RE: Solutions to bringing about a stateless society, part two of many: alternative ways of living - communes

Thank you for your post and upvote!

I agree, i think above the size of a homestead or commune i think we would encounter 'the tragedy of the commons' and the Mises price calculation problem.

From what i can see full scale anarcho communism was tried in Revolutionary Catalonia, it created a situation where someone must manage the redistribution of wealth and resources, so while this area was started as anarcho communist the central committees needed for redistributing wealth and food became akin to a communist government fairly quickly and the revolution itself required the usual piles of bodies.

Also without specialists in their respective fields running their own farms and livestock there wasn't a whole lot of intelligent management of resources resulting in shortages.

I benefited a lot from this in improving my understanding of the Spanish civil war and Revolutionary Catalonia

Sort:  

Yeah, that's always been my thought: "wouldn't the distributors of the goods become the government?"

Thanks for the videos.
