Hi People
I am Libertarian communist "only" for the last 35 years.
When I accessed the internet about 7 years ago I searched for
like minded people and approaches.

It took me a while to find that I prefer the pro organization
anarcho-communist trend over the "autonomist" trend - my Israeli
organization Matspen ("born" at 1962) could be regarded as part of.

In my looking around I encountered the ParEcon and Michael Albert
and observed this model that seems to be within the anti authoritarian
anti capitalist spectrum. 

It was clear to me from the start that this model is NOT
compatible with the Libertarian communist model of the
post capitalist society. At best it is one of few "socialist
transition programs" that propose a two stage road from
capitalism to libertarian communism. 

It is based on the deep objection for a quick transition of
society from alienated and individualist capitalism
to the solidarity of libertarian communism of "from each according
to ability - to each according to needs.
