text) autogestion is the ideology of the ascending techno-bureaucratic class, in those countries where the clifferent forms of capitalist exploitation coexist with liberal, bourgeois-democratic state institut10ns. In those countries where the techno-bureaucracy has unified its · classe interests by controlling the National State and merging the party and the State, there is no piace for autogestionary ideology, as in Russia, or like in Yugoslavia it is a limited and state-controlled experience. In the last part of the paper we set down the conditions through which autogestion, as part of the anarchist project, may maintain a revolutionary content by disrupting the power relationship existing within the hierarchical division of work, as well as in interpersonal relationships. So that autogestion may be something else than a new ideology of participation for the use of the new dominant class. BERTI - The self-management model is the concept which for anarchists best « summarizes » the image of a libertarian society. It represents the constructive side of anarchism, but it does not, however, exhaust the ideologica! dimension which expresses - and at the same time is expressed in - the infinite struggles against the multiple forms of authority. There is a difference between the constructive (socia! and economie) dimension and the ideologica! dimension: the former represents the possible forms of anarchism and the latter the ideai form. This separation between what is and what should be characterises the generai divisions which exist between the politica! movement and the economistic movement and between ideology and class. In the anarchist movement this difference does not perpetuate itself as a result of historical heredity. lt is also due to the anti-historical trends which pervade anarchist thought and which leads to a failure to identify in any predetermined historical subject the specific agent of the emancipatory project. Therefore, if the concept of self-management is not the expression of any particular clasf/, or of a particular class conflict, we must deduce that for anarchists it is possible to conceive of self-management in a very abstract manner. And in fact anarchist thought has brought about a conception of the self-managed society as a project with « universal » characteristics, or in other words, as a socia! method to be activated in different historical conditions. The fundamental· condition for anarchist self-management is the universal socialisation of science conducive to the abolition of hierarchical division of labour. The various socio-economie forms (mutuai aid, collectivism, communism) can be added on top of this common basic structure. These can and must co-exist because none of these on their own capable of wholly accounting for all the possible variants in the self-managed society. GUIDUCCI - The fundamental problem against which proposals for self-mana:gement must be measured in arder to preserve its egalitarian character, is that of the division of labour. For marxists, private ownership of the means of production is the fundamental cause of socia! inequality. In reality this is only an effect of the division of labour. In fact, in addition to the socia! division df labour, we must bear in mind the technical division of labour, which sorts people out into arder givers and order takers and thus perpe233
