      “socialism is when the government does stuff”

      No, they clearly said that Socialism is when nobody has the power to do anything.

    GIK is a text written by people of the GIK, they are kind of a federative anarcho syndicalist group of communists who still like centralization, but also autonomous working groups. Some people take the 1930 work and Towards a new working movement, which some argue is slight utopist, as really great theory - and I have to admit it got charm, is it correct? That is a very different question. It would be bad to be like some Trotzkists though and be very sectarian about it if you think the Foundations of/Grundprinzipien kommunistischer Produktion und Verteilung is correct. Just as Trotzkists supporters of the GIK's 1930 book can be accepting of a varied net of theory and praxis. On Twitter though?

    The authors are a group and Jan Appel (de) is one of them.

      " Grundprinzipien kommunistischer Produktion und Verteilung" is a very good read. They are critical of Leninism, but from a thoroughly Marxist POV. One of their key concepts is replacing money by time accounts, solving the problem Mises pointed out that a planned economy still needs a unit of measurement. But unlike using the very imperfect valueform of capitalism it uses the objective measurement of how much time is contained within a product.

      There is nothing in the GIKs work that is an endorsement of Gobatchow though, the tweet is complete nonsense.
