    The governance of the people by the people. Substantive democracy!!

    A society where property is owned in common and no one person can exploit the labour of another, and where there is no definition of poverty and rich - since they wouldnt exist.

    How exactly to achieve these goals is not understood fully at present, but they still remain goals which we aspire to create and potentially understand as an alternative to our present system.

    To say that the communists have answered these questions is simply wishful thinking, While workers in a communist society may be better off then in a capitalist society, people in a capitalist society are better then in a feudalist society, that doesnt mean that capitalism has answered these problems, because it obviously hasn't. I myself am an anarcho-syndicalist I believe in the running of the economy in the hand of Unions, and social affairs run in an anarchist style. But as in all philosophies there is problems with this,
    When I say Unions I dont mean the modern current meaning for union. Im more talking about CNT and FAI in the spanish revolution, and the IWW. The only real way to answer the question would mean many more centuries of trial and error. But I'm confident that one day we the poor will inherit the world.

    A Society in which the means of production - the assets used to produce goods and services - are owned collectively and managed by the community and not by a small minority of Capitalists. This will ensure that all economic decisions represent the will and aspirations of the majority of working people, and not the pursuit of profit by a privelaged minority. This will allow ordinary people to better control the world in which they live, in contrast to the alienation of Capitalism. All goods and services will belong to the workers that produced them, and it is they who will recieve the monetary benefits, giving new meaning and substance to our work, in addition to equalizing incomes.

    All necessities - a basic standard of nutrition, housing, healthcare, and education - will be provided for free by a decentralized government based on the principles of direct democracy, not unrepresentitive bourgeois democracy. Thus, no citizen of the socialist society will be allowed to suffer under poverty.
