Post-Marxist Socialism

Post-Marxist Socialism (clipped to PM-Soc) is an ideology which advocates for voluntary sharing of the means of production and private property among willing participants. It rejects class theory and collectivism as corrosive, dehumanizing, and anti-individualist concepts. Only when done voluntarily will socialism work. This is because it would allow the socialist communes to compete for members and lead to the best groups drawing the most members, while badly structured groups and bad workers are left out. This would help prevent sabotage and mismanagement by individuals in the commune.

Behavior
PM-Soc is a very peaceful and relaxed ball, He will readily do his work and then spend the rest of his time hanging out with other commune members and doing hobbies. PM-Soc will sometimes trade goods with capitalists, he is careful to get good deals so he has a lot of money to bring back to the commune. When he is outside of the commune he will hang out with other anarchists.

Organization
Ways to organize a Post-Marxist Socialist commune aren't very restricted, so long as it's voluntary and involves the sharing of means of production and private property.

Configuration 1 would be sharing of most basic commodities, housing, food, access to water, and the means of production. Participants would pool all the property which involves these things voluntarily, and would be doled his equal share of these thing's value if they choose to withdraw. Decisions in the commune would be made via direct democracy, things like the amount of value one would have to contribute to join, how much members have to work, and how surplus value created by the commune is invested.

Configuration 2 is sharing of a business's value and means of production, and is basically syndicalism. People buy into or work for the business to the point where they have contributed enough to join. Every set period and manager is elected by the workers through direct democracy. The manager will be the equivalent of a CEO, handling the business's executive functions like making deals, prices, supply coordination, and organizing the workers. If a worker wants to withdraw they will be able to cash out their share in the company. Workers could also be chose to be paid their surplus value in cash instead of an increasing proportional share.
