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.

    If we’re talking about anti-authoritarian marxists, sure. If we’re talking about marxist-leninists or other traditional marxists then no our goals are fundamentally incompatible because they are against self-determination of the people.

    Abolishing private property to replace it with State property, and replacing the bourgeoisie with a State bureaucracy full of privileges… that’s not a revolution. But fortunately we’ve had over a century of leninist counterrevolution to think this through and make sure we NEVER repeat the same mistakes that turned the soviet revolution from early 1917 into a State-capitalist hell-hole after october, when Lenin and Trotski started executing the real revolutionaries (i.e. not power-hungry psychopaths like themselves).

    Reading Emma Goldman is always a good approach to those topics.

        What’s wrong with abolishing private property? That doesn’t mean going after individual possessions such as your bed or your clothes, but rather abolishing the State-mandated religious belief that some resources that would benefit people may not be used because they are “owned” by that remote person who makes not use of it.
