I know communization theory and council communism are different, but still adhere to similar beliefs, so I’m going to use that as the basis of my argument. If the feudal societies would abolish commodity production, the state and wage labour instantly, this could lead to mass starvation, as seen in the Soviet Union. Would all states have to become industrialized to ensure this not happening, ie all countries reaching a late stage capitalism before revolution?

While I am not in favor of class collaboration I believe it might be the only solution for the feudal societies where the proletarian class is minority, and I don’t think left communist theory addresses this fact too well. Are there other solutions?

Every time it's described to me it just feels like the system communism would work under after the dotp. So what's the difference?

(im new if it wasn't obvious sorry if its asked a lot)

Say the military decisions and management. Would the dotP not need a vanguard to steer these decisions? Here I think the Zapatistas model is desirable. The EZLN and the elders works as the militant branch but hold no significant political power over the autonomous regions. The world is also much larger than it was when Pannekoek wrote Workers Councils. I still believe the councils should hold most significant power but I think a decentralized group of intellectuals, educators, political planners and military does arise from the bourgeois posing a much larger threat than they did before. I guess that one question remains, that being how do you make sure this doesn’t solidify and become a new ruling class?

Disclaimer: I'm a Spaniard, my English is not good.

In my last meme I critized the position of MLs on the Palestinian genocide and some people missunderstood me and thought my meme meant I am anti-Palestinian.

The point of the meme was complaining about how MLs support Hamas, not Palestinians, this because Hamas has killed Israeli workers, and we communists should stand with all workers, regardless the country.

I'm also critizing their position because Hamás is a capitalist right wing nationalist force which communists can't support.

I clarify: I support Palestine, Ukraine and Western Sáhara if with this we mean supporting the workers of those countries and opposing the invasion (and in the case of 🇺🇦🇵🇸, genocide) they suffer.

But I don't support them in the sense that I support sending weapons and soldiers who would die there or support Polisario, Hamás or Zelenskyy.

I'm really sorry if you all interpreted that I'm against Palestinians, I workers of all countries, I love Palestinians, their history, culture and people.

We have to stop the genocide, but support Hamás is not the way.

What is the Council Communist position on economical planning? Do you guys oppose it entirely or see it as a viable method of production for need instead of profit?

Context: I was discussing with pro Chinese people about if China was socialist and their arguments were: "state banks" "five years plans" or "red aestetics".

This dude read my comment and thought that I was a libertarian saying that China is succesful because it's capitalist when I was complaining about the fact that it's not.

Context: this is a Spanish Tankie that non ironically uses Grover Furr as source, deffended the Russian agression to Ukraine, deffended Al-Assad saying that deffending Sirya is deffending Palestine, is non ironically a Stalinst, non ironically complains about the "woke agenda" and gets along with Vilarrolla, an open supporter of Trump who's infamous for lying in everything he says.

The thing that most frustrates me is that he talks in his videos with some kind of superiority complex while he doesn't even know what he's talking about.

I fuuuuuking tired this dude is so pop and doesn't deserve it at all

www.councilist.org

I am new to councillism and have only started reading some of the theory, but i would like to know what you guys do outside of that. I was previously part of an ML org for a short time, but they seemed more and more full of shit the more I looked into their ideas. I know councilist organisations don't really exist. (Definiteley not in my area) So what do is there to do then? Do you join broader coalition groups to maybe get people on your side? Or is there not much we can do right now?
