Socialist and libertarian? How does that work disbdnf
They're literally the opposite?
"socialism is when the government does stuff, right?"
It's where the government controls the means of production yeehaw
no that is state-capitalism
which is used for the purpose of reaching socialism
i think it's bullshit, and we should hit full socialism instead
Hm
i would be a full fledged anarchist if i did not believed we need a military and police
Has there ever been a socialist country? They always half-ass it
but mostly everything should be controlled by syndicates, or unions
under a direct democracy
@shimmy yes
Anarchy is just Minecraft creative mode in my head
Seems legit
look up Revolutionary Catalonia, Paris Commune, Ukraine
That's a lot of effort
Revolutionary Catalonia is my favorite
wait here
"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]
The Barcelona congress of all Catalan collectives, on August 28, 1937, provides an example of their coordinating activities and decisions. The collectivized shoe factories needed 2 million pesetas credit. Because of a shortage of leather, they had to cut down on hours, though they still paid all their workers full time salaries. The Economic Council studied the situation, and reported that there was no surplus of shoes. The congress agreed to grant credit to purchase leather and to modernize the factories in order to lower the prices of the shoes. Later, the Economic Council outlined plans to build an aluminum factory, which was necessary for the war effort. They had located available materials, secured the cooperation of chemists, engineers, and technicians, and decided to raise the money through the collectives. The congress also decided to mitigate urban unemployment by working out a plan with agricultural workers to bring new areas into cultivation with the help of unemployed workers from the cities."
