@AConfusedSocialDemocrat No, although I admire much of what Tolstoy stood for. I'm not religious, and my economic views tend more toward the communistic.

Good good.

Thanks

It's sad to see you were restricted. I really liked your posts. :'(

3)Yes, I fully support a classless, stateless, oppression-free society. 100%. If by "gradual reform" you mean electoral politics, then no, I don't think it's possible. I do think a dual-power model of gradualism (as expressed by many anarchists) is a viable path to change. I am ethically opposed to violent revolution.

Salut l'Enfermé.

To answer your questions:

1) Yes, I'm a socialist, if by "socialist" you mean one who supports worker control of the means of production and a mode of production that is democratic and beneficial for all society. No, I'm not a socialist, if by "socialist" you mean one who subscribes to Marxism-Leninism or supports state ownership, state management, and central planning of economic activity. More specifically, my views are somewhere between Inclusive Democracy and Distributism.

2) Yes, I'm anti-market, but I recognize that something like mutualism might be necessary during a transition period away from capitalism. My ultimate goal is to see the elimination of markets and money completely, with production being organized for the good of all society.

Hi again. Are you a socialist? Are you anti-market? Do you believe that our goal, a class-less, state-less society, where oppression and exploitation no longer exist, where everyone is free and equal, can be achieved through gradual reform or only revolution?
