We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting-- By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,-- But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--

Well...the guiding principles of anarchism are free-association and non-coercion. If you're going to be part of a group it should be a group of your choosing and if you do things in the group it is because you agree that they are appropriate, not because someone will put you in jail or break your legs otherwise. Communists don't mind breaking your legs as long as they get their own way.
Anarcho syndicalists and communists pretty much co-evolved and cooperated from maybe 1890-1920. The big difference is that communists throw in the "dictatorship of the proletariat". It's supposed to be just a stage, but recent experience proves it a bit more enduring. In both the October Revolution in Russia and in the Spanish Revolution, the communists were greatly aided by anarchists and then turned around and slit the anarchist's throats.

Thus the reason I hang around this god-forsaken place. There are a number of "smart cookies"posting here on topics important to the times.
There are some true gems in this steaming pile of dung.
Fun thread, thanks.
