An Anarchist FAQ – I.5 What could the social structure of anarchy look like?
http://www.infoshop.org/an-anarchist-faq-i-5-what-could-the-social-structure-of-anarchy-look-like/
I know little about economics . I feel the higher cost of living is for one thing , is extra profits for big business, and these guys are wealth addicts and have no limitations put upon them and they will continue to seek more and more and more because their reason for living is to continue making more and more profits . If you raise wages big business and the banksters will just raise prices . Somehow there must be a limit on profits . Taxes must be raised progressively with those higher on the wealth ladder paying the most . Noblesse Oblige – from this who have much, much is expected towards society . But it seems futile since the wealthiest , the financial sector, and big business can hide their wealth anywhere . their are endless loopholes for them . Perhaps we should just nationalize put these guys in jail and expropriate their wealth and redistribute it . surely there are more ways to have a more equitable distribution of wealth . I would be very grateful for any answers and replies .
” What types of anarchism are there?
One thing that soon becomes clear to any one interested in anarchism is that there is not one single form of anarchism. Rather, there are different schools of anarchist thought, different types of anarchism which have many disagreements with each other on numerous issues. These types are usually distinguished by tactics and/or goals, with the latter (the vision of a free society) being the major division.
This means that anarchists, while all sharing a few key ideas, can be grouped into broad categories, depending on the economic arrangements that they consider to be most suitable to human freedom. However, all types of anarchists share a basic approach. To quote Rudolf Rocker:
“In common with the founders of Socialism, Anarchists demand the abolition of all economic monopolies and the common ownership of the soil and all other means of production, the use of which must be available to all without distinction; for personal and social freedom is conceivable only on the basis of equal economic advantages for everybody. Within the Socialist movement itself the Anarchists represent the viewpoint that the war against capitalism must be at the same time a war against all institutions of political power, for in history economic exploitation has always gone hand in hand with political and social oppression. The exploitation of man by man and the domination of man over man are inseparable, and each is the condition of the other.” [Anarcho-Syndicalism, pp. 62-3]…..”

1971: Swiss women get the vote

Women’s suffrage in Switzerland
” Women in Switzerland gained the right to vote in federal elections after a referendum in February 1971.[1] In 1991 following a decision by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, Appenzell Innerrhoden (AI) became the last Swiss canton to grant women the vote on local issues; AI is the smallest Swiss canton with c. 14,100 inhabitants in 1990.[2]…..”
