It was a couple days ago that I was walking home from a friends house, and thinking about the various groups involved in RevLeft, the fact that, allthough it doesnt entirely make sense to me, both anarchists and various kinds of socialists are together in the same setting. I thought about this, and thought about a combination in theory. Anarchy is the absense of government, in my system, a complete revolution occurs, giving control to a group, and they institute a Democratic Socialist government. All federal and provincial governments dissolved, and democratic socialist councils instituted. All capital is logically socialised, including land, and in towns of less than 10,000 people, almost no government regulation. In towns exceeding 10,000 people, local socialist councils installed.
This allows for those skeptical to get a look at a glance, if this practice is limited to really small communities, than no counter-revolutionary coup could form strong enough to pose any threat. In a socialist system that has total jurisdiction over National, provincial, and metropolitan areas. To elaborate further, counties and cities above 10,000 people will of course have a socialist council. In a town in said county w/ LESS than 10,000 people, all local goverment of that town will be dissolved and left alone w/ nothing.
A friend of mine pointed out that everyone would exploit that and the system would be left fending for those people, but if this occurs, the communities would very quickly exceed 10,000 people, and a socialist council installed. The process of people seeking new terrain in the regulation free areas will spread the people and socialism in a less hostile way.
Karl Marx theorised that it would take 100's of years of socialism for communism to truly succeed. In this way, socialism will take its course naturally, and move along in a manner which will provide the system w/ the largest probability of success. This would ease the impetus of social reconstruction, and make housing shortages almost unheard of.
Please consider this, ponder it, and tell me what you think.
