The problem of scale in Anarchism

This paper should be regarded as a continuation of the discussion started in [1] on the problem of scale in Anarchism and the Cybernetic Communism proposal, and as part of a longer forthcoming series of contributions aimed at developing and illustrating different aspects, some more abstract and theoretical and others more concrete, of the Cybernetic Communism idea.

From small to large scale anarchism

As already discussed in [1], small scale anarchism is a well established system consisting of communes, self-managed workers cooperatives, mutual aid networks, local food production and distribution, shared maker and hacker spaces, organized according to what in the time of the Span- ish Civil War was referred to as libertarian collectivism and libertarian syndicalist socialism.

Contra Tiqqun

In 2001 the French anarchist collective Tiqqun published a programmatic text called “The Cybernetic Hypothesis”, later published in English translation by Semiotext(e), and just republished in the same series in 2020. In essence, the cybernetic hypothesis is summarized by the statement that “what today is called neoliberalism is best understood as cybernetic capitalism”.
