I am surprised I did not come across this article sooner since it was published way back in 1992. It is often typical in form and function to usual right-"libertarian" arguments against common ownership and economic democracy. It is a paper by one Kevin McFarlane of the so-called Libertarian Alliance newsletter, which I believe is still in print. The link can be found here: link . Still at the very least I appreciate McFarlane's attempt at addressing socialists who are not automatically lumped as Bolsheviks and addressing proposed libertarian theories on applying socialism. Still it lacks specific anarchist ideas concerning a non-market economy, instead relying mostly on Trotskyist literature. The closest analogue to libertarian communism is from the "impossiblists" over at the Socialist Party of Great Britain.
I am sure many of you have seen these issues or concerns addressed elsewhere but I am a neophyte still pondering the practicality of anarcho-communist ideals in todays society. True in a revolutionary era changes of great import would occur but I doubt anyone would embrace communist ways of organizing production if people were not convinced it would create conditions above scarcity and not chaos. Wrong or not, I often here similar claims voiced by Kevin McFarlane in everyday discourse when discussing the infeasability of a non-market economic order.
your link needs a dot removed at the end to work. will read this, thanks.
