I have long lived by the principles of community, voluntary cooperation, and decentralized member-driven governance. Before knowing the term anarcho-syndicalism, I often imagined unions as truly democratic organizations, where delegates are elected and revocable at any moment, rooted in direct workers’ self-management and direct participation in controlling economic and social life, independent from both state authority and capitalist ownership.

«[…] private institutions are fundamentally extractive. Decisions are made on the basis of profit or some similar self-serving motivation.

Oxide: The Essence of Rust
Rust claims to advance industrial programming by bridging the gap between low-level systems programming and high-level application programming. At the heart of the argument that this enables programmers to build more reliable and efficient software is the borrow checker - a novel approach to ownership that aims to balance type system expressivity with usability. And yet, to date there is no core type system that captures Rust's notion of ownership and borrowing, and hence no foundation for rese…

Home ownership, or “buy-in rent stabilization”

Anarcho-syndicalism is the belief that workers, as the fundamental producers of social value, must seize control of the means of production through direct action and autonomous organization. It rejects both capitalist private ownership and state-controlled systems, arguing instead for a decentralized federation of worker-managed industries. From my perspective, anarcho-syndicalism is not merely an economic strategy but a revolutionary theory of social transformation, one that places the work…
