I gotcha. It just feels to me like there are so many opportunities for the capitalists to abuse this system for their own profit and power. People are easily manipulated, even when they think what they’re doing is for the good of the community.
Maybe the factory doesn’t sell, but it could still very much feed the capitalists through manipulation of the members of the council. My cynical view: It may not be immediate, but it will be inevitable.
@danc4498@lugal I think the common anarchist counter to that is the very fact that they’re anarchists; a population defined by how they identify and dismantle hierarchy.
They don’t need a perfect solution which is impenetrable, they just need to keep the power with the people and maintain their anarchism.
There’s an acknowledgement and acceptance of the fact that their work would never be ‘done’.
