Are \"anarcho\"-capitalists really \r\nAnarchists?<\/b><\/p>\r\n
In a word, no<\/b><\/u>. While \"anarcho\"-capitalists \r\nobviously try to associate themselves with the anarchist tradition by using the \r\nword \"anarcho\", their ideas are distinctly at odds with those associated with \r\nanarchism. Because of this any claims that their ideas are anarchist or that \r\nthey are part of the anarchist tradition or movement are totally false. They are \r\nmerely trying to exploit the movement for capitalist gain.<\/p>\r\n
\"Anarcho\"-capitalists claim to be anarchists because they \r\nsay that they oppose government. As such, they use a dictionary definition of \r\nanarchism. However, this fails to appreciate that anarchism is a POLITICAL \r\nTHEORY<\/b>, not a dictionary definition. As dictionaries are rarely politically \r\nsophisticated things, this means that they fail to recognize that anarchism is \r\nmore than just opposition to government, it is also marked a opposition to \r\ncapitalism (i.e. exploitation and private property). Thus, opposition to \r\ngovernment is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being an anarchist. \r\nOne also needs to be opposed to exploitation and capitalist private property. As \r\n\"anarcho\"-capitalists do not consider interest, rent and profits (i.e. \r\ncapitalism) to be exploitative nor oppose capitalist property rights, they \r\nare not anarchists<\/b>. <\/p>\r\n
So, in what ways do \"anarcho\"-capitalists differ from \r\nanarchists? There are three main ones: <\/p>\r\n
First, unlike both Individualist and Social anarchists, \r\n\"anarcho\"-capitalists support capitalism (a \"pure\" free market type of \r\ncapitalism). This means that they reject totally the ideas of anarchists with \r\nregards to property and economic analysis. For example, like all supporters of \r\ncapitalists they consider rent, profit and interest as valid incomes. In \r\ncontrast, all Anarchists consider these as exploitation and agree with the \r\nIndividualist Anarchist, Benjamin Tucker when argued that: <\/p>\r\n
\"Whom<\/b>ever contributes to production is alone \r\nentitled. What<\/b> has no rights that who<\/b> is bound to respect. What<\/b> \r\nis a thing. Who<\/b> is a person. Things have no claims; they exist only to be \r\nclaimed. The possession of a right cannot be predicted of dead material, but \r\nonly a living person.\"<\/i> [quoted by Wm. Gary Kline, The Individualist \r\nAnarchists<\/b>, p. 73] <\/p>\r\n
And this, we must note, is the fundamental critique of the \r\ncapitalist theory that capital is productive. In and of themselves, fixed costs \r\ndo not create value. Rather value is creation depends on how investments are \r\ndeveloped and used once in place. Because of this, the Individualist Anarchists \r\nconsidered non-labor derived income as usury, unlike \"anarcho\"-capitalists.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Second, anarchists reject the notion of capitalist \r\nproperty rights in favor of possession (including the full fruits of one's \r\nlabor). For example, anarchists reject private ownership of land in favor of a\r\n\"occupancy and use\"<\/i> regime. In this anarchists argue that \"property is \r\ntheft\"<\/i>. <\/p>\r\n
These ideas are an essential part of anarchist politics, \r\nand they cannot be removed without seriously damaging the rest of the foolish \r\nanarchist theory. This can be seen from Tucker's comments that \"Liberty<\/b> \r\ninsists. . . [on] the abolition of the State and the abolition of usury; on no \r\nmore government of man by man, and no more exploitation of man by man.\"<\/i> . He \r\nindicates that anarchism has specific economic and<\/b> political ideas, that \r\nit opposes capitalism along with the state. Therefore anarchism was never purely \r\na \"political\" concept, but always combined an opposition to oppression with an \r\nopposition to exploitation. The social anarchists made exactly the same point. \r\nWhich means that when Tucker argued that \"Liberty<\/b> insists on \r\nSocialism. . . - true Socialism, Anarchistic Socialism: the prevalence on earth \r\nof Liberty, Equality, and Solidarity\"<\/i> [Instead of a Book<\/b>, p. 363] he \r\nknew exactly what he was saying and meant it. <\/p>\r\n
This combination of the political and economic is \r\nessential as they mutually reinforce each other. Without the economic ideas, the \r\npolitical ideas would be meaningless and inequality would make a mockery of \r\nthem. As Kline notes, the Individualist Anarchists' \"proposals were designed \r\nto establish true equality of opportunity . . . and they expected this would \r\nresult in a society without great wealth or poverty. In the absence of \r\nmonopolistic factors which would distort competition, they expected a society \r\nlargely of self-employed workmen with no significant disparity of wealth between \r\nany of them since all would be required to live at their own expense and not at \r\nthe expense of exploited fellow human beings.\"<\/i> <\/p>\r\n
