Math is abstract, pure logic. Since it is demonstrable, the answer can only be no.

/Everything/ is /based/ on philosophy, right down to the core of the state. Being based on philosophy is not the same as being philosophy. With ideas, morphology is rampant, as ideology has a way of mutating things. Look at what feminism has turned into. That was based on philosophy as well.

An-archo capitalism is defined by what it is not. It s a purely voluntary society. You could have communes in an-capistan
>>
>>132242393

'Anarcho' is literally a word made up by ideologues for ideologues. Outside of ideological parameters... it isn't a word. The title itself labels it as ideology.

Anarcho allows ideologues to staple their preferred ideology, their preferred beliefs, to the concept of autonomy. Anarchism is a philosophy of self-governance, and becomes compromised when used as a foundation for ideas that are already classified as ideology.
>>
>>132242514

leftists are scum. you're absolutely right. they're entirely unaware of themselves at this point.
>>
>>132242697

AnCap is defined by what its ideological servitude, just like AnPrim and AnCom are. Anarcho-anything is not anarchism.

I'll concede that a truly free world would have plenty of room for every kind of anarchism, as people would be able to freely assemble. Free trade is a wonderful thing and would generate a lot of communities... its just that theres a misconception that capitalism has a monopoly on free trade. So such ownership exists.

The problem with 'arriving at ancapistan' is that it involves states divesting themselves from their interest in at least some held territory to allow for people to go start that voluntary society. States are never going to do that.
>>
>>132243185

[citation needed]

Don't worry, I already got you.

Adam Smith coined capitalism in the 18th century... there are houses in old-world Europe older than capitalism. Free trade was practiced for tens of thousands of years before Smith stapled all of his bullshit to the notion.

Capitalism REQUIRES free trade in order to be practiced. Free trade DOES NOT require capitalism. It's literally that simple.

This is a testament to the corrosive nature of ideology. They take a concept precious to people, something that enables convenience, and hijack it by structuring an entire ideology around it. This is where apologists and their cognitive dissonance stems from.

Free trade/capitalism is an expression of voluntary agreements. It is an expression of property rights. Of course it was around before Smith defined the term.

But the question of how to resolve disputes between people who have entered different social contracts with different police+court entities would have to involve some meta-court (as nauseum or until you arrive at a certain level that you might as well call 'a State')

The USA already has contracts which force signers to resolve disputes in arbitration rather than civil court - and when a party isn't satisfied with the result they often appeal to a real state or federal court.

Overall my point is this, that eventually in AnCapistan a de-facto state will be formed. Maybe even a de-facto state that automatically enrolls your child in its social contract at birth (aka a state like we have now)

AnCapistan is impossible to arrive at because it would require everyone to have an identical interpretation of what 'violations of the NAP' are, and arguably, infinite resources.

They literally don't. Your "rights" and "the abilities afforded to you by the guarantor (state) of your rights" are the same thing. Man in the "natural state" has no rights, he has abilities, and the property that he can secure individual access to. God doesn't make sure that people don't steal your shit.

you know the biggest advocates and thinkers behind capitalism call it an ideology, right? like, thats not even worth arguing against. thats a fact.

crack open any history book, friendo. you can start with the ancient civilizations, examine indigenous tribes, the spanish anarchists, native tribes in the americas. free trade has existed everywhere. literally. pick a time period and you will find voluntary exchange taking place, and no sign of capitalism. they are not the same thing. ideologues have forgotten that, as you are proving.

Capitalism and the Idea of Endless Growth
Exterior shot of the New York Stock Exchange
[Image by Drew Angerer/Getty Images]
Trade is a natural part of any society: one person has always required a good or service from another, even before they could properly communicate. Trade makes survival easier for the individual (and any community), so naturally, a form of economics has structured itself around this necessity: capitalism. What capitalists have forgotten is that capitalism requires free trade to be practiced. Free trade does not need capitalism. Those who practice capitalism have conjured the misconception that their ideology has a monopoly on voluntary exchange. Considering capitalism was coined within the last couple of centuries, in comparison to the (tens of) thousands of years humans have been freely trading, obviously no such monopoly exists./

This is 100% true
The 10 commandments are the unwritten rules to which humans have lived by for thousands of years, Moses merely wrote them down
They're logical conclusions because life is a set of social games and you're supposed to keep playing those games to procreate and make sure humanity survives
Violating the covenant, by murdering someone for example, leads to ostracism, social death, and ultimately genetic death
If you do not follow the 10 commandments you will go to "Hell" (social death) instead of "Heaven" (procreation, family)

He might be wrong in saying that Capitalism is not a form of economics but you're wrong in saying that Capitalism is not eternal
Capitalism is THE economic system, it's economic Darwinism
God is just the top of the hierarchy of the social hierarchy, the most competent and virtuous man created through hypergamy
In a way, God and Capitalism are heavily linked as you're constantly climbing the social ladder by becoming richer (more competent) or by becoming a decent human being who follows the 10 commandments (more virtuous)
>>
>>132247407

McKenna blew that notion apart. Sorry friendo:

Capitalism is absolutely based on predatory habits, not necessarily nature. If we examine a plant, there are no capitalistic habits, as nothing is consumed that isn't immediately replaced. Nature (plants, environments) do everything in their power to keep their soils clean, waters clean, air clean. Capitalism obviously ain't doing that. Lets agree that its based on animals habits, take and give, etc. Predation is the word that many economists agree upon (predatory habits).

