Social Anarchism
"For all who are at all familiar with history know that men will abuse power when they possess it, for these and other reasons, I, after careful study, and not through sentiment, turned from a sincere, earnest, political Socialist to the non-political phase of Socialism, Anarchism, because in its philosophy I believe I can find the proper conditions for the fullest development of the individual units in society, which can never be the case under government restrictions."
Social Anarchism is an Anarchist, economically left-wing and generally culturally progressive ideology.
He believes in a stateless, classless society based on the principles of free-association, mutual aid and social equality. To SocAns, the commune is the cornerstone of social organization, where all participants can vote in a direct democracy.
He strongly advocates for a decentralized co-operative economic system centered around worker's self-management, in which trade unions and
worker's cooperatives have democratic control over the economy.
Much like AnCom, SocAn believes in the abolition of unjust hierarchies from state control to private capital, arguing that as long as structures of political and economic oppression continue to exist, individual freedom will never be realized in full.
