  • Except that, comrade, the Prague Spring organisers opposed a secret police, which is imho a fascist element. It also focused on decentralisation of the economy. The KGB infiltrated some of the organisations.

    The Hungarian 1956 liberation struggle also demanded public ownership of land. While it is true that the CIA had been involved (e.g. inviting the fascist over for reform… gee, Hungary didn’t change much eh?), neither of the revolutions appear 100% bourgeoise. It would have helped to imprison the fascist, and not inform the public.

    While it is true that “pro-democracy” often in practice means “pro-bribery” (as oligarchs then are enabled to bribe politicians), the core problem is and remains money even being a thing of prestige.

    What should be the rule, is that society must be as resistant to corruption as possible. This is especially critical for factions and cooperations. That means:

    • All must be obliged to organise according to decentralised worker democracy. No boss, no master. Freedom of discussion, freedom of action.

    • No one who ever has led/owned a private company may be part of a group.

    • The groups must finance themselves through the principle of a moneyless, barterless gift economy, and mutual aid.

    • Full transparency of finances is required, including ultimate sources. This will encourage people to make the ‘stream’ of resources as direct as possible.

    • If a group does not adhere to even one of these principles, it is automatically considered defunct and disbands; and the members will be part of a group that does adhere to it. Those who made the group no longer adhere to all principles, will be societally barred from mutual aid (transport, food, housing, and so on). In other words, don’t be a corrupt person.

    • Groups can not be bigger than 150 people, but can mutually aid each other and cooperate in federations, which must also be organised through all above principles.


  • It doesn’t per se prioritise order inasmuch it prioritises state tyranny.

    I view tankies as marginally better than fascists in that they at least strive for universal healthcare, universal housing, and so on. But when it comes to being able to choose, they’re just as terrible.

    Order can only be achieved through freedom from intolerance. The true answer lies in anarchocommunism.
