Learning a bit about guild socialism through reading Platform Socialism. It sounds good. Good healthy dollops of municipalism and subsidiarity.

@neil do you have some resources? i had a desire a while back to start a guild, and im wondering if my concept of what that would look like already exists
@jaxter184 I’m reading the book ‘Platform Socialism’ which has a chapter that discusses it. I have some notes here: https://anagora.org/guild-socialismAs to what the ‘guild’ in it means: “In Coleβs theory, guilds were democratic associations based on the unit of the workplace or factory and extended to larger guilds of industries.” Node [[guild socialism]] in anagora.org

Following with interest. @jaxter184 @neilMy most recent encounter with anything at all guildly has been in the remarkably wise words of Ed Gamester. https://www.northernfiredesigns.com/collections/ed-gamester/products/ed-gamester-thus-the-guildI’m sharing this not-entirely-serious link in response to what seems to be a rather more serious exchange because,should you be able to pick up a copy, it’s actually really good stuff. (even to someone like me with little interest in any form of wrestling!)
