Capitalism.


Capitalism is pretty much the whole right of the spectrum. The level of authoritarianism changes, but not the love of free markets. I would argue capitalism cannot survive without a state, however.

If there are two dozen people in a room with you, and the only people who see the massive swarm of slugs coming out of the door are you and the two guys you pay to back you up, do you consider the idea that what you're seeing might not be real? That it's more likely you're wrong than a disparite group of outsiders are all wrong for no reason?

When you have five other groups of conflicting and sometimes intersecting opinions and none of them see what you do, should you consider the idea that what you're seeing is a hallucination? A delusion?

FFS it's like Tumblrinas convinced that the world is out to get them. The only difference is one forms a voting bloc and the other doesn't.

How about this? Let's have five people who all saw a crime scene and are being brought-in for questioning. You, Felrik, UMN, Italios, and Jochi. The crime scene was in the French Quarter. Two people got into a fight that turned into a riot.

That's actually a very accurate way of describing things. In terms of having different political opinions, one would be influenced by preexisting attitudes for the sake of consistency (in parallel with the present location the witnesses were in) and as a result, convincing them of adjusting their view might mess up that consistency of what they already believe.

Yeah, which is why AnCap is seen with disbelief among anarchists - private industry itself would become its own vertical governmental system.

Mutualism is left-market anarchism. Get it right.

And I worded it badly - I meant 'free-market systems are on the right'. Mutualism is hardly a 'free-market system' - it is an artificial market system (don't ask what that means I haven't read the theory).
I mean 'state' as in "noticeably vertical hierarchical system". So kinda all of those meanings.

Pretty much. That is where all anarchists agree, but resource management and the presence of a market and the type of market is what divides the ideologies.

Never heard of mutualism.
Okay, I looked at the Wikipedia summary and I still don't understand it really. I don't hate it.
After all, in ancapistan, one corporation suing another would probably be unable to make the other pay up if they didn't sign up to the same court. Or they might try, and fail spectacularly, I dunno.

Nazism is modernist as fuck though, while Neo-Pharaonism wants a return to the ideals of pre-Islamic, even to an extent pre-Hellenic Egypt.

Also, with the whole "capitalism needs a state" which definition of state are you using? State as hierarchies, state as way for ruling class to maintain control, state as monopoly on violence?

Mattopilos said "pretty much" which implies that some is not - this would cover feudalism, which only a very small and unusual minority advocate a return to. Distributism and "right-wing socialism" both retain the capitalist mode of production - what they reject is liberal capitalism. "Hyper-reactionary neo-Pharaonic afrocentrism" seems like something you just made up. Mutualism is left-wing. Primitivists tend to be left-wing, and any hypothetical right-wing primitivist would be part of an even smaller and more unusual minority than those who advocate the resurrection of feudalism and would similarly be part of the minority implicitly acknowledged by "pretty much".

It is quite a complicated thing to get your head around. But as I said above, it is essentially a left-wing anarchic market system.

Also, with the whole "capitalism needs a state" which definition of state are you using? State as hierarchies, state as way for ruling class to maintain control, state as monopoly on violence?


Mutualism is left-market anarchism. Get it right.

And I worded it badly - I meant 'free-market systems are on the right'. Mutualism is hardly a 'free-market system' - it is an artificial market system (don't ask what that means I haven't read the theory).
I mean 'state' as in "noticeably vertical hierarchical system". So kinda all of those meanings.

Do me, I want central planning in major sectors of the economy (agriculture, heavy industry, housing), but want community-based distribution of goods.

I want this under either a Constitutional Monarchy or Republic, which has the Church as an advisory body that can veto legislation.

>neo-Pharanism is Nazi
Nazism is modernist as fuck though, while Neo-Pharaonism wants a return to the ideals of pre-Islamic, even to an extent pre-Hellenic Egypt.

Oh.
That's weird to me, but okay...

Okay, I looked at the Wikipedia summary and I still don't understand it really.


It is quite a complicated thing to get your head around. But as I said above, it is essentially a left-wing anarchic market system.

Ah. That would be interesting to try out in an experiment.

Also including their wider star system, a federation since 2213. Most colonies are named for characters of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's Don Quixote.

Alright, it probably does tbh.

Never heard of mutualism.
Okay, I looked at the Wikipedia summary and I still don't understand it really. I don't hate it.
After all, in ancapistan, one corporation suing another would probably be unable to make the other pay up if they didn't sign up to the same court. Or they might try, and fail spectacularly, I dunno.

You can ask about mutualism on the Left-Wing Discussion Thread, if you'd like.
