Worth noting that I am not advocating for unrestricted free trade. But the person I was responding to seems to be pro-capitalism so when I make my arguments for a post-capitalist future (depending on your definition of capitalism, as I mention in my above comment), I use terms that a pro-capitalist can understand. That is, I couch my language in real world effects of the arrangement of capital, and advocate for a world where firms are managed by collectives. In familiar company I identify as a libertarian communist. For anyone spooked by this, I am referring to a voluntary society where people who agree that collective management is best work with others who feel the same way. And yes this can be accomplished in the current society. As such a plan would involve coordination with others, I necessarily must discuss it with others, so here I am. To the person I am responding to: I would suggest listening to some lectures from the Mises Institute on youtube. They aren't my people, but they have some nice theory if you want to know what they think. I do think that if you want to have a voluntary society, it is worth understanding Austrian economic theory. |

You say you'd refer to what you're talking about as "libertarian communist." I'm not worried about this term, I'm just curious! Do you know of a resource that lays out and summarizes some of these ideas? I don't expect you to teach me them, but it sounds like you might know where to even begin. I don't even know what terms to search for right now!
