Communist Economics Practice (tr) [machine translation]
Square newspaper Anarchist Economics Debate series, North American IWW members, we
continue with the third part of the article Scott Nappalos. The theory debate alive in the
summer of focus include the production of practice and theory in practice materialize. In
this final part of the essay, is located revolutionary impact on the economic practices of
state and economy fare anarchist communist critique of the theory of systems. Outside the
libCON article, which was published in many international anarchist site, we recognize the
text in previous articles in our series The Accumulation of Freedom: Writings also carries
its status as one of the ten Anarchist Economics section in the book.

Libertarian Communist Society
Production in such a communist society is based on two activities: how to measure what
people want and what they both collectively, as well as to produce in order to assure
accountability. Participants economy, which suggests what products they wish to measure up
to the people through conscious estimates. However, this proposal will go to make
decisions about which direction the economy by addressing the current usage of existing
products and the development taking place in the collective agreement is based on dialogue
structure.
For absolute and invariably scarce found some products, based on real needs, we need to
find a fair system. This is really urgent problem, but many economists still ignores it,
because the current situation in the revolutionary society and after the revolution -Next
of how we were going to deal with society, they create real practical to rely drafts. The
process of transformation of social production from the current production will create
shortages in the short term. In the long term, using our collective knowledge, the worst
jobs mechanization and unnecessary production of massive parts of the capitalist economy
(finance, military, prisons, rich entertainment, etc.) To eliminate, will offer
opportunities as more than enough for the whole world. In fact, we already produce more
than enough food to feed the whole world, but the prices are high to keep most of burning.
Many anarchist communist thinkers report suggests the concept for such foods. Such a
practice has been accepted and wartime sharing method is used for organ transplantation today.
Social revolution when it comes to the stage can produce enough for everyone, then "as
needs" principle can be applied and a more advanced and efficient in the industry will
reach this stage earlier than others naturally. However, at this stage, until reaching a
total of equal sharing system, ie equal per capita distribution is not only fair, it is
mandatory. Of patients, the elderly, pregnant women and women who have recently given
birth also goes without saying that should be considered ... [xix]
This, of course, the lion's share of the rationing system and went to the best slice of
the party elite, for example, is different from the rationing system in the Soviet Union.
For example, regarding today's organs are an international organization that sets the
order in which the greatest need and determining the most appropriate people. Who gets the
organ transplant, price, profession or not according to the person's perceived value, the
basis for determining the communist takes place according to need and availability.
Everything should be done to avoid the rationing system but just one solution for this is
the lack of time we need to see.
On the other hand, Berkman's communist alternative "excess of the open use" regard, the
pollution or issues to be decided as the user that created the contradictions of the same
material, we see that the community how to address the issue will make arrangements to
discuss. Any construction-deconstruction of the global capitalist economy entrance who,
prevented the development of large sections of global inequality and the world must be
willing to deal with giant-sized problem. The world will improve the capacity of the whole
society consciously and collectively, and (capitalism, which is to expand the market and
unsustainable created to increase their profits) to the ecological disaster that created
the existing structures, we need a way to find a solution.
These decisions can only get through popular assemblies. But it is not the solution
techniques. I just can not find an affordable design solutions for fights on pollution. A
proposal for the above discussion raises several proposals already exist, but only in the
council of the community to political issues can be political processes. To determine any
value, as it would be arbitrary, does not solve the problem. Instead, the community must
come together, arguably, should have reached an agreement and create the best solution for
everyone. Structures, the struggle for power and strength can mediate interests struggle
but it is only the outer face of these structures is the solution. Not provide any
warranty and the case ultimately material such problems requires the social and historical
analysis. The proclamation of you know, vague generalizations, beyond the inevitable empty
formalism for an evaluation more experience, we need to practice and experiment.
However, unlike capitalism, "all the time, what we want it" is not a guarantee of our
ability. In various planning to be on equal footing with any other communities throughout
isiyatif, the direction will be to become primitive structural pressures. We do not want
to burn us who may in the future oil. Unlike today, there will be financial or political
interests to do so. When the real disagreements, and they will be, will be beyond the
social struggles of our model and our formula.
Criticism of the Wage System
But sharing draw clear lines. Additional share on communists in defining the Onomea, that
the paid work system, we saw instead of the perceived value of individual labor is based
on human needs and financial possibilities and the location of the capital accumulation
that takes production for human needs. Participants in the economy with all of the
features common to the collectivist economy, it is actually a system that forces people to
work for a variety of fee-schemes. Collectivist share has accumulated income as wages on
the basis and is based on the perceived value of work done by the individual's income.