Heres the issue: when a wolf pack is hunting the woods to provide, they switch between food sources as to prevent scarcity. this is one of the oldest principles of living in harmony with your environment.

lets say the wolf pack reaches a size of nearly 8 billion, and is operation at a global level. they are consuming /all/ of their food sources at once, and so scarcity is inevitable. this is how the pack starves. they eat all the rabbit, all the deer at once, and when they turn around, nothing is left to sustain them.

Civilized life is like a pocket that you keep filling with money; and you feel good about all the money going into your pocket; but the pocket has a rip, and you're a little worried; that worry gives you incentive to work for more money, and more money, and you will never be satisfied.
The money, and the opiate of civilized life, cause adrenal fatigue and low dopamine; things you used to enjoy will never be as enjoyable again. Rather than be at a stagnate constant level of comfort, your tickle is turning into a bad itch, and that's infecting and turning into a big rash.

Politics means "Compromise".
All civilization is, is the compromise of the working class to funnel money and resources to a class of people that don't want to work, in an environment that has no real resources.

I think the greatest detriment to the idea of civilization, is realizing that people have the capacity to be happier without it than the people that have it.

People want a sense of meaning in their lives, and they fool themselves into thinking that it comes from the work they do; but their work is the work of slaves.

But it can't.
Capitalism, or trade in general, is a compromise for individual benefit.
Each individual in the trade assumes he is the one benefiting at the expense of the other person's deficit.
You essentially have one person thinking "I just traded my peach for that guy's apple; what an idiot". Competition would create lower prices, but that would also mean cheaper wages, because people are always looking for the cheapest sources of labor. It sounds like a good system, because progress is cheap, but it also means that people are going to live until they are unbearably poor, and it isn't going to stop. As I said, it's going to be like they have rips in their pockets; the more money they get, the more they lose; and they only have an ambition to gain more money is because they are losing so much.

No, not really. Each individual is trading something they value less than the thing they're receiving. Usually because the thing they're trading is at an abundance for them.

>You essentially have one person thinking "I just traded my peach for that guy's apple; what an idiot".

More like "I like apples more than peaches, let's trade". So called lunchroom trading that happens in elementary schools.

What a stupidass conclusion. Only dumbass millennials think like this. Competition also means higher wages you dumbass. As one industry gets oversaturated and wages go down other industries get undersaturated and wages go up which shifts where the labor goes. But millennials working at Starbucks often miss this because they're too pussy to redevelop their skillset based on demand.

>>132250941
>Each individual is trading something they value less than the thing they're receiving
Which is benefiting at the expense of another person's deficit. This is fundamentally WHY products become cheap.

If I sell apples, I'm going to sell apples at the most expensive price I could sell them for. If the market doesn't want that price, I will lower my price; I want to make sure that the money getting to me exceeds the money I'm spending to produce the apples; in fact, I want to spend as little as I can to produce apples. To produce as little as I can, I would have to buy the cheapest fertilizers, wheel barrows, etc, which would effectively make competitors selling fertilizer drop their prices, resulting in cheap apples. Everyone seeks the highest return for the lowest cost. The deficit I speak of, is the perpetual cheapness of the individual, because he works for himself only.

>So called lunchroom trading that happens in elementary schools.
Yes, because there's no abundance.
If I trade an apple for a peach at school, it's only because I have one apple. If i had multiple apples, this could be a person that I'd give a free apple to if he were a friend.

>Competition also means higher wages you dumbass.
In an economy that aims for cheaper product, it's going to aim for a cheaper workforce. You may get that higher wage, but it's only because you're worth it. In the industrial revolution, this led to children working the hours that most people would refuse today; in fact, the average working hours of people during the industrial revolution was 100 hours per week. Some millennials only put in 3 hours a day (excluding weekends), but they're often part-time minimum wage jobs which there are alot of, and they are slowly being unable to pay for their living expenses.
>>
>>132250941

>Competition also means higher wages you dumbass.
Another thing wrong with this is your assumption that laborers can set the demand. It's not the laborers making the demand; it's the employers. They set the demand, because they have economic priority. How can your average joe expect a high-wage job? He has to earn it.. In other words, he has to bring value to the table, value that the employers demand.

