…a terrific primer for socialist nonsense…
- “To quote libertarian socialist Cornelius Castoriadis:…” [what the hell is a libertarian socialist?]
- “the need for the capitalist to make a profit from the workers they employ is the underlying cause of the business cycle.”
- “[“anarcho”-capitalists] use a dictionary definition of anarchism. However, this fails to appreciate that anarchism is a political theory. As dictionaries are rarely politically sophisticated things, this means that they fail to recognise that anarchism is more than just opposition to government, it is also marked a opposition to capitalism (i.e. exploitation and private property). Thus, opposition to government is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being an anarchist – you also need to be opposed to exploitation and capitalist private property. As “anarcho”-capitalists do not consider interest, rent and profits (i.e. capitalism) to be exploitative nor oppose capitalist property rights, they are not anarchists.”
They literally define “anarchism” as being against the concept of property. It’s supposed to be an FAQ for people who are trying to learn about anarchism, and the very foundation upon which these authors have built is an inherently socialist one.
How in the hell you can find this useful, I have no idea.