Collectivists have identified various ways the value of labor under socialism: units of
production, working hours, the difficulty of the job and the power supply is running
(participatory economics), the social values of labor, and so on.
Communist economy, partly based on the experience of the revolutionary society rejects the
wage system. Russia, China, Cuba, Hungary, Germany, and so on. Best we can see only one
thing in the revolutionary experience, it capitalism, you can re-emerge through the enemy.
Class distinctions and class inequality are acting as a ramp for possible ruling classes.
Wage systems, "proletarian" It's not up to the government proposal, the financial capital
and the formation of a new ruling class power savings and provides the basis for economic
inequality. This is basically a negative appeal. On the positive side, the communist
economy offers injustice and non-wage labor in the economy that sustained additional
options and opportunities. Communism, and made entirely in the distinction between jobs
and money received in production thanks to eliminate people and lead to the establishment
of a new and fundamentally different social relations. Basically communist sharing, output
and structure of social production, the realities of society benefit from this production
and is forced to move towards the vital needs. Communism, by breaking the bonds between
labor and consumption, provides an alternative based on social needs and the human desire
to live and work style.
Moreover, you will be questioned over what can be done on the basis of a fair wage. Wages
under capitalism is not fair. Fees depend on the market, so much. But socialist fees are
based on a certain value perception of labor. Participants in this wage economy "...
efforts which have been made on participation in social product, or to sacrifice." [Xx]
how many hours you work, how much you produce, has been proposed that various collectivist
values such as fees to the production floor. But there is a fundamental problem in all
of them; they are arbitrary and unfair.
At the present time the production is largely social. The contribution of the individual,
it is to separate the contributions of the other thousands of people used to do business
is very difficult. Simply put, today's society is social labor and capital so intertwined
in that, in most cases from the labor of others, and it is impossible to measure the
contribution of individuals who provide individual social capital are to produce the
individual. Capitalism does not already tried; only pays the amount imposed on people.
Looking only at the time, all hours worked, we know that a person may be different from
the other; but receive the same wage. Some people value the work they do because they are
deficient in natural would be unfair. Others, without exerting much effort, just based on
their ability AmAmAlIlAr rich. If we make the effort and sacrifice according to the
evaluation of such a system is still open to the random and arbitrary evaluation. The
evaluation of the work of other colleagues of workplace gossip and infighting today's
level of discomfort to the very top, a power over wages converts the system. Can not be
neutral to value something; power is installed and is a means of pressure. Fee is a
printing tool that is used to gizemlileştir real social labor by capitalism. Participants
economy and collectivists, cut the relationship with this vehicle-profit system they think
could be a justice tool.
The difficulty of harvesting worthwhile pointing to something more fundamental: based on
perceived value, giving priority to forced labor, and we do not want an economy that
rewards. Both danger of inequality in wealth, destructive social pressures caused by both
the appraisal, which is separate from the consumption of labor value indicates a more
liberal economy. Traditionally this idea "according to his ability, to each according to
need everyone" [xxi] are summarized form.
Toward Communism
We, as a movement, a model of a moral memory, or we have to go beyond the role of mass
struggle today. Libertarian alternative practice directly, we are in the build-up entries
in the movement, we must evolve with our theory practice. Kropotkin'l together, we've
already seen that there are some communist elements in today's society. Gilles Dauve the
communist economy into this dynamic and historical approach has contributed to the concept
Communizing.
Communism is not seized power after a series of measures to be put into practice. All were
able to stop the former communist society movements, but they expect something out of this
mass arrest. Communization contrary, the movement of goods ... makes gratuitous attempts
to eliminate all distinctions. [Xxii]
At present, there is communism, does not mean that there are functional as communism. Our
job is to create islands of communism (which surely rebuild capitalist relations), or does
not create instances of communism in the present struggle. Capitalism is not only the
wealth consists of relations between people. Communist revolutionary awareness of the main
issues in the development of an economy working class in mass struggle is to develop
Communizing and practices. Defeat of capitalism, not a theory, but a historical moment in
our struggle. And social relations for it, should the awareness of the workers in the
organization and struggle.

theorists argue that everyone will benefit from any form of social production without
being forced to work, others put it as a minimum condition for access socially necessary
