'''Guild Socialism''' ('''GuildSoc''') is a left unity to libertarian left ideology that advocates for worker ownership of the Means of Production through trade guilds, and that such guilds have "an implied contractual relationship with the public". It originated in the United Kingdom in 1914 with the book "National Guilds: An Inquiry into the Wage System and the Way Out" in wich S. G. Hobson (the author) presents guilds as an alternative to state socialism.
Line 43 ⟶ 46:
What sets Guild Socialism apart from other forms of socialism is how the guildsmen is to maintain the apprehension in the framing of social arrangements, and how the economy would consist of guilds, mainly on the local level but also some on the national level, which would serve to include workers of all areas of whichever sector said guild represents.
 
Likewise, it criticizes both [[File:Statesoc.png]] [[State Socialism]] and [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism]] as leaving open the possibility of tyranny, and likewise [[File:LibsocLibms.png]] G.D.H. Cole believed that the Bolshevik Revolution and Lenin himself “replaced the capitalist state with an equally as coercive state”, as said in his book “Guild Socialism: A Plan For Economic Democracy”.
 
While it sees [[File:Synd.png]] Trade Unionism as what is supposed to become the upcoming guilds, it has also criticized trade unions for being too moderate and compromising, in addition to how many only focus on one workplace rather than the common industry, arguing that even if that specific workplace is freed, many in the same industry are still exploited, in addition to believing that there can’t be worker’s justice under the hierarchy of capitalism.
Line 79 ⟶ 82:
*[[File:Marketsoc.png]] [[Market Socialism]] - The right way to have both markets and equality, but there shouldn't be a competitive market in civic services.
*[[File:Consocf.png]] [[Conservative Socialism]] - Yeah, I know I'm a bit old-fashioned too.
*[[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism]] and [[File:Libms.png]] [[Libertarian Market Socialism]] - I too am an enthusiast of a truly decentral and democratic economy.
*[[File:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism]] - Fellow enjoyer of economic democracy, but I doubt if working with the system would really achieve anything.
*[[File:Mutalist.png]] [[Mutualism]] - Basically an anarchist version of myself.

Line 88 ⟶ 91:
*[[File:Councom.png]] [[Council Communism]] - Alright. But workers' councils are also lame.
*[[File: Strasser.png]] [[Strasserism]] - Similar economics but quit it with the Nazi shit.
*[[File:Corptism.png]] [[Corporatism]] - Also has similar ideas, but still way tooto centralized. Also too hierarchical, I support having some higher- ups in the guilds for more expert issues, but the majority of the power should be in the hands of the workers.
*[[File:Fabian.png]] [[Fabian Socialism]] - Cole was a Fabien, but why Eugenics?
*[[File:Merc.png]] [[Mercantilism]] - You like guilds too but cool it with the proto-capitalism.
*[[File:Reactsoc.png]] [[Reactionary Socialism]] - WeDad'res bothpretty socialistscool thatbut likereally medievalneeds guilds,to althoughtone forit different reasonsdown.
*[[File:Yellsoc.png]] [[Yellow Socialism]] - He likes some of my ideas but he doesn't like guilds that much.
*[[File:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism]] - You know, I agree that the current system should be overthrown for the better, it's just that what you propose shares the same coercion that the current system promotes, and I hate it.
Line 103 ⟶ 106:
*[[File:nazi.png]] [[Nazism]] - I dont understand what are you?!
*[[File: Corp.png]] [[Corporatocracy]] - He wants to drive us out of business.
*[[File:Ancapf.png]] [[Anarcho-Capitalism]] - Why don'tdont you want towanna join a guild?
