participants and challenges Marxist-Leninist organisations that call for a unified
programme for social change.

anarchism and signifies the economic concept of voluntary reciprocal exchange
of resources and services for mutual benefit. It is a key idea within the anarcho-communist, co-operative and trade union movements.
