I still don't really understand the relation between SPGB and historical figures like Kautsky. Though the Kautsky pamphlets seem unavailable.

There is a series of talks from 1982 called Socialist Thinkers about the influence of figures including Kautsky on the SPGB; https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/audio/socialist-thinkers-people-who-history-made/

If you know the background, you've got the relationship between the spugub and Kautsky (and, indeed, by implication all similar historical figures) right there in that list.

"Handicraft and Capitalism",. "The Working Class" and the "The Capitalist Class" are extracts from Kautsky's explanation of the German Social-Democratic Party's Erfurt Programme, which is considered to be the standard definition of classical Second International (pre-First World War) Marxism.

Now issuing them showed the SPGB to be in social-democratic club. But.

There's a fourth part. The Socialist Labour Party, the SPGB's Scottish sister, had no qualms in issuing it. The SPGB, however, ended the series prematurely. It's not until you read "The Socialist Republic" that you see the difference:

Thus far and no further.
