I agree with a lot of anarcho-syndicalist ideals.

I would never say I am one because,
A. It has a stupid name
B. People who tend to support it are fucktards drawn by its stupid name
C. No country will ever adopt it because it has a stupid name and is comprised of fucktards

I used to be into more traditionals strands of anarchism until I found out that a huge portion of the people involved in the anarchist community/environment (at least where I've participated) hold as essentialist 'enlightenment' ideals as liberals and old school marxists. I eventually found much more in common with the few neo-situationists and post-anarchists in my area and writings in those strands that to me resonated more with the current state of things.

I feel like Chomsky misunderstands the nature of power, and how hard it was for humans to create a culture that accepts the monopoly of violence.

When he talks about anarcho-anything, really what I hear is warlordism and constant territory disputes.

What I can agree with however, is that capitalism could have a better arbitration of the ownership of the means of production. But I mean, this can be solved within the capitalist system anyway, like the Mondragon Corporation.
>>
>>9246206
Whilst Mondragon is worker operated and fairly democratic it would be a mistake to call it "anarchist" or "communist" on the count it's still fairly hierarchical.

>>9246231
No, it isn't. Reading up on the details of mondragon will reveal that it has quite an element of hierarchy in its structure still, although it incorporates a fairly well worker democratic structure.

Also, you confuse worker-coop organizational structure with the economy of syndicalism, which conflates with a participation in a market economy. Helps to know the meaning of the vocabulary you use.
>>
>>9246244
>yes, they do. all profits go to basque country.
You're a fucking idiot.

>Vincent Navarro wrote that from a business perspective, Mondragon is successful in matching efficiency with solidarity and democracy. However, he writes that the number of employees who are not owners have increased more rapidly than worker-owners, to a point that in some companies, for example in the supermarket chains owned by Mondragon, the first are a much larger group than the second.

syndicalism is not devoid of hierarchy. all unions have a hierarchical structure. the wages are agreed upon democratically between all members, which is the difference between trade unionism and syndicalism.

as a member of the ICA, they agree to their principles. you cant separate a federation of worker unions from syndicalism. that's how syndicalism works.

This is a recent alteraion and was never how Marx defined Socialism. I don't think Marx thought very highly of democracy as an inherent principle either and only presumed it to be a product of a Socialist means of production rather than its operating principle as recent Leftists tend to imagine, which I believe is really just a disguised invasion from the Social Democrat tradition.

This is where you go wrong. Not everyone who works for Mondragon is a worker-owner, a sizeable amount of them are just regular wage-labourers.

Its essentially in the commitment that the dictatorship of the proletariate should be taken quite seriously and literally but not in the naive Stalinist sense of dictatorship.
That rather than having idealistic trust in the the contignently dependent and arbitrarily produced consensus of public opinion that it is the role of any Marxist rather instead to entrust the analytically devised platform above all else, against all else. That the downfall of Lenin and Stalin was precisely not in their institutions of power but instead ever allowing policy to be justified by contingent measurements of public desire which is illegitimate ever to presume.
>>
>>9246309
all members are wage-labourers. because some people choose not to join and thus forgo surplus does not mean that it isn't worker owned. again, this is how syndicalism works.

not being worker owned disqualifies it from the ICA which it is a member in good standing.

Not worker-owners. Assuming we're talking about "wage-labourers" as the term is used in radical leftist contexts.
>because some people choose not to join and thus forgo surplus does not mean that it isn't worker owned
They don't choose not to join anymore than any other employee chooses not to be the manager. They were simply hired by the corporation on those terms.

And, yes, that does mean it's not worker owned as not all of the workers own it. Rather it might be more accurate to call it worker-managed.

>this is how syndicalism works.
Yes, syndicalism has wage-labourer and unrepresented workers. Absolutely, that's why McDonalds is syndicalist.
>>
>>9246328
Stalin was a pragmatist in the worst sense both in terms of retaining his own position and in his understanding of policy which led to the dishevelled half assed comedy of the Soviet Economy. All from a result of him courting favor with everyone from private farmers to the Orthodox Church when he foolish felt necessary.
His issue was not going far enough by moderating the expanse of Communism and persecution of dissent and should have instead instantly constituted the platform as the platform whenever and wherever possible.
>>
>>9246346
if people choose not to join the co-op, that does not mean it is worker owned. all members of the co-op gain surplus and all workers, members or not, democratically manage wages. all members get a wage.

no worker of mondragon is unrepresented. they all get a single vote. the only difference is, that co-op members gain from surplus.

it's not really that hard. this is the way all co-ops are set up under the ICA, a federation of co-ops, aka syndicalism.
>>
>>9246321
>You imply maintaining such a culture is a good thing, why is that?

