Aaron, is there anything specifically in the article on Capitalism that you think is inacurate or disagree with?

I think we may be approaching this subject in fundamentally different ways. I just don’t share your ‘tragic’ view that such inequality of hierarchy and power is inevitable or necessary, or that it can’t be avoided or its power removed.

Hierarchy has been resisted and mitigated in the past by more cooperative societies, some of which lasted longer than our current one, such as the Indus Valley civilisation in which the common people had indoor plumbing long before capitalism.

However, if you believe in hierarchy of wealth or power then I don’t think that you are an anarchist, because anarchy literally means anti-hierarchy (no one over anyone else). If you believe in capitalism I don’t see how you are an anarchist either, because capitalism literally means a few private individuals having capital which generates wealth & resources, which others have to pay to access. That is a fundamentally hierarchal (anti-anarchist) power relationship.

You might feel that you could place confidence in private insurance agencies, but I would be willing to to bet they will end up protecting those who pay them more, and ultimately give little to no protection to those who can’t afford to pay them. This is because money warps true value and enforces those who have it having power over those who have less, by means of paywalls or paid force.

I’m not a Marxist so I won’t defend Marx’s views, but anarcho-communism (which existed before him) is a system without money, so you can’t apply the same concepts of prices or wages calculated as they are under capitalism. There are no consumer prices, nor wage labour, nor economic / commodity markets at all within anarcho-communism, nor have such concepts existed for most of human history. I would encourage you to study more about traditional Anarchism so you can have a better understanding of it.

I don’t believe you can have negative rights without positive ones (or vice versa) - you cannot allow what you cannot enable & you cannot enable what you do not allow. A right without a way to exercise it is just a hope unlikely to be realised.

These are bigger subjects than this kind of forum allows room for, so I’d encourage you to pick a specific question / claim to write an article on, sharing the link so I can give a proper response. I’ll look forward to reading it.
