When the government uses violence to stop you from negotiating a contract, you’re not in a free market and therefore aren’t in a capitalist place.

You can have capitalism without a completely, 100%, utopian un-interfered with market. In fact, that kind of market has never and could never exist, yet we still have capitalism.

And they call socialists utopians.

The direct consequences of Capitalism as applied to reality can be considered the direct consequences of Capitalism. Utopian AnCAPism is just that, utopian.

It's not utopian; they've just slapped a new name on feudalism. It's very achievable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It isn't achievable. AnCap belief centers around a stateless Capitalism, which is an impossible contradiction.

[–] explodicle 1 points 9 months ago

Well then to clarify, the system they describe is achievable.
