I’m not interested because you simply aren’t interested, if you haven’t done the steps to understand economics, you can’t possibly understand how socialism is simply fundamentally non-viable without a state. Maybe i’m missing something, but as far as i know all you can do is spread the damage from an area to another. Same goes for investments. The absense of a price discovery system is the whole reason why communist russia collapsed on it’s own weight, in conjuction with blatant insanity.

Acknowledging that you are not interested in conversation, I’ll spit out some propaganda too.
The anarchist population and movement is bigger than it has ever been. We are in every country. Some of us are fighting in the street and in our workplaces. Some of us are making videos, books, music, zines, blogs, bombs, love, and peace. We all share the goal of equality in liberty. Most of us are willing to fight for that world and lose, rather than accept domination and oppression. Viva L’libertad!

i would’ve taken the time to watch the rest of these videos, but the outline here is very painful and shows me ignorance on the subject that could easilly be googled and researched within a couple of days. It seems anti-capitalists always share the same misconception of the myth of monopolies. And, i just don’t see how it’s economically viable, or possible, without reverting back to a state controlled society later on. You can’t calculate all the economic input and make a viable economic plan.
You completely …
You completely missed the point, but you’re free to abandon it.

I’ll check them out tonight and let you know what I think.

You may enjoy my last 2-3 videos on the subject of capitalism/property and the state.
Here were some of …
Here were some of the reasons why I abandoned anarcho-capitalism: (1) it doesn’t object to authoritarianism or rulership, only the state (2) the propertarian view inherently devolves into a state or state-like entities, with respect to land (3) it is usually based on a limiting of ethics to non-aggression, whereas I believe there is more to ethics than the question of aggression (4) some of them are apologists for corporatism, and take a centralized model of buisiness for granted.

Sorry, it has taken me much longer than expected to produce the next video in the series. In any case, I will be uploading it here soon. I have finished the script for the next video and am about to record it, but it takes a little bit to upload it. It doesn’t discuss how we would do things so much as why anarcho capitalism isn’t actually Anarchism. However, after this series I will make videos on how we would organize society as opposed to Anarcho Capitalists.
i’m looking forward …
i’m looking forward to this serie as well. I would consider myself an anarcho capitalist i guess cause that’s the only ‘’system” i know something about. I don’t understand how as an anarchist you can’t be an anarcho capitalist since capitalism to me is the free exchange of goods and ideas and i don’t really see an other way to have anarchy with out this.
Actually, your …
Actually, your assumption hits the nail on the head for several reasons. I’ll go in to them in my next few videos.
I’m looking forward …
I’m looking forward to the rest of this series as I am really unschooled in the concept of “anarcho”-capitalism. I haven’t looked further into it because I honestly don’t think I’m going to be persuaded by their argument. It seems to me that capitalism of any stripe leads inevitably to exploitation (for one thing) so I’ve dismissed it purely on that basis. I’m ready to learn more though and am willing to be proved wrong in my basic assumption. I hope this video creates some civil discussion.
