Long time no see everyone.
I used to post a lot here, and I wanted to see what was going on.
Anyway, I was curious about your thoughts on Mutualism. I presume a lot of people here are AnComs, so I just wanted to see what y'all thought of other types of anarchism. And of course, "anarcho" capitalism doesn't count. Or national "anarchism"

Social Anarchism: Casper Economics
(From https://www.facebook.com/SocialAnarchistNews/posts/1561852440803730:0)
Social anarchists never quite developed an independent tradition of political economy.
This is primarily because most anarchists from Mikhail Bakunin onwards considered Marx's critique in the three volumes of Capital to be the definitive word on the subject, encouraging anarchists to study Marxian economics, but without accepting Marx's authoritarian politics or mechanistic sociology.
So since the late 19th century, social anarchists have generally outsourced their economic critique to Marxian economics and in some cases left-wing versions of Keynesian economics.
Social Anarchism: Democracy or Autonomy?
(From https://www.facebook.com/SocialAnarchistNews/?fref=nf)
While social anarchists have always used the word autonomy – meaning self-directedness as well as free association – there's been a certain ambivalence about the word democracy. This can be confusing for newcomers who start reading anarchist literature and see direct democracy being described as anarchistic in one book and lambasted in another.
The term comes from two Greek root words which together mean "people power".
At the beginning, the word was synonymous with what is now called "direct democracy", and referred more broadly to the idea of a self-organised multit
Capitalism an Introduction by Libcom.org
libcom.org's brief introduction to capitalism and how it works.
At its root, capitalism is an economic system based on three things: wage labour (working for a wage), private ownership or control of the means of production (things like factories, machinery, farms, and offices), and production for exchange and profit.
While some people own means of production, or capital, most of us don't and so to survive we need to sell our ability to work in return for a wage, or else scrape by on benefits. This first group of people is the capitalist class or "bourgeoisie" in Marxist jargon, and the second group is the working class or "proletariat". See
capitalism=slavery
in order to survive in a capitalist economy we must work for capitalists and do as they say. this is because they have the right products of our labor witch we need to survive and only allow us access to them if we work form them. they have the majority of control over us as again in order to survive we must work for them. having the majority of control over something is the definition of ownership so the capitalist class effectively own us. what is ownership of human beings called again? oh, that's right SLAVERY.

I love this one: "in our private lives we are individualists, doing our own things and choosing our companions and friends for personal reasons; in our social lives we are mutualists, making free agreements with each other, and giving what we have and getting what we need by equal exchanges with each other; in our working lives we would mostly be collectivists, joining our colleagues in producing for the common good and in the management of work we would mostly be syndicalists, joining our colleagues in deciding how the job should be done; in our political lives we would mostly be communists, joining our neighbours in deciding how the community should be run."
