RE: Anarcho communism, a decent into the ridiculous. And I haven't even started chapter 1 yet!

in #blog6 years ago

Wow. As you did with the book, I stopped reading after the first analysis you made. So let's just focus on the first chapter, right? There, you called out on the writer to mix institutions with government and capitalism.

Yet it makes all the sense for me. In any country, the government enforces the market practices - may it be free or controlled - through its institutions. And the author criticizing both government and capitalism cause he is an anarcho-communist! He opposes the existence of both.

I hope it helps you understand the book a bit better. Cheers!

capitalism and free market operate perfectly without government - as soon as there is any enforcement, so crony capitalism begins..

And the author criticizing both government and capitalism cause he is an anarcho-communist! He opposes the existence of both.

Free markets (capitalism in its most basic form) are not a created system, they are a natural dynamic ' you scratch my back, I''ll scratch yours'..- unlike communism ,blah, blah..

To conflate them twice in the forward and introduction implies an inherent complicity -which is incorrect, which is my point.

...free markets predate any systems, governmental or otherwise..
