Bairdism

William Baird, whose writings and philosophy formed the basis for Bairdism and set the stage for the Carnish Revolution

Bairdism is a communist ideology developed by Carnish Marxist political theorist, philosopher and revolutionary William Baird that proposes the establishment of a communist society through the creation of democratic people's councils organised under a decentralised, non-partisan union. Built around the theories of council communism and libertarian Marxism, Bairdism is staunchly anti-authoritarian, anti-state and democratic and is firmly opposed to Devinism and the concept of the revolutionary vanguard party. Bairdism instead proposes that a network of worker councils would be the main vehicle for revolution against the capitilist state. Bairdism is also critical of reformist positions such as those held by social democrats, believing that communists should not participate in bourgeois parliaments.
