Also I live near …
Also I live near Josiah Warren’s settlement of Utopia, Ohio. They still use labor certificates. They are opposed to wages for labor, not necessarily any particular economic system. I am opposed to wages ethically as well, however, I prefer percentage profit sharing. In my opinion (which isn’t worth much), ethics concerning Natural Law among left and right anarchists does not clash EXCEPT in economics. No uniformity is possible in economics, or any other area, without coercion.
I don’t think it’s …
I don’t think it’s valid to say you cannot be an anarchist if you are not anti-capitalist (I’m aware of the double and triple negatives in that sentence..lol). Anarch is a word with root meanings. The prefix “an” is latin for “without”. The word “arch” is short for the latin word “archon”, which means “ruler”. So to be an anarchist, literally, you must ethically oppose rulers. Which presumes a “jurisdiction of the effected”. Hence, economics is really irrelevant.

Why do left …
Why do left anarchists seem to completely ignore the school of Rothbardian, free-market, anarcho-capitalism? You say anarchism is generally anti-capitalism, but there is an entire movement of anarchism that is not. I catch flack from some so-called libertarian friends when I speak of anarchism because in their view anarchism is related to communism, socialism, or some other system that bears no resemblance to the self-government I’m talking about. So what say you of Murray Rothbard and Mises?
I’ve read that same …
I’ve read that same piece by Benjamin Tucker, Free market Anti-Capitalism, and I basically agreed w/ him on this except personally I would not use the word socialism strictly for the reason it is as loaded as the word capitalism. And although the word Anarchy is just as loaded a word, I will use the term free market anarchist when labeling myself. What does need to be said about Tuckers interpretation of Anarchist Socialism is that it IS Voluntary Socialism which is the key., voluntary.
Collectivist …
Collectivist anarchy fails intellectually due to the fact the employee/employer relationship is voluntary.

Your glasses or the shadow from your glasses made it look like your eyebrow wrapped around your head. LOL. I noticed that while I was watching you give Thor socialized education.

I consider myself as an anarchist. I am mainly an extreme nonconformit. People must learn to find there inner self and be as they feel.

I love Rothbard, but I don’t blindly follow the words of anyone no matter how much I respect them. That’s what religious sheeple do. Funny he mentioned etymology, which is a study that includes the phenomenon I explained, that the meaning of words changes over time. Free market advocates often like to disassociate themselves from the word, “anarchy” because of its negative associations. Today they use labels “free market anarchist,” “market anarchist,” “anarcho-capitalist,” etc. to do that.
Quackery …
Quackery revisionism and wishful thinking does not make a thing true. Rothbard, Konkin are frauds to be scorned for promoting quackery and lies. “Anarcho” capitalism is a fraud Trojan horse philosophy meant to fool white working class into supporting capitalism against their beast interests. I’d say they’re doing a fine job. You people are reactionaries/counterrevolutionary. Free association is NOT working for a boss, renting or paying interest under threat of starvation. It never will be.
@truthadvocate No. …
@truthadvocate No. Anarchism has ALWAYS been a part of the broader socialist movement. Anarchism has ALWAYS been opposed to capitalism. Even Rothbard knew this as he said : “We are not anarchists, and that those who call us anarchists are not on firm etymological ground, and are being completely unhistorical”. This was because “all” anarchists had “socialistic elements in their doctrines” and “possessed socialistic economic doctrines in common.”

@crud4,
How poetic. I think they might just be disagreeing with you. What delusions are you talking about?
Nice history lesson …
Nice history lesson. The word originally meant a female dog. Now it’s primarily used to describe a mean female human. Have you ever used it in this way? Of course you have. Anarchy is also a word the definition of which has changed over time as human beings develop new ideas, uncover problems with old ideas, & develop disagreements. Movements commonly divide. This is just an observation of human behavior. There is no absolute ruler that gets to dictate the meaning of a word for all time.

I’ve shown Thor over and over and over direct quotes from Tucker saying he was against property, wage labor for another person, rent and interest. They warp Stirner, Tucker and Spooner just as Rothbard did to fit their capitalist agenda idea which is holding a dominant position over others. They [Thor types] advocate property, wage slavery, rent, interest and usury. They are capitalists. The individualist anarchists did not advocate these things. Thor and his bunch are also racists.
