At assemblies, collectives discussed problems and proposals. Many collectives elected administrative committees, generally consisting of half a dozen people, to manage affairs until the next meeting. The open assemblies:

allowed the inhabitants to know, to so understand, and to feel so mentally integrated in society, to so participate in the management of public affairs, in the responsibilities, that the recriminations, the tensions which always occur when the power of decision is entrusted to a few individuals... did not happen there. The assemblies were public, the objections, the proposals publicly discussed, everybody being free, as in the syndical assemblies, to participate in the discussions, to criticize, propose, etc. Democracy extended to the whole of social life. In most cases even the individualists [locals who had not joined the collective] could take part in the deliberations. They were given the same hearing as the collectivists.[21]

If not every village inhabitant was a member of the collective, there might be a municipal council in addition to the collective assembly, so that no one would be excluded from decision-making.

The work of the collectives was conducted by teams of workers, headed by a delegate chosen by each team. The land was divided into cultivated zones. Team delegates worked like the others. There were no special privileges. After the day’s work, delegates from all the work teams met on the job and made necessary technical arrangements for the next day’s work... The assembly made final decisions on all important questions and issued instructions to both the team delegates and the administrative commission.”[22]

During the Spanish Civil War, workers in occupied factories coordinated an entire wartime economy. Anarchist organizations that had been instrumental in bringing about the revolution, namely the CNT labor union, often provided the foundations for the new society. Especially in the industrial city of Barcelona, the CNT lent the structure for running a worker-controlled economy — a task for which it had been preparing years in advance. Each factory organized itself with its own chosen technical and administrative workers; factories in the same industry in every locality organized into the Local Federation of their particular industry; all the Local Federations of a locality organized themselves into a Local Economic Council “in which all the centers of production and services were represented”; and the local Federations and Councils organized into parallel National Federations of Industry and National Economic Federations.[49]

its actually syndicalism

2019-10-23 16:41:31 UTC  

@Pelth and no, if we are simply talking about economic systemts, we do not need to talk about outside forces
we want to know if a system can work by itself, and in this case, it did

2019-10-23 16:41:47 UTC  

we know this because it didnt crumble in itself

2019-10-23 16:41:54 UTC  

Ignoring external threats is your folly

2019-10-23 16:41:57 UTC  

Overall, voting for capabilities for certain people is mob rule and exploitive of itself

2019-10-23 16:41:57 UTC  

GG @ayayron, you just advanced to level 6!

2019-10-23 16:42:02 UTC

2019-10-23 16:42:17 UTC  

@Pelth this system is also practiced in the Zapatista municipalities, and it's still alive today

2019-10-23 16:42:21 UTC  

itll just lead to promises

2019-10-23 16:42:40 UTC
