| | Instead a corrupt, contradictory and antagonistic socio-economic regime of multi-national capitalist monopolies opposed to the general interest must be replaced with universal libertarian socialism. | | | In both cases, given the great progress realized by our society, the dictatorships of private capital or State capital can be overcome. | | | This list of industrial federations does not include all the social and public services, which would be too tedious to number but would have to be represented in the Federative Council of the Economy as well. |

| | Franz Kafka and Libertarian Socialism |
| | According to his childhood friend and schoolmate -- Hugo Bergmann, they had a slight falling out during their last academic year (1900-1901) because "his socialism and my Zionism were much too strident." | | | Yet once more, he is not acting out of any political doctrine but from a state of mind and critical sensibility whose principal weapon is irony, humor, that black humor which, according to André Breton, is "a supreme revolt of the spirit." | | | Anarchist doctrine was conceived before Marx and libertarian socialism is not constituted in relation to his work. |

| | Socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Socialist leaders have been elected in South America, in recent years, but there has not been a large shift away from capitalism, at this point. | | | Communism carries a strong social stigma in the United States, due to a history of anti-communism in America. | | | Socialism can be divided into the libertarian schools, generally called libertarian socialist or anarchist, and the more authoritarian schools that support some degree of state coercion. |

| | All this body of doctrine penetrated the universities capturing the minds of many students and professors, the "intelligentsia" above all, in pre-revolutionary Russia, where leninism was established as the active political practice of marxism. | | | The Libertarian Economy The libertarian economy, going beyond the marxist-leninist economic doctrine of State capitalism, rejects the State in the name of political and economic liberty. | | | In this school of thought, Bakunin asserted socialism and liberty at the same time, since he could not conceive that socialism could be less free than the bourgeois democracy described by the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man from the French Revolution of 1789-93. |

| | They were oriented toward cooperative and decentralized forms of ownership -- yet they agreed with other progressive libertarians in advocating genuinely free markets, with an end to land monopoly and other government-created monopolies. | | | Greatly influenced by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, they advocated free banking without charging interest, an end to the monopoly of government-issued currency, the abolition of patents and copyrights, producer cooperation (cooperatives), the abolition of regulation and state ownership of monopolies, and land ownership based solely on use and occupation without government deeding. | | | It could be called socialism without the state or anarchism. |

| | Social equality will be defined as "a state at which all members of a population have equal opportunity to enhance their own wellbeing," not necessarily a state in which all members of a population experience material equality. | | | All community expenditures and policy would have to be decided upon in democratic municipal meetings attended by all citizens of the community and ratified by more than just a simple majority, but an unequivocal majority or a consensus, depending on the situation. | | | With the destruction of all dictatorial and hierarchic institutions including the state, whose primary function is to forcibly ensure that human autonomy is limited and curtailed so as to prevent actions that challenge the material status quo, the vast majority of restrictions on liberty will have been abolished. |