Do you know what self-ownership is? It is the idea that you own your body and the actions of your body, it is the idea behind criminal punishment, and it is also the idea behind private property.

Voluntarily renouncing legitimate claim over the production of your labor in favor of a specific person does not in any way imply collective rights.

In fact, you could even define inheritances it as payment for the services offered in life, a postmortem payment.

To argue that this implies collective rights is to argue that selling a service implies collective rights, which is beyond retarded.

>Capitalism is absolutely based on predatory habits, not necessarily nature. If we examine a plant, there are no capitalistic habits, as nothing is consumed that isn't immediately replaced. Nature (plants, environments) do everything in their power to keep their soils clean, waters clean, air clean. Capitalism obviously ain't doing that. Lets agree that its based on animals habits, take and give, etc. Predation is the word that many economists agree upon (predatory habits).

All these plants and animals actually shit up their environment in many ways. Capitalism based off nature is more of a competitive argument that ties into the mechanics of evolution.

Salaries are, like every single cost, exposed to supply and demand. An excess of supply in one field generates higher demand, and therefore higher salaries.

Salaries, however, is just a number, purchasing power is what is determinant in our quality of life, and an increased production through competition, as the anon you quoted stated, will ALWAYS make us all wealthier.

Wealth is not salary, wealth is the amount of goods produced by a society.

The problem with anarchism in general is that it is inherently paradoxical. Either you impose restrictions on interactions, which is not anarchy and, without systems to enforce said restrictions will never stay in effect, or you do not restrict interactions, creating the meme that is AnCap.

Anarcho-capitalism can never function on a large scale, but it would have to be implemented globally to stop proper states from conquering AnCapistan. If it were implemented globally there would be nothing to stop corporations from becoming de facto governments and then nothing would change, except you would be paying money to a for-profit company. Refuse to pay rent and you get evicted. Corporations would force systems effectively resembling government, and there would be nothing to stop them from banding together and paralyzing the economy in the event of a boycott.
>>
>>
>>132259849
>Corporations would force systems effectively resembling government

Corporations can't exist without government protection. Large corporations exclusively exist by using governments to create laws and regulations that only they have the money to adhere to. Everything from patents to environmental regulation is used to squeeze out new competition. Mega corporations simply could not survive in a competitive free society.

>No fundamentally products become cheap because efficiency in production, market competition and abundance.
It's cheap fundamentally because of competition.
Competition, as I said, at the expense of someone else's deficit.
It could be implied or indirect; but the point is, by getting something of greater value for something you give (as collateral), you're always benefiting yourself at the expense of someone else's deficit.

>False premise, price is not the only thing consumers look for. There's also convenience (speed) and quality. Not everyone shops at the dollar store.
Those that put their store closer to more people essentially did better; but they bought that property at the behest of the market, which, as I said, was inherently selfish.
>Quality
You're only satisfied with quality for as long as that quality exists in high demand. If we were talking about a tool, then you're probably paying extra for higher quality, but you probably wouldn't have gone with the higher quality if it were advantageous to get the cheaper grade products. It depends on your need or situation in the MARKET. If this were a video game console, then you're only keeping up with the jones', so to speak, because there's nothing inherently better about the ps4 over the Super Nintendo, for example. You can say "Well, it has all these new parts and new technologies", but I could say that I had more fun on the super nintendo (which I did). The graphics, sound and controls are just marketing at its finest.

Everything in a capitalist society is built to entrance buyers.
Your essentials (food, water, shelter) can be cheap, majority of people are stuck in capitalism and go for everything.

>blah blah blah I think price is the only motivator in a capitalist society thus my entire premise is flawed and childish
Well it really is the only motivator.

>You're completely incorrect. If I trade $5 for some burgers, I'm winning because I get some delicious burgers and the owner is winning because he is generating a profit.

You buy 5 dollars worth of burgers because the burgers were worth more to you than the money you gave the owner.
The owner sold burgers to you, because he realized he could sell you cheap dog shit for 5$. You're both benefiting from the other's deficit.
Again... This is why capitalism always gets cheap product. The ones that don't sell (the expense is too great, whether that be the quality, the convenience, or the price) will lose out, because the competitor with the cheapest available resources was able to make some money. When walmart came to my town, a lot of people went out of business. You could say "Walmart offered cheaper prices", but the ironic thing is that though the prices are cheaper, the cost of living is still going up.

You're fucking stupid. There is no "deficit" in voluntary trade. People are voluntarily giving something to receive something. If the trade wasn't worth it to the parties, then it wouldn't happen. People don't willingly do trades where there is a deficit only through coercion do these types of trades happen.

But honestly, I think you're an brainwashed imbecile so I won't try to explain this to you any further.
