He advocates the final goals of communism… Also, he mentioned at the beginning that Left Marxists would be included in libertarian socialist category, in which he states he supports. (and i do too:P)
I read a good article written by Luxemburg, where she basically pwns Lenin and predicts exactly what would happen if he centralized the organization of the young Russian prolateriat.
the whole tenor of the ideas and arguments unfolded in this essay might fairly
be reduced to this, that while they would break all fetters in human society, they
would attempt to find as many new social bonds as possible. The isolated man is no
more able to develop than the one who is fettered
Bc the highest goal of the productive labor in our system is not the labor itself, but the paycheck at the end. People have no incentive other than economic whip of boss to become efficient, they just want their paycheck.
i think this model all comes down to how a workplace should be organized. hierarchical (the way it is) or cooperative/democratic. this is the real issue not public sector vs. private sector (false dichotomy). the only problem i see is that co-ops are supposedly incredibly inefficient.
Kropotkin showed that mutual aid and cooperation is important to the evolution of social beings. Libertarian Socialism occurred in Spain and Italy in a rather spontaneous manner, reflecting the way people react in smaller societies and in the past. It can be argued socialism with free association is part of human nature.

It is described in 1 Cor. 13 in the New Testament.
It is the character of God…gives freedom and
respect and shows equal interest in your
well being as my own…i would not do
something to harm you just to make a buck.
I know that sometimes seems impossible with our situation in the world but within the
parameters of our own awareness it is a
good start. IT is not so much an ideology
that counts as the REAL personal action
and fruition.

The greastest phrase ever to be written:

be reduced to this, that while they would break all fetters in human society, they
would attempt to find as many new social bonds as possible. The isolated man is no
more able to develop than the one who is fettered
