RE: A Message From the Chief Anarchist For the Anarcho Capitalist Peasants.

in #anarchy6 years ago

Just a point of fact, at the height of the Gilded Age, the US engaged in replacing governments in the former Spanish colonies in Central America, mainly to benefit the United Fruit Company.

So, capitalism turned toward implementing tyranny abroad by the late 1800s, not more than a couple centuries into its existence.

But, before it did that, it created slavery for Africans in the Americas. That predated capitalism a little bit, but not by too much. It wasn't "government tyranny", but it allowed slaveowners to implement private tyranny at a small scale, or, sometimes, in the cases of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, medium to large scale.

The governmental folks who founded the government kept their tyrannical actions to their own households, where they certainly engaged in torture regularly, for the sake of agricultural productivity, and possibly their own personal entertainment.
