In fact, this section consisted mainly of small workshops with only a few workers, without capital reserves and with few economic prospects. Most of them were sold to private Algerian entrepreneurs in later years. Big enterprises were nationalised only in later years and were never placed under a system of workers' self-management. Since the early 1970s there is a legalised system of workers* committees in Algerian State-owned industries, but these committees have only advisory and control functions and do not participate actively in decision-making. aa The idea of the pure peasant revolution as opposed to the cojcrupted nationalism of the urban bourgeoisie was popularised by Fanon. a3 M Bcnachenhou, "Problemcs sociologiques de I* autogestion agricole en Mitidja" These de 3e cycle, 1969, Bordeaux, p 183. 24 Between 1965 and 1970 the aueober of tractors in the-private sector increased from 15,000 to 24,000. u This is only hearsay information I cannot vouch for.
