Who wants to form an Anarcho-Keynesian commune?

I think this is the ultimate extension of anarchism. Under anarcho-Keynesianism, everyone would be totally bent on “growth” and there would be no one to stop us! No commies or Marxists, no “free market fundamentalists” like Ayn Rand and Mises, no namby pamby pacifists or “Old Economics.” Finally a system for everyone! The best of anarchism, centrally-planned markets, and yes… John Maynard Keynes!

In this commune, we’ll have meetings every morning to discuss Paul Krugman articles in the New York Times, we’ll be fully employed at all times on public works projects, property rights will be sorta half-way as we’ll need to break windows and pitch in huge bucks to fight other communes now and again (but always rebuilding them of course like English gentlemen; other Keynes communes will just have insurance built-in so it won’t matter). But it won’t be one of those Jonestown type deals like Anarcho-syndicalism or anarcho-communism.

Just think: a whole economy built on blowing crap up, big statues and monuments of stuff, “green” makework and featherbed jobs, ever-widening freeways and interstates, and no gridlocked Washington DC to stand in our way!

… do I get to have my own printing press?

Trademark that. Right now.

Super abundant capital goods, 15 hour work weeks and rocks that turn into bread. Good times.

I have a great idea for what we can call this commune! We shall name it America!

Wait a minute..

Unnecessary! Keynesianism will bring about a scarcityless millenium within one generation! That’s what Prophet Keynes says!

Does this come with free hyperinflation? I always wanted to know what it feels like to wipe my ass with currency.

We will have to come up with great mind stimulating activities to fill up our days. All of the leisure time will drive us insane.

What about anarcho-mercantalism?

Here we go:

“Anarcho”-corporatism, “anarcho”-mercantilism, “anarcho”-nationalism, “anarcho”-militarism", “anarcho”-fascism, “anarcho”-nazism, “anarcho”-bureaucratism, “anarcho”-blahblahblah

I Trademark all these

You left out the ultimate one: Anarcho-Statism.

Actually, Bryan Caplan used that one first. Therefore, according the the natural law of IP, you owe him an aribitrarily large amount of money for trademark infringement.

Anarcho-mercantilism is also taken. The Anarcho-Mercantilist has written a very good rebuke of left libertarianism. Not that it is very hard.

I see that you’re trolling again. Such off-the-cuff statements are not necessary in this thread.

And that you’d take someone calling themselves “anarcho-mercantalist” seriously is quite revealing.

You mean this wonderful collection of strawmen, misrepresentations, fallacies, and false dualisms?

funny nobody mentioned anarcho conservatism…

and anarcho monarchism…

Damn it, this is getting petty. Can we agree to a general truce outside of specific left-vs.-right threads?

Did I stop?

He gets around the blogosphere. I’ve found his comments and posts more insightful than the usual Anarcho-Diaper Rash Left.

Yeah. That is kickass. I love it.
