Why are communists so economically illiterate, bros?
Nah m8, leave them alone, they're bound to a failed ideology that is consigned to the trash bin of history
Angel Rogers
Because they are stupid collectivists, and collectivists cannot into economics

William Johnson
Can somebody explain anarcho-capitalism?
Hudson White
No government, just corporations.
Instead of police trained and employed by the state we'd have security hired by mega-corps.
Most civic functions are outsourced to the private sector.

>libertarians think they are smarter than communists when they are constantly being manipulated by communist intellectuals into doing exactly what serves the interests of the international communist movement
Jeremiah Parker
So, what would prevent these corporations from just, you know, acting like an oppressive state?
Leo Perez
It's like they haven't realized it's already too late
Lucas Butler
Congratulations, you are now smarter than the average ancap.
Alexander Thomas
whats with all the commie-bullying today?
Connor Richardson
Literally nothing ancaps are retarded
Benjamin Young
All day every day until you like it.
Samuel Garcia
not that I'm really complaining, but there's usually some commies trying to defend themselves and their ideology. but they seem curiously absent today.
Angel Moore
>capitalism is a universally emergent effect >implying it wasn't invented a few decades before Marx wrote about it
Jackson Peterson
No government. The Non-Agression Principle serves as the main law code. If someone violates the NAP, then people are free to defend themselves.
With no government, there is no monopoly on civic functions. That means security, waste management, etc. is done by private companies. Thus, situations not handled well lead to firing, not paid leave or just a "we're sorry". This eliminates issues like police brutality, corruption, unpunished negligence, and disasters like the Flint water crisis.
With the lack of government, there are also no lobbying corporations. If a business does not provide sufficiently to its customer, then it must find a way to do so or fail. In such a system, competition will naturally lead to better products and more customer satisfaction. Competition also empowers the proletariat, as business owners would have to provide the best benefits to gain the most workers.
Wyatt Jones
Fuedalism is the most "natural" social/economic system. Still shit though
Nathan Gray
So, if someone like forces you to stick to a contract that you have realized does not benefit you, they would be stopped by a community that respects NAP?
Remember when Stef called immigration 'moving'? Now he's against it for some reason.
Justin Sullivan
Corporate personhood and built-in obsolescence really need to go.
Evan Williams
Everyone agrees with you, like 90% of the population. It's just that slightly more than half of the people politicians talk to disagree with you.
Brody Moore
>So, if someone like forces you to stick to a contract that you have realized does not benefit you, they would be stopped by a community that respects NAP? Yes.

Well, they've never figured out Marginalism despite it being close to 125 years old. I'd say they're just stupid.

>mfw I hear communists say 'capitalists do x' or 'capitalism was created by y'
Incoherent statement. Capitalists "do X" all the time and it was created by very specific historical circumstances.
>mfw communists believe so strongly in central planning and cultural control that they refuse to acknowledge universally emergent aspects of human society
Centralized planning is just a strawman projected onto communism to make it sound more spooky to the masses. We're not necessarily against it but don't see it as the ultimate end of society either.
>mfw communists think they are providing the moral and political antithesis to capitalism
It has nothing to do with any abstract notions of morality and everything to do with the fact that we've already proven it's inevitability. Everything is subject to change and destruction, the existing capitalist world order is no more immortal than the old feudal one. And there can be only one possible alternative for the future.
>when in fact they're just another group of statists attempting to disrupt or leech off of the market
A pathetic claim coming from chumps like you. Nowhere on the planet will you find more outrageous apologetics for statism than in the work of Mises, Hayek, Friedman and the like. All of whom openly advocated for the perpetual existence of a state, police force, standing army, and plutocracy.
Speaking of any kind of individualism without communism can only be seen as laughable. Capitalism, like every other class system, ruthlessly stamps out any attempt at individual development. The highest goal of this society from the start is seen as the collective worship and expansion of capital. The ideal bourgeois is one that is willing to sacrifice his/her own happiness without hesitation for the goal of senseless accumulation of wealth. There can be no liberty on earth so long as man has a god to worship. Call it Zeus or capital, I don't care.

Isn't this a pipe dream though? What's to stop the corporations from merging together into super-conglomerates and becoming the de-facto government?
Daniel Scott
"anarcho"-capitalism is one of the most idiotic and contradictory ideologies ever thought up of
this is why there is not a single good essay written on it because it's only supported by deluded retards and edgy teens on Veeky Forums

Lol your supposed proof "Das Kapital" has been proven wrong many times unless you can prove labor theory of value is wrong and that the proles actually want to over throw the masses not just emulate them and that technological progress isn't constantly creating new markets to derive profits from then no half decent economist will ever believe in communism. So yes your "proof" is dead wrong
Jayden Kelly
My mistake that should say prove labor theory of value is correct. Which btw it is not
Charles Ross
>I advocate voluntary leftism under an anarcho-capitalist system i.e. workers owning means of production and a general semi-agrarian life, voluntarily ... What ?
James Hughes
How would you know whether there is any merit to the labour theory of value? There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that you understand it in the slightest.
Incidentally, the most commonly cited supposed "proof" against the labour theory of value is Okishio's theorem, which is fundamentally flawed because it's assumes a Saffrian simultaneous determination of input and output prices.
This renders it worthless as a critique of Marxian economics since assuming the simultaneous determination of input and output prices is identical to assuming the labour theory of value to be false (since under the assumption, the socially necessary labour time to produce the outputs cannot change their prices).
Please stay out of arguments you aren't remotely equipped to have in the future, thanks.

Ryan Myers
I'm sure "anarcho captalism" if implemented would basically be England during the industrial revolution with everyone living in squalor being payed in food tokens at the place of money. Fucking an-caps forget that some regulation is not a bad thing as its stops people from selling their kids into slavery in the coal mines because they can afford bread. Unregulated capitalism is a working mans fucking nightmare and you are too fucking retarded to see that.
Caleb Gomez
>>mfw I hear communists say 'capitalists do x' I agree that generalizations in such an heterogeneous group are mostly retarded. Saying "communists say x" is the exact same thing though.
>or 'capitalism was created by y' Capitalism was pretty much enforced by the state, if that is what you are referring to.
>mfw communists believe so strongly in central planning and cultural control that Communists are opposed to both central planning and cultural control. If you are going to complain about what communists supposedly say about capitalists, at least don't straw man them in return.
>they refuse to acknowledge universally emergent aspects of human society If you mean capitalism, then marxists do see it as a historically desirable emergent social system.
>mfw communists think they are providing the moral and political antithesis to capitalism when in fact they're just another group of statists Communism is by definition stateless, your statement is a logical contradiction.

Carter Harris
It's very easy to understand marx's assumption that labor in a pedicure determines its price is wrong because those aren't the only thing determining he price there is the price of resources, scarcity, the portion of income spent on it among others also commies still can't prove the revolution is inevitable because once again profits don't need to be exploited from workers because technological progress creates new markets. So communism never
Jacob Gonzalez
capitalism was planned. read the great transformatin by polanyi faggot

At no point inyourrambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