Third, by removing the underlying commitment to abolish \r\nnon-labor income, any \"anarchist\" capitalist society would have vast differences \r\nin wealth and therefore power. Instead of a government imposed monopolies in \r\nland, money and so on, the economic power flowing from private property and \r\ncapital would ensure that the majority remained in power. The Individualist \r\nAnarchists were aware of this paradox and so supported economic ideas that \r\nopposed usury (i.e. rent, profit and interest) and ensured the worker the full \r\nvalue of his or her labor. While not all of them called these ideas \"socialist\" \r\nit is clear that these ideas are socialist in nature and in aim (not all the \r\nIndividualist Anarchists called themselves anarchists but their ideas are \r\nclearly anarchist in nature). <\/p>\r\n
Last, Because \"anarcho\"-capitalists embrace capitalism and \r\nreject socialism, they cannot be considered anarchists or part of the anarchist \r\ntradition. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"Because "anarcho"-capitalists embrace capitalism and reject socialism, they cannot be considered anarchists or part of the anarchist tradition.

Specifically, the elimination of employment in favor of the support of worker's collectives where the workers OWN the means of production yet sell their wares on the market IS NOT exploitive. Such collectives can self manage in a non-hierarchical fashion. \r\n\r\nIt is my personal opinion that the issues underlying a just society have nothing to do with the capitalism\/socialsm distinction. The important issues have everything to do with the ethical system that guides individuals in their economic decisions combined with the question of whether or not there exists hierarchy. In my estimation, hierarchy is unethical because it violates the Kantian principle that one should never use another as a means to one's own ends. Hierarchy subverts the sovereignty of the individual that finds herself in a position of subserviance. \r\n\r\nAll economic systems can be reduced to the same principles. This includes both communist and capitalist systems. What matters is the basis of the decisions that are made in the exchange of goods and the relationship between the worker and the means of production. So long as the worker owns the means of production and a just ethics guides the individual's economic choices, an anarcho-capitalist system, based on these principles, becomes communist. Moreover, it becomes anarcho-communist as the individual voluntarily practices socialism. Voltantary socialism is called "a gift economy" and that is what I support. \r\n\r\nIt mystifies me why a group of mentally ill individuals engaged in online hate activities against Arabs, Muslims, and Anarchists; engaged in online terrorism; and engaged in reporting anarchists to the police, would come to this newswire to pontificate on a philosophy they have no understanding of.\r\n","author":"Rational Anarchist","parent_id":85859,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-02 08:42:29","modified":"2003-10-02 08:42:29","fileurl":""},{"id":85871,"heading":"Deep thinking is not a KOBE trait.","article":"Studies prove that authoritarians view ideological questions in black and white.

But it will not take any more resistance to prevent anarchy than it would be to prevent attacks by a child armed with cooked noodles.\r\n\r\nAnarchy has no chance, because its deluded adherents have no plan, no strategy (Note to Stevie: Bumper stickers don't count as strategy), and no historical precedent. They can't even decide on a working definition of anarchy. There's Steve, who embraces Capitalism and has sworn to defend the Constitution, yet somehow considers himself an anarchist. Yeah, I know...must be some use of recreational chemicals involved to rationalize THAT one. A group of people dedicated to the idea of no heirarchy, coming together to take over an unwilling nation? More recreational chemicals.\r\n\r\nThen there's anarchy's Golden Boy, Sherman Austin, who got his butt in a wringer because he never DREAMED his calls for the violent overthrow of the Constitution would have any consequences. (Your Honor, I forgot it was illegal...?)\r\n\r\nIf these are anarchy's finest, the Republic will stand forever.","author":"nonanarchist","parent_id":85859,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-04 08:00:08","modified":"2003-10-04 08:00:08","fileurl":""},{"id":86464,"heading":"Hey nonanarchist, I am making you an honorary KOBE!","article":"As you have probably gathered, we are NOT terrorists.
