There was a very brief time period where IHS Press, in the mid-2000s, was publishing (or republishing, I should say) works that I can only call "libertarian socialism for Catholic traditionalists." Fun read. Though one wonders why we need to call it "guild socialism" since in other places what is being described is a sort of revolutionary syndicalism. I suppose the difference is that these guys based themselves off of a Christian worldview, etc. Bears a lot of similarity to the sort of generic non-communist radical "self-management" or "autogestion" or even "assemblyist" tendencies that we see in Europe and elsewhere in the 1960s.
