    The formation of worker councils happened outside of the bolshevik revolution afaik but I dont think they were sufficiently organised to counter the threat of bolsheviks and were largely complacent to the central party as long as they would tolerate the worker councils but by the time they no longer tolerated them there was nothing they could do

    I know you don't believe in vanguardism or one party rule

    As an anarchist I still disagree with syndicalism because its too focused on the worker identity and doesn't seem to say much about externalities like climate change or harm to non-human animals and it seems to center able-bodies neurotypical experience by default

    Also the worker council owned factories in the USSR were quickly taken over by the central party which I think speaks to the inherently hierarchical concept of the firm

    I do agree that workers shouldn't be coerced to conform to the authority of a planning council but I also think that the fundamental concept of self identifying as being a part of the firm before the commune is irrevocably adversarial

    It's a good job I'm not a
    socialist, then. Gave up that fantasy sh:t decades ago. If it happens like KM said it would, great; but it can't be pushed/forced into existence by #Vanguardism like some think it can.

  7. Until recently I had never heard of #Vanguardism - I came across that term when I heard about #OrishaLand.

    Heres the definition from #400and1 400 s page
    fourhundredandone.com/so/ebNUV :

    Vanguardism is a strategy that has been successfully leveraged by revolutionaries, historically. A vanguard party is a collective that is organized hierarchically. Its job is to seize power on behalf of the masses in order to establish a socialist state. (A socialist state is an organized collective that distributes resources equitably and universally.)
