Ideally the Dictatorship of the Proletariat that is used to lead us to an inclusive democracy should be run by democratic workers councils and Anarcho-syndicalist unions (i.e through the Left Libertarian freed markets and Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free markets and free competition methods mentioned below), instead of a Socialist Party. Though this isn’t a ‘deal breaker’


I support freed markets until we get business co-ops (via the reduction in scope of firms and an increased individualization of business organization. Co-ops would emerge as a function of the interaction of these much more narrowly focused enterprises) and then the below Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free markets and free competition and markets can be implemented with very little risk

Anarcho Libertarian free markets and competitions are markets that combine Benjamin Tucker’s free market views with Five Star Movement’s free market views (like on market regulation that leads to a post equal-equitable economic market).  Artificial markets operates very much like traditional markets, but they use labour vouchers or personal credit which would be given more weight than traditional money. This helps secure real freedom of choice without incurring the adverse effects associated with real markets. Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free markets and free competition fuses these ideas together

I support Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free markets and free competition as an eventual transition stage since that would yield an libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society which is what I eventually want. Freed markets may be better than this until the Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free markets and free competition yields an libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society , but as a transition stage, freed markets will take longer to lead to a libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society hence why I only support freed markets until its viable (until we get business co-ops) to do Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free market and free competition transitional stage switch to lead to that libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society

Free competition and markets in general are less bad means than the anarcho communism means for the development of the above anarchist society. 

Through Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free competition and markets, interests, profits, rents and usury might luckily disappear (and if not then at least we would have done what left acceleration does in forcing a socialistic society due to consequences of this which would force our country to go way left on the economy) 

In a Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free market, people would get paid in proportion to how much labor they did and that exploitation or usury would take place if they were not doing that So Anarcho Libertarian Artificial banking could cause more money to be available and in turn this might allow proliferation of new businesses which would then raise demand for labor. Thus this would vindicate the labor theory of value due to equal amounts of labor would receive equal pay


I support Inclusive Democracy. I want equal distribution of economic power. Therefore, I feel that all macro economic decisions, like, decisions on running the whole economy should be made by the citizen body , collectively and without representation. But I feel that, micro economic decisions at work or at home should be made by the individual production or consumption unit via a proposed system of vouchers.

I want an eventual economic democracy that is the authority of the community in the economic sphere

I feel that economic democracy today is only viable at the level of the confederated demoi. This involves the ownership and control of the means of production by the demos. 

This would be radically different from the capitalist and 'socialist' growth economy. This would be different from various types of collectivist capitalism, like workers' control and the milder versions which are suggested by post-Keynesian social democrats. Therefore, the demos, becomes the authentic unit of economic life.

To get to this ideal system, demotic self reliance, demotic ownership of the means of production, and confederal allocation of resources are prerequisites to achieve this

Demotic self reliance means radical decentralization and collective self sufficiency, in the sense of relying on the resources of other demos' instead of via autarky.

Demotic ownership of productive resources leads to the politicization of the economy (the real synthesis of economy and polity).  This is like this because economic decision making is carried out by the entire community, via demotic assemblies, where the people make the fundamental macro economic decisions which affect the whole community (as citizens, instead of as vocationally oriented groups like workers)

Workers, apart from their participatory work in the demotic decisions regarding the overall planning targets, would also participate in this (in the above broad sense of groups who are vocationally oriented) in their respective workplace assemblies. This process would be of modifying and implementing the Democratic Plan and also in running their own workplace.

The resource allocation of Confederal is a must because, although self reliance does allow many decisions to be made at the community level, there is a lot to be decided at the regional, national and supra-national level. 

However, the delegates (other than than representatives) are the ones with specific the mandates from the demotic assemblies whom are involved in a confederal demotic planning process that, in conjunction with the proposed system of vouchers, would effect the resource allocation in a confederal inclusive democracy.

A model of economic democracy, as an important cog of an inclusive democracy. The main characteristic of this proposed model, which also differentiates this from the socialist planning models, is that it explicitly presupposes a stateless, moneyless and market less economy which have precluded private wealth accumulation and privilege institutionalisation for some sections of society, while not relying on a ‘mythical’ post scarcity state of abundance, or sacrificing our freedom of choice. The proposed system will do the following: meet the real needs of all citizens, which requires basic macro economic decisions must be made democratically, securing freedom of choice, this requires that the individual make important decisions affecting their own life (like what work to do, what to consume etc.)

We need democratic planning, that would involve a process with feedback between workplace, demotic and confederal assemblies

I feel that meeting basic needs is a fundamental human right that should be guaranteed to all who are in a physical condition to offer a minimal amount of work (satisfaction according to need) as opposed to having health care or public parks be free for all (consumption need model) and people being able to make particular need requests that are based on consumption,  addressed case by case by others in the economy

Remuneration according to the ‘need’ of each person' should only be applied in exceptional cases of basic needs and not to all of the needs that are defined as needs by the citizens' assemblies (as the Inclusive Democracy project declares). This would go beyond economic justice, and would be applied through norm four in appropriate situations such as in cases of illness, catastrophe, incapacity etc 

I feel that the equal distribution of power in institutions (like workplaces, households, educational institutions, economic institutions, cultural institutions etc) and self management should be secured by creating people assemblies to be involved in each workplace or education place  (i.e workers', student and teachers' assemblies respectively) that, within the framework of citizens' demotic decisions that are taken by assemblies in regards to the general aims of production, education and culture respectively , make all vital decisions about the functioning aspects of these places.

These assemblies should be federated at the regional and confederal levels in order for the confederal assemblies of workers, teachers, students etc can get involved with a constant interaction process with the citizens' confederal assemblies to define the general interest of society

There should be a removal of the divide between the household and the public realm. Maybe the oikos and its values can be a substitute for the polis and its politics

This may involve dissolving the public into the private or we can go the other way, and at least try to remove the public/private divide by dissolving all of our private space into a singular public, a socialized or fraternal state sphere but in a V Lenin New Economics way which allows some privatization . 

Another idea would be to recognize that the household belongs to the private realm,  but to  'democratise' the household in the sense that its relationships should take on democratic characteristics and that the household should take a form which is consistent with the freedom of all its members.

However the bigger issue is sustaining and enhancing the autonomy of the public snd private realms, such institutional arrangements should generally be adopted to introduce democracy at the household level and the social realm level  (i.e in the workplace, educational establishment and so on) while at the same time enhancing the institutional arrangements of political and economic democracy

So I feel that effective democracy is only doable if free time is distributed equally among all citizens, and that requires ending the present hierarchical relations within the household, the workplace and other places. 

Moreover, social realm democracy (like in the household), should require institutional arrangements that recognize the household’s character as a need satisfier and thus integrate the care and services that the household provides into the general scheme of needs satisfaction