Well, less personal violence for sure. Also, without any justice system, there is no justice. Unless you think blood feuding is justice.

Because the monopoly of violence ensure that people don't constantly use violence against each other within it's sphere of influence.

The genocide was exactly a product of the pragmatism and acting outside the platform. If you don't think so then I can hardly see how you can have a problem with it while considering yourself a Communist.
>>
>>9246357
>if people choose not to join the co-op
As I just said it's not that they choose not to, it's that they're hired under a different contract to the worker-owners. Likewise your boss is hired and entrusted a certain level of privileges and responsibilities that you are not, this does not mean you chose not to be the boss.

And as a matter of fact the majority of their employees aren't members. You can't really claim "worker ownership" when less than half of the workforce aren't owners.

> all members get a wage.
Obviously, but this isn't really a big syndicalist point given that private enterprises do this too. If they didn't then they would be practising slavery.

>no worker of mondragon is unrepresented
Yes there are. That's kind of what not being a member means, you don't get to participate in the co-op. Likewise in private enterprises non-union members don't get a say in the union.

>they all get a single vote
Explain to me, how do you vote in a co-op you aren't part of?
>>
>>9246389
it's defined by the vote, as long as it does alienate members or weaken the autonomy of the co-op.

yeah, that's cool if that's your opinion. it won't effect mandragon and the ICA. they'll keep going the way it always has.
>>
>>9246405
>it's defined by the vote

So you're saying a co-op can volunteer to be exploited by another and then you say that its not exploitation
This is the same argument Capitalists use to say a worker can't be exploited because he voluntarily accepted the contract
>>
>>9246365
There are also some naked hot opinions in this post.

>Well, less personal violence for sure.
How come?
>Also, without any justice system, there is no justice.
Why?
Also, define "justice".

>Because the monopoly of violence ensure that people don't constantly use violence against each other within it's sphere of influence.
This actually is an argument, there's logic to this. But I still don't think it's very good.

This is true. But it fundamentally ignores the anarchist view that we've reached a point in society where it's possible to keep the peace democratically without the need to have laws hierarchically enforced.

Case it point, it is essentially unanimous among everyone that murder should not be tolerated. It is also essentially unanimous among everyone that people should be entitled to fair trials. On top of this people have a vested interest in maintaining competent law enforcement and investigatory bodies with access to the necessary resources. Ergo it should be possible to community organize services like police (or something like police, I understand anarchists don't like that), courts and penal/rehabilitative facilities.
>>
I was an anarchist for a few days when I was sixteen. Ordered Chomsky books and listened to hours of his posturing, whispering and croaking.
>>
>>9246401
anyone who wants to join, can. those who work under a different contract do so voluntarily.

again, it is a pre-requisite to ICA membership, which it is in good standing. argue semantics all you want, this is the last time i'm going around the round about with you.

all workers get a vote, member or non-member alike. the difference in membership is distribution surplus, a large part which goes to the country itself. again, this is how syndicalist co-ops differ from trade unions.

primary members get a vote, other parts of the co-op have representation, like a trade union, those at that level choose their representative.

the clerical, administration, and labourers vote on wage disparity and distribution through member votes and representative votes.

as per the ICA.
>>
>>9246423
>Also, define "justice".

The arbitration of harm.

I think it interesting that you argue that something like police, courts and penal facilities should exist, but they already exist, so what is the problem exactly?

Almost nothing about our current system is perfect, but what do you expect really? There's millions of people involved. If you ask me, it's a miracle the cops even show up and do their job if you call them, which doesn't happen, mind you, in many states in the world, and if it does happen they'll extort you.
>>
>>9246411
in abstract yes, in practice no. it would be a violation of both co-op and ICA bylaws.
>>
>>9246436
How on Earth do you expect it to work in practice if it doesn't even work in theory? Absolutely nonsensical statement
>>
>>9246431
> those who work under a different contract do so voluntarily.
Yes, 60% of the workforce simply don't want representation and more pay.

Do you not realize you sound exactly like capitalist-shills when they say wage-labour is "voluntary"?

>it is a pre-requisite to ICA membership,
The thing about this argument is it's a pure appeal to authority.

>all workers get a vote
No they don't, this is what not being apart of a co-op means.

> this is how syndicalist co-ops differ from trade unions.
By being capitalist, I see.

