r/mutualism is a subreddit with 13k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and solution requests, and the community frequently discusses proudhon, anarchism, mutualism, anarchy, and communism.
Mutualism is an anarchist current, originally based in the theories of P.-J. Proudhon, which treats both capitalism and authoritarian government as instances of exploitation, by which the power of the masses is turned back against them by privileged classes. Today, the term may apply to a range of anarchist positions, from updated "proudhonism" to "free-market anti-capitalism," which do not preclude market exchange.
