Gramsci's conception of factory councils was idealist in the best and worst sense. In the best sense, councils were postulated as transcendent bodies, requisite emancipatory agencies through which workers could autonomously generate their own distinctive productive and political life-world. Explicit in this conception was a penetrating, if yet incomplete, critique of the existing capitalist configuration (including the mode of production, the State, and such institutions of civil society as political parties, corporate groups, and syndicates) in terms of that configuration's own arrested potentialities. At the same time, the creative, self emancipatory dimension of Gramsci's council conception stands as a critical norm against which practice by those who would "lead" the proletariat towards the realization of "its" historical project could be measured
