What are some books I should read to learn about anarcho-mutualism?

Marx's Economic Manuscripts & The Poverty of Philosophy

Perfect for a Holla Forums expat.

This right here.

kek. I love that so much of philosophy is just philosophers shitting all over one another.

DUDE MARKETS LMAO

mutualists ain't ancaps m8

DUDE
PLANNING IDEALISM
LMAO

also

same free market fantasy

We're not idealists, fucknugget

the idea that human interaction with the productive forces is ought to follow an intelligent design, a planned or a command economy, over the spontaneous order of the market is pretty much idealism

unironically, both stupid tankies and lolberts think this to be true.

nah fam. read Cockshott

there's nothing wrong with planning. if the USSR could manage it in the 1930s we can do it a million times better in the age of the internet to coordinate production. the problem with Soviet planning was a reluctance to embrace new planning methods from the Brezhnev era onwards

the development of the market was/is linked to private property.

trying to combine markets with socialism just leads to Dengist cancer and capitalist restoration (Khrushchev and Gorbachev)

No, mutualists are ex-ancaps who have realized that their voluntarist nonsense actually makes a modicum of theoretical sense if you remove the glaring fatal contradiction that private property creates. The removal of private property is a significant enough change that it qualifies as a completely different, and less absurd, fantasy.

how about a market where labour vouchers are used instead of money? duh.

Which still leaves the market question. Why should I trust something so vague and intangible?

Maybe, but it seems like a market would create distortions and encourage undermining one another.

I am all for central planning; I'm just saying that mutualists and ancaps are significantly different. At least mutualists have a theory that does not immediately destroy itself.

planning is idealism, not only does a planned economy still responds to supply and demand, curves but the idea that it elminates the necessity of competition via the reduction of the SNLT is flawed

let's say we plan our corn production, and we decide to manufacture 10k tonnes, planners would arguee that, since all of the 10k tonnes are going to be produced for consumption, there will be no exploitation, as the value would be fully utilized by the people, however the workers plowing fields and picking corn still have to follow a dtimeline, they will have to deliver the corn before X date, and if they don't they will face the risk of getting fired, where another worker would take his place

the difference is however, that in this case the workers are not allowed to manufacture their own corn in case the planned production of corn goes bad, or workers do not deliver the quanity required

planners also claim that labour would stop being commodified, and that labour won't have an exchange value on it's own, this is clearly false, as a worker could not be able to demand more value from the central authority than the one he generated, obviosuly there is nothing incorrect here, a worker cannot demand more value than the one he generated as he would be engaging in exploitation, but it let's use see that labour, the amount of labour, has an exchange value on it's own

however if a worker did generate more commodities during his labour time, by using more efficient techniques or better machinery, then he would be able to demand more commodities, meaning that a more efficient worker would be able to demand demand more use values, essentially proving his labour has a higher exchange value, than the one of another worker, as if he were competing in a market for a higher salary

the problem here is that planning does not eliminate what it is supposed to eliminate, it simply eliminates money as a commodity

also a huge woman hater, but i love the big goof anyhow

find me a thinker outside of nieitzsche who wasn't.

I learned that the USSR was a failed market socialist state today
