Anarcho-Capitalism Obliterated on Youtube!

@Adrian, I was just wondering since you said you’d like to make a rebuttal or have a conversation with her. I was thinking a video response back and forth would be interesting to see!

I could actually do that. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not that good with all the drawings and stuff, but I could do that.

This is extremely rambling and isn’t an especially powerful argument.

She says that people make irrational decisions, yet isn’t showing what an irrational decision is outside of what SHE considers to be irrational. She constantly treats Capitalism as Corporatism. She criticizes the Capitalist economic system on basis of her opinions as to what is rational and what is not, and furthermore doesn’t even provide a plausable alternative.

I don’t see how she is any better than the average anarcho-communist hack. Her entire argument could be refuted using just quotations from Human Action, or even Socialism. When your argument cannot stand against a book written decades ago, that is a bad sign.

what do you mean by that?

Have you debated the aveage anarcho-communist hack?
I mean; if all the anarcho-communist hacks had her brain, it would have been awesome and interesting.

Her entire argument could be refuted using just quotations from Human Action, or even Socialism.

Once again, she didn’t make an argument. She was trying to show context and set terms. She said she would cover the mechanics of things in her next video.

She opposes anything that sounds bad to her, too bad she doesn’t care about consistency.

I agree with you William, but there was some identifiable points in the video that could constitute, or take the form of, an argument. If her “set-up” video is flawed, I think the mechanics video will be a little off-key. But I think the rest of her videos will not rely on attacking capitalism but rather trying to show the logistics of anarcho-syndicalism (I think she’s a syndicalist anyway).

So, capitalism is to be blamed and denounced for the many people today that listen to hip-hop and Lady Gaga over Miles Davis… but what about 30-60 years ago, when more people were listening to Miles Davis? Don’t we have “capitalism” to thank for that? As Paul Cantor likes to point out, it’s hard to characterize capitalism/the market as a poor judge and sponsor of talent, when it made Charles Dickens the most successful novelist of the 19th century.

“This video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their YouTube account.”

Too bad.

Whoops, she left. Guess we will never be enlightened as to how the world can be turned into an anarcho-syndicalist paradise.

Yes, this video was not her argument. However, she is setting up false premises. It is like if a physics professor giving a lecture started by saying that there is no such thing as gravity, or if a math teacher claimed that integers don’t exist. It isn’t neccesary to see what else they have to offer, because the premises of their theories are FALSE.
