Perhaps because anarchism was and is popular in punk culture, it is still mistakenly equated with chaos, disorder, rampant violence and lawlessness.
It goes long before punk culture, @zyx066. It may be Trotsky’s violent ideas of ‘permanent revolution’ that have given bad name to Anarchism, as they did to Marxism. Did everybody forgot the definition of anarchy made by German philosopher Immanuel Kant?
Four kinds of government:
- Force without freedom and law (barbarism)
- Law and force without freedom (despotism)
- Force with freedom and law (republic)
- Law and freedom without force (anarchy)
Capitalism only exists by the grace of government. Capitalism and the state feed of, and reinforce each other.
Correct. Capitalism is an exploitative order which would be unsustainable without state coercion.
I'll repeat it here: "anarcho-capitalism" is a joke, it's a contradiction in terms.
Exactly. Closest you can get is “a-narco-capitalism”
