-Communalism is a system of government in which virtually autonomous local communities are brought together in a confederation under the principles and practice of communal ownership. Social Ecology is its recognition of the often-overlooked fact that nearly all our present ecological problems arise from deep-seated social problems.  +[[Communalism]] is a system of government in which virtually autonomous local communities are brought together in a confederation under the principles and practice of communal ownership.

 [[Anarchism]] is a political philosophy that advocates self-governed societies based on voluntary, cooperative stateless societies, rejecting hierarchies they view as unjust. Anarchism holds capitalism, the state, and representative democracy to be undesirable, unnecessary and harmful. Anarchism specifically entails opposing authority or hierarchical organisation in the conduct of all human relations. Anarchism does not offer a fixed body of doctrine from a single particular world view. Many types and traditions of anarchism exist, ranging from collectivism to individualism, not all of which are mutually exclusive.  [[Anarchism]] is a political philosophy that advocates self-governed societies based on voluntary, cooperative stateless societies, rejecting hierarchies they view as unjust.

-Libertarian Marxism refers to a broad scope of economic and political philosophies that emphasize the anti-authoritarian aspects of Marxism. Early currents of libertarian Marxism, known as left communism, emerged in opposition to Marxist-Leninist vanguardism, it is also often critical of reformist positions, such as those held by social democrats. Libertarian Marxist currents emphasize the Marxist belief in the ability of the working class to forge its own destiny without the need for a revolutionary party or state to mediate or aid its liberation. +[[leftcommunism|Left Communism]] refers to a broad scope of economic and political philosophies that emphasize the anti-authoritarian aspects of Marxism.

-===== Other Tendencies ===== +===== Further ===== 
-==== Utopian Socialism ==== +[[Tendencies|Other Tendencies]] of Libertarian Socialism include Utopianism, Guild Socialism, Inclusive Democracy, Participism and Neozapatismo
-{{ :utopianism.png?nolink&200|Utopianism Logo: A red modified star with a blue filigree eye design over it, enclosed in a blue and red circle}} +
-Utopian socialism is the presentation of visions and outlines for imaginary or futuristic ideal societies, with positive ideals being the main reason for moving society in such a direction. Utopian socialists generally do not believe any form of class struggle is necessary for socialism to emerge, instead that people of all classes can voluntarily adopt their plan for society if it is presented convincingly. They feel their form of cooperative socialism can be established among like-minded people within the existing society and that their small communities can demonstrate the feasibility of their plan for society.  +

-==== Guild Socialism ==== +
-{{ :guild_socialism.png?nolink&200|Guild Socialism Logo: A red star with a grey gear along its top 3 pointsstamped on a brown shield}} +
-Guild socialism is a political movement advocating workers' control of industry through the medium of trade-related guilds "in an implied contractual relationship with the public". Guilds would not confine their demands to matters of wages and conditions but would seek to obtain control of industry for the workers whom they represented. Ultimately, industrial guilds would serve as the organs through which industry would be organised in a future socialist society.  +

-Inclusive Democracy is a project that aims for direct democracy; economic democracy in a statelessmoneyless and marketless economy; democracy in the social realm through self-management; and ecological democracy. +

-==== Participism ==== +
-{{ :participatory_society.png?nolink&200|Participism Logo: Four interlocking solid circles in different colors: black, pink, green, and red.}} +
-Participism consists of two independently created economic and political systems: participatory economics or "parecon" and participatory politics or "parpolity". Participism envisions remaking all of human society from the bottom up according to principles of direct participatory democracy and replacing economic and social competition with cooperation. Supporters of what is termed a "participatory society" support the eventual dissolution of the centralized state, markets, and money.  +
