Democracy has always been a threat to capitalism. That's why they've never really allowed it to take place. Capitalism is and always will be a system of private corporate tyranny and for this reason real democracy is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism, as capitalism is incompatible with democracy.

"The basic premise of everything you read here is fairly simple and straightforward: we live in a tyrannical dystopia that’s driving humanity to its doom, and we need to wake up from the propaganda indoctrination and egoic delusions which keep us complying with the status quo so that we can use the power of our numbers to overthrow our oppressors and create a healthy world. We come at it from countless angles using all different approaches, but that’s the basic message and the idea underpinning it all."

"David talks to the historian of Russia Edward Acton about how the Russian Revolution might have unfolded if the Left SRs and not the Bolsheviks had come out on top. Could Lenin have been sidelined? Might the Terror have been avoided? And what would it have meant to the wider world if revolutionary socialism had been liberated from Marxist communism?"

A coherent approach to abolishing police and prisons leads to other issues very quickly: a problem of the state as such, a problem of any kind of state security force by extension, the problem of the state being related to and infused with other kinds of hierarchies (such as but not limited to enforcement of capitalism, and racist and patriarchal divisions of power and labor within political and economic hierarchies, empire, colonization, etc.), the necessity of developing self-managed organizations as alternatives to hierarchical organizations, the necessity of aiming towards a self-managed political/economic/social world, the necessity of meeting needs of people along the way, the necessity of mutual aid and direct action to meet short term, mid term, and long term needs of people, the necessity of groups uniting and federating for common goals, the necessity of developing a plurality of good-enough ways of dealing with disputes and harms, and ultimately the necessity of social revolution etc. All of a sudden social revolution for and through self-management and against hierarchy becomes crucial to what may at first seem like one much more simple issue. Abolishing not just the police but essential policing functions is something not on the table for states to do; states require some kind of violent enforcement agency to enforce class rule (within and beyond the context of capitalism).

Usufruct Collective · Kick the Cops off your BlockKICK THE COPS OFF YOUR BLOCK:  Introduction: For contemplative and practical purposes, we need worldviews and theories that have explanatory power, that trace causes, effects, forms, functions…

Different Kinds of Social Movement Organizations:

There are multiple kinds of social movement organizations people can form or join to meet needs and contribute to liberatory social transformation. There is community organizing, workplace organizing, student organizing, and beyond (FARJ, 2008). The following section will be a brief overview of some of the most important kinds of social movement organizations. The following kinds of groups can be infused with the above elements of liberatory social movement organizations. It is important to note that the following kinds of groups do not necessarily have liberatory qualities and wise content. Social movement organizations and participants thereof must develop and recreate such elements while adapting to relevant variables.

Community assemblies are organizations people can start or join in regards to specific blocks, neighborhoods, villages, towns, and cities to meet needs through collective action (Bookchin, 2007, Ocalan, 2014). Community assemblies can use self-management to make decisions. Community assemblies can form direct action committees and implement direct actions and direct action campaigns against specific political and economic hierarchies. Community assemblies can potentially oppose any kind of domination, exploitation, and oppression within or even beyond a given region. Community assemblies can also help develop common infrastructure and create a plurality of mutual aid committees and projects according to people’s needs and desires. Communal and intercommunal economics would be self-managed by assemblies of people who need and interface with the economy. Such communal and intercommunal commons would be rooted in meeting needs and desires of people as well as mutual aid and responsibility to upkeep the commons through collective agreements to share the implementation of decisions. Community assemblies and co-federations thereof can be both alternative forms of governance that provide self-managed ways to make decisions and meet needs AND oppositional forces against class relations and hierarchy more broadly.

Labor unions enable workers to meet needs and better their conditions through workplace organizing in opposition to class relations and exploitation. Labor unions can utilize direct action and organize in self-managed ways autonomous from state and business interests. Radical student unions are groups where students can organize against hierarchies on campus, within the education system, and beyond. And while the various functions of tenants unions can be done via community assemblies that also have other functions, tenants unions can be formed when needed and desired. Some tenant struggles can even culminate in the development of common housing connected to community assemblies! There are also prisoners’ unions that can enable prisoners to struggle against the prison system. Various Issue specific direct action groups (and committees of groups) can exist to are focus on something like stopping a gentrification development, or some particularly anti-ecological project, or stopping a war, or stopping a prison from being built, stopping a racist, patriarchal, or xenophobic policy, or confronting fascist and far right mobilizations, or a myriad of struggles against domination, exploitation, and oppression. And there are many issue specific mutual aid groups (and committees of various kinds of groups) that can exist focused around provisioning general and specific needs for participants, social movements, the most impoverished, and people more generally.

The Good Place:

In a good society, self-management would flourish on every scale. In a good society, there would be non-hierarchical, directly democratic, and participatory community assemblies (and co-federations thereof) with embedded councils and rotating delegates, means of existence and production would be held and managed in common, politics and economics would meet needs and desires of people, direct collective decisions would be made through dialogue, people would share in the implementation of policies in agreed upon ways, everyone would be free from domination, exploitation, and oppression, and everyone would be free to make collective and individual decisions about what they do bounded and enriched by the freedoms of others to do the same (Kropotkin, 1906, Bookchin, 2007, Ocalan, 2014, Sixth Commission of the EZLN, 2016, Ostrom, 2021, Dirik, 2022, Usufruct Collective, 2022). Such a goal (and principles in relation to such a goal) shapes the general strategy that should be used which shapes the more variable sub-strategies and tactics that should be used (Correa and Walmsley, 2022).

"He loved science and deeply respected it, but, like many of us, he soon came to the conclusion that to follow the career of a scientific man meant to join the camp of the Philistines, and that there was plenty of other and more urgent work that he could do."

On July 18, 1936 rebels gained control of about one third of Spain following a failed coup attempt the previous day, marking the beginning of the Spanish Civil War and Revolution which would successfully collective Spain under workers control, up to 75% in Anarchist strongholds, for the next 3 years .