>other parts of the co-op have representation, like a trade union, those at that level choose their representative.
And this is why non-worker-owners don't have representation. They can't elect a representative to the co-op as they're not a part of it.

>the clerical, administration, and labourers vote on wage disparity and distribution through member votes and representative votes.
Except the non-members.

Unless you have some sources saying that non-worker-owners get to participate in the democracy I'm not sure why you're so keen on insisting that Mondragon is pure syndicalism.
>>
>>9246437
like it has been since 1956
>>
>>9246435
> so what is the problem exactly?
I dunno, ask a real anarchist.

But from my understanding of anarchism it's that modern capitalist states and structures aren't democratic. If the state or your employers want to do something everyone is essentially powerless to stop it. And unfortunately virtually all liberal democracies and private industries are very much alike.

>but what do you expect really?
As said before I'm not an anarchist.
>>
>>9246440
yes, if they were denied membership then mondragon would be expelled from the ICA.

it's not a appeal to authority. i'm simply stating that as a member of the ICA, mondragon comply with it's membership principles.

yes, they do.

no, by giving representation to all workers, members and non-members a like.

in capitalism, there is not vote, there is no choice, there is no distribution negotiations.
>>
>>9246441
And itts been failing to live up to anti-exploitative principles during that time. Mondragon at this moment has a ton of workers employed in South America who are totally excluded from any decision making and their deserved share of the surplus value.

it's also not more pay. all wages are agreed democratically. the forgo co-op responsibilities and thus do not benefit from surplus.
>>
>>9246448

>>
>>9246447
>yes, if they were denied membership then mondragon would be expelled from the ICA.
Once again, see below.
>it's not a appeal to authority.
It is, saying "Because the ICA says so" is a text-book appeal to authority. It's possible that the ICA is simply wrong, or that their rules are not what you claim them to be, these are the holes in this line of thinking.

>yes, they do.
>no, by giving representation to all workers, members and non-members a like.
And as I said in that post, do you have a source that says non-worker-owners get representation.

Because, given my understanding of what a "co-op" means that seems totally counter-intuitive.

>in capitalism, there is not vote, there is no choice, there is no distribution negotiations.
Of course. But from my understanding it seems like Mondragon is capitalist for 60% of their workforce.

Mate, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat yourself when you're fucking wrong.

If you're not even IN a fucking co-op you can't participate in the fucking co-op. For much the same reason I can't participate in Mondragon either, Jesus.

I'm not sure I understand your goal here. It sounds like things would stay almost exactly the same.

Precisely, and things are pretty good. But they could be a little better by giving normal people more control over the things that things that effect them like their work and the law.

This is the point of anarchism. They don't want society to turn into Mad Max. They want it to be a better version of what we already have.

Because the goal of "meeting human needs" is not a motivating goal. Why the fuck should I work for the purpose of random people living miles away that I don't care about?

>Now if a parent may own his child (within the framework of non-aggression and runaway-freedom), then he may also transfer that ownership to someone else. He may give the child out for adoption, or he may sell the rights to the child in a voluntary contract. In short, we must face the fact that the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children.

Like he understood Vietnam and Venezuela?

The Chomp's typical of American exceptionalism, except instead of an "America's the greatest and is responsible for all the good things in the world" chauvinism, he's got that annoying strain of "America's the worst and responsible for everything bad in the world" so typical among American liberals.

Like when he blames "American consumers" for the problems of narco-trafficking in SA, while staunchly defending Cuba, Venezuela, and Brazilian communists. I'm about halfway through his "hopes and dreams" book, and not once does he seem to even imply that it might be South Americas job to limpiar su propia casa.

I bet he's going green with the recent election in Argentine and the coup in Brazil.

Because capitalism has been shown to be the best economic system, both in theory and practice.

Also, it has not been established that a large-scale, complex nation could be successful without a state.

This. Chomsky is like the prototypical liberal, overcompensating for american nationalism by putting on blinders and going absurdly far in the other direction.
>>
Would Chomsky have condemned him if he was named Paul Paught? Take your glasses of Professor, he said he doesn't like people that wear them.
>>
>>9252413
Chomsky did condemn him.

He just followed it up by pointing out Indonesia which is backed by the US was committing similar atrocities in East Timor.

>>9252062
A parent who feels incapable of taking care of a child or neglects the role of parenthood so have the right to sell a child to a more responsible parent. This I agree with.
But I find it amusing how all criticisms of Rothbard boil down to this one viewpoint he has about children's rights.

Sorry OP, I'm a catholic.
