Anarchism

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

I find anarchists (more specifically ancoms) advocate for a very vague gift economy. To my knowledge, there aren't any good works on how exactly this type of economy would be run.

Meanwhile, I find there are many works for a communist economy, such as Paul Cockshott's Towards a New Socialism, or @dessalines@lemmy.ml's summary of it.

Anarchist economies must be free markets, by definition. Societies may share freely internally, but the logistics and human factors in supply chains mean that trading and mercantile behavior are almost guaranteed to persist between communities.
