I'm an anarcho-communist. I know response to that is you don't think it'd work on a country scale because people believe you need a government to organize a national system. Syndicalism would be the best, or council communism. Ultimately I think they too run too much of a risk of corruption and totalitarianism, hence why I'm an anarchist. But I do think they'd be less prone to it than any authoritarian communism or even the capitalist systems we have now due to their decentralized nature
You have seen completely through me, but I didn't mean to address that part. Every system has its flaws, and it defeats the purpose of my intention to you. I deeply respect that you responded to me (especially since you're all put together with tankies usually, thus getting an awful rep automatically), I'm just curious about people's reasons for choosing ideologies that aren't the norm usually because there's probably a right reason there. Thank you for this info again! :3
I want a system that provides for the people who make it function. And I see that communism, if used in a centralized government, gives too much power to the politicians. It's a breeding ground for corruption and totalitarianism.
So to me the logical answer to that is have as decentralized a government as possible. And I think, if given the chance, people can and will organize themselves without the need of managers, bosses, or politicians. But it has to be natural, the people have to choose it. The CNT-FAI in the context of the Spanish Civil War is a good example of this.
But I know it's hard for people to view things beyond their own experiences. I started off as a trotskyist and slowly transitioned to more and more decentralized ideologies. It took me awhile till I finally understood the concept of anarchism and its arguments for how it could work. Because like many, I thought that without a government people would descend into chaos. What helped me was finding real world examples of anarchism in practice, like the CNT-FAI, Makhnovista, and Zapatistas (although they don't consider themselves anarchist)
