Anarchosyndicalist

Thank you both for your replies. I feel I have a better idea of what information you're both seeking. I will do my best to satisfactorily answer your questions. If someone were to steal something or assault someone, would there be an agency to deal with the bad guy? Would such things be decided by democratic vote or according to some rules by some appointed judges Theft will be impossible in a society where everything is freely provided. Violent crimes such as rape,assualt, murder, pedophilia, and other such physical crimes will be the concern. The best way to look at how anarchist socialism would work is to invision government eliminated all the way exept at the local level. Different town councils would be elected and controlled by the population of a town. So there would be a council concerned with crime and punishment etc. If a man killed his wife the evidence would be presented to the council. If there was enough to indicate the mans guilt there would have to be a punishment that didn't involve imprisonment administered. What that would be would have to be decided by the people of a given town or "commune". You mention "free distributed". This is unclear. After all, under almost any system, people are free to freely distribute what they produce. So, I assume that this type of free-distribution means something different. In particular, would the wealth be taken from one person by force, and given to another. Would there be some type of agency that would decide this? Or would this be decided by some type of democratic vote? Freely distributed is probably not the best term. But what I mean is everything that is produced, from houses to luxury items, will be accessable to the people free of charge. It will require no money to purchase anything. You may simply go to a distribution center and get what you'd like. When it comes to homes you will be able to do the same as long as the house you pick is not occupied at the time. For instance, do you mean that this type of system will achieve maximum economic benefit and wealth for the greatest number of people? This is what I meant. How are producers who do not give away there wares dealt with? When the workers sieze the means of production Capitalists will call in their police forces and military. Most of which are made up of people from working class backgrounds. If the military and police refuse their orders and do not attack their fellow workers there will be no violence. If on the other hand they attempt to regain the Capitalists "property" then they and the Capitalists will be oppressed. Who decides how particular industries and factories are managed? ARe managers elected? The workers will agree on what methods will be used to make their factory more efficient. Who would know better how to improve than the people who work there. Yes, managers would be elected or the workers could simply make decisions by democratic vote. How is distribution managed? Especially with regard to things of limited supply where the demand out paces the supply? Who gets to consume those things and how is that decided? Distribution would be managed by elected councils and the input of the people. Items that are of a limited supply would be distributed as fairly and evenly as possible; with those in greater need taking priority.

I will do my best to explain what I mean by Stateless Socialism. In stateless socialism the land, the means of production, and distribution; would be owned communally and self managed by the workers. No centrally planned marxist state. There would be no military, police, or prisons. But there would be a sort of national guard of the people to protect again any sort of foreign invasion or common psychopath. Production would be for use and not profit. So everything from housing to luxury items would be freely distributed. Thus no need for money. Direct democracy i.e. popular vote would play a key role in making decisions. This is a very brief sketch. I hope I have been of help. If I need to elaborate further I will do so.

My apologies. I intend to defend the superiority of stateless socialism(anarchism) to capitlaism. I will describe how anarchists view such a society being structured and why such a system would be better than capitalism.

I would like to have a one-on-one debate with a knowledgable Objectivist. To clarify, I belong to the original socialist/communist strand of Anarchism. Not "Anarco-Capitalism".
