I want a system that provides for the people who make it function. And I see that communism, if used in a centralized government, gives too much power to the politicians. It's a breeding ground for corruption and totalitarianism.
So to me the logical answer to that is have as decentralized a government as possible. And I think, if given the chance, people can and will organize themselves without the need of managers, bosses, or politicians. But it has to be natural, the people have to choose it. The CNT-FAI in the context of the Spanish Civil War is a good example of this.
But I know it's hard for people to view things beyond their own experiences. I started off as a trotskyist and slowly transitioned to more and more decentralized ideologies. It took me awhile till I finally understood the concept of anarchism and its arguments for how it could work. Because like many, I thought that without a government people would descend into chaos. What helped me was finding real world examples of anarchism in practice, like the CNT-FAI, Makhnovista, and Zapatistas (although they don't consider themselves anarchist)
I'm an anarcho-communist. I know response to that is you don't think it'd work on a country scale because people believe you need a government to organize a national system. Syndicalism would be the best, or council communism. Ultimately I think they too run too much of a risk of corruption and totalitarianism, hence why I'm an anarchist. But I do think they'd be less prone to it than any authoritarian communism or even the capitalist systems we have now due to their decentralized nature
They literally all copied the soviet union's homework (Marxist-Leninism), there are other theories that haven't had the chance to be tried. Like Council Communsim, Syndicalism, Libertarian Communism, Anarchism, etc. The failure of Marxist-Leninist countries proves Marxist-Leninism doesn't work. It doesn't prove that communism doesn't work
You should spread the word about lemmyunleashed.net its a really small instance that operates democratically. I'm the only ancom here (that I know of) but I think it'd be a great place for anarchists due to its direct democratic nature. And anarchists don't really have a space of their own on lemmy that I know of
Pyotor Kropotkin, Rudolf Rocker, Anton Pannekoek, Rosa Luxemburg, Errico Malatesta, and Abdullah Ocalan are the ones I've read.
