How could a libertarian communist society meet people’s needs and desires?



Libertarian Socialist Discussion Meeting 7.00pm, Wednesday 29th March


at the Regent Sports & Social Club
102 Regent Road, Leicester LE1 7DA



What are the objections to a communist/anarchist/socialist society and how can they be responded to? 

While not wanting to be all misty-eyed and utopian about things, especially given the current low level of class consciousness, it’s still worth looking at what we would ultimately like to see in place of the barbaric system we live under now.

So given that such a society has never existed, what might communism look like?  Could it possibly work? If so, how would it work?  What kind of problems might a stateless, society based on the principle of “from each according to their ability to each according to their needs” face?

What is council communism? Is it still relevant today?
And no, we're not talking about the red flag flying from the roof of your local town hall but about the left-communist current that Lenin referred to as an "infantile disorder" and which influenced organisations such as...
                                            ...the Anarchist Federation!
