RE: Jacobin article about Democratic Socialism

in #socialism6 years ago

Anarchist often times call themselves libertarian socialists or libertarian communists. In socialism you can own personal property and capital. But major industries that are used by the community will be unionized and democratized. Marxism is a thread of socialism, an opinion on how to get socialism, it is not socialism. Industrial unionism is far better, more peaceful, effective and democratic than marxism. Socialism and communism, when centralized, failed. You have to decentralize it and democratize, exactly what Marx and millions of other communists tried and are trying to do.

Sort:  

Petsonal property?
How about private property?

I own a piece of land on which I live.
As a socialist, communist or Marxist do you think I should be able to do so, or should my land be taken away?

Private property meaning capital. No one wants your parcel of land. All major capital fails because of greed, therefore democratize and organize it for the benefit of the surrounding community.
