Abstract
The leading Makhnovists had definite ideas about the ideal form of social organisation:
The basic form was to be the free toilers’ soviet of peasant and worker organisations. ‘Free’ here means complete independence of all central authority and participation in the general economic framework on a basis of equality. ‘Toilers’ means that these soviets were to be based on the principle of labour, containing only toilers, serving only their will and interests, political organisations being excluded.1
