when passing by. So you probably have a free hand in overhauling the article anyhow.--Kmhkmh (talk) 11:27, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
