Libertarian Socialist Confederation

I've slowly been updating my Libertarian Socialist Compendium, and have finished this redraft. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome!

The Libertarian Socialist Compendium

by The Anarchist Communes of Kassimo

Socialism entails the social ownership of the instruments of production and the self-management of work.

Libertarians value freedom over authority, favouring decentralised, non-hierarchical forms of organisation.

Libertarian Socialists desire the abolition of state power and class exploitation, through the transformation of social relations on the basis of freedom, equality, and solidarity.

Below are listed the many currents of libertarian socialism, alongside some introductory texts.

ANARCHISM

Anarcho-Communism

"Anarchist communism stresses egalitarianism and the abolition of social hierarchy and class distinctions that arise from unequal wealth distribution, the abolition of capitalism and money, and the collective production and distribution of wealth by means of voluntary associations. In anarchist communism, the state and property no longer exist. Each individual and group is free to contribute to production and to satisfy their needs based on their own choice. Systems of production and distribution are managed by their participants."

Anarcho-Syndicalism

"The aim of the anarcho-syndicalist union is to act as an organisational force in the daily lives of the working class. We seek to organise workplace and community resistance, and to constantly link this to the need to overthrow the double yoke of capital and the state. We seek the overthrow of capitalism, and for it to be replaced by the self-managed libertarian communist society."

Mutualism

"A Social System Based on Equal Freedom, Reciprocity, and the Sovereignty of the Individual Over Himself, His Affairs, and His Products; Realized Through Individual Initiative, Free Contract, Cooperation, Competition, and Voluntary Association for Defense Against the Invasive and for the Protection of Life, Liberty and Property of the Non-invasive."

Platformism & Especifismo

"The only approach which can lead to a solution of the general organizational problem is, as we see it, the recruitment of anarchism's active militants on the basis of specific theoretical, tactical and organizational positions, which is to say on the basis of a more or less perfected, homogeneous programme."

Individualist Anarchism

"The divine is God’s affair; the human cause is humanity’s. My affair is neither the divine nor the human; it is not the good, the true, the just, the free, etc., but only my own, and it is not general, but is—unique, as I am unique. For me, there is nothing greater than me!"

Socialism or Barbarism

"The whole history of the past century is there to prove that the proletariat represents, for the first time in human history, not only a class in revolt against exploitation but a class positively capable of overthrowing the exploiters and of organizing a free and humane society. Its victory, and the fate of humanity, are in its hands."

OTHER LIBERTARIAN SOCIALISTS

Communalism & Social Ecology

"It is my contention that Communalism is the overarching political category most suitable to encompass the fully thought out and systematic views of social ecology, including libertarian municipalism and dialectical naturalism. As an ideology, Communalism draws on the best of the older Left ideologies – Marxism and anarchism, more properly the libertarian socialist tradition – while offering a wider and more relevant scope for our time."

Democratic Confederalism

"In contrast to a centralist and bureaucratic understanding of administration and exercise of power confederalism poses a type of political self-administration where all groups of the society and all cultural identities can express themselves in local meetings, general conventions and councils. Politics becomes a part of everyday life."

In his test results he gets bottom left and admits “although I have a lot of political opinions that are very left-leaning, I usually find something to sympathize with in right-wing arguments, too.” if anything he’s a Neoliberal, maybe you could stretch it into a Social Democrat. Also this thread, the first post is really all that’s good in it,

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=217704 hits the nail on the head. Keep in mind that the game is meant to be satirical in of itself, and is a caricature of real politics.

Well, actually, I am 100% in favor of people having a good time; what concerns me is the irresponsible manner in which this was poorly written.
