thanks! I think i understand and have read enough. I'm probably discrediting how much i know. I'm currently getting my doctorate and a lot of my work involves critical cultural/ political economic theory. The basic division comes in the fact that i don't feel an affinity with the notion of the vanguard party and want more decentralization and communalism. Which is why i veer towards 'anarcho-communism' if you were going to put a label on it.

the reason i'm hesistent to go this far with labels is that some of these particularities come down to us (using "us" broadly) for a hypothetical situation of when the rev comes. Getting too in the weeds nitpicking our little image of what that looks like can get boring to me. So i tend to focus more on what i have politically in common with people on an everyday material level.

I suppose I understand, but I don't see why refusing to formalize and democratize whatever vanguard arises naturally is a better strategy, nor do I see any benefits of communalization over collectivization of production and distribution, especially because large scale industry already prepared the groundwork for this at great scale. Good luck on your doctorate!
