§ 01
The Idea
What Minarcho-Socialist actually means.
Minarcho-Socialism blends a minimal state with collective economic structures, allowing decentralized socialist organization with only essential government functions.
During the Spanish Revolution of 1936, worker-controlled collectives formed in rural and urban areas outside rigid anarcho-syndicalist frameworks. These collectives operated with communal ownership of land and industry but maintained minimal bureaucratic oversight, reflecting Minarcho-Socialist principles.
