    Average level of political discourse capable by an anarcho capitalist society lmao.

    No, the state is the root cause of all of this. It's not capitalism, it's the state.

    You can't have capitalism without the state. It is the state which enforces the rules of the game. Capitalism is just an economic system.

    It is the state which provides the court system, the police force, the military, the roads, the schools, the intellectual property rights, the laws, the regulations, the contracts, the intellectual property rights, the government paper money, the welfare, the workers' compensation, the bank bailouts, the legal tender laws, etc, etc. Without the state, there is no capitalism.

    Capitalism doesn't cause corruption of the state, it is the other way round.

    How can you call yourself an anarchist if you don't think capitalism is bad?

      This posts is likely just rhetorical, but these guys all just assume capitalism is the natural state of things. It's really a ridiculously idealistic assumption. They call us the pipe dream people. LoL

        Lol they all think private property will be enforced by individuals with guns in the absence of a state. They'll hire armed guards to protect their factories who will all realize they can just take the factory because they have all the guns.

        Makes me wonder what their plan is for keeping intellectual property...probably NFTs

      They just want unregulated capitalism so they can have slavery again. After all, it's free labor, so "efficient"!
