Capitalism Is War

Could we start at "surpressing" the monopoly of all monopolies, the monopoly on violence?

Are you willing to give up the violence you use, to make your neighbours obey your will?

Without a government, how do you propose protecting yourself from your violent neighbors?

Are you nostalgic for the wild west?

The government IS my violent neighbors. If I don't let myself being extorted or oppressed by those neighbors what do you think will happen? They will send neighbors with guns to make me bow and obey them, that's what I call Wild West.

What do you think my neighbors will say if I defend myself against a thief or attacker from the street?

So, you ARE nostalgic for the wild west.

You'd rather fend for yourself.

One could organize defense. (organizing defense is not what government is)

If you organize for defense, you don't have rights that other people don't have. You don't have the right to rob people and put them in a cage if they don't want you to "defend" them. Governments are seen (by people believing in the most dangerous superstition as having the right to do what the mafia protection agency does. If a protection agency or you protecting yourself andyou family or neighborhood would do the things government does it or you would be (correctly) seen as a crook and a criminal

edit I saw just jet that in another post we already talked about this ;) I had forgotten that post. Peace.

At its heart, capitalism incentivizes competition and self-interest.

More like, anti-competitive, monopoly-seeking (rent-seeking).

First the general you are referring to is Clausewitz. Not sure if they were a general but they none the less coined the phrase. And second I downvoted because I don't like the insinuation of your post. Your ability to speak and write is a direct result of capitalism. And once you've gotten your spoils you attack it with gusto in order to keep your place in it. In the guise of being the speaker against it.

I'm pretty sure the Russians and the Chinese can "speak and write" as well...
