Anarcho-capitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While classical capitalists such as Adam Smith also accepted the labor theory of value, most modern economists, including anarcho-capitalists, argue that value is subjective and adhere to marginalism. Conversely, many, including capitalist libertarians and anarcho-capitalists, use the term "anarchism" with a definition that simply means "without the State".

append1.txt In capitalist economies, most people are entitled to food only if they can sell their labour/liberty to those who own the means of life (which increases the economic insecurity of wage workers). If a group of people wanted to set up a capitalist, Marxist, Georgist or whatever kind of community then their right would be respected (although, of course, anarchists would seek to convince those who live in such a regime of the benefits of anarchism!). Thus their references to "human freedom" as the way in which such inequalities would allegedly come about means "freedom of capitalists to exploit workers;" it does not mean "freedom of workers *from* capitalist exploitation." But "freedom to exploit workers" has historically been the objective only of capitalists, not anarchists. flag.blackened.net /intanark/faq/text/append1.txt   (19408 words)

ipedia.com: Anarcho-capitalism Article It would be an understatement to claim that anarcho-capitalism's place within the anarchist tradition is hotly contested (see); in fact, it is disowned by most anarchists, who believe that capitalist economic relations constitute a form of social domination, and thus contradict the fundamental anarchist belief in freedom. Vernor Vinge's short story "The Ungoverned" depicts anarcho-capitalists defending against an invading government. They regard capitalist corporations as being the product of voluntary contracts and thus a legitimate and efficient way for people to organize, with freedom to choose a competitor or to enter competition as the universal way to preserve and promote quality in services. www.ipedia.com /anarcho_capitalism.html   (4391 words)

Anarchist Theory FAQ Version 5.2 Anarcho- capitalists are thinking of how competing firms would prevent the rise of abusive protection monopolists in a society where most people don't support the existence of such a monopolist. Anarcho- capitalists also often note that while the United States has never been an anarchist society by any stretch of the imagination, that before the 20th-century the United States came closer to their pure laissez-faire ideals than any other society in history. Anarcho-capitalists find that the argument works in precisely the opposite direction. www.gmu.edu /departments/economics/bcaplan/anarfaq.htm   (17216 words)

Untitled Document The apparent enthusiasm of many so-called anarchists for the bourgeosie "welfare state", for example, indicates that they have not developed any critique of the state beyond that advanced by ordinary leftwing theoreticians who see the state merely as an expression of the economic power of the capitalist class. The eight-hour day, the right to organize unions, read sexually explicit literature, practice contraception and obtain abortions and engage in antiwar protests, prison reform and countless other rights and privileges that we take for granted today did not exist at the time of the classical anarchist movement. This view ignores the classical Bakunist position that the state is a social class in and of itself with power and privilege beyond that of even the economic elite. www.attackthesystem.com /anarchism2.html   (1858 words)

There is NOTHING anarchistic about capitalism! Because "anarcho" capitalists use the market as their sole gauge of good and bad, they are, in effect, unable to make effective moral judgments! But "anarcho" capitalists don't want any part of that; they cling to vague notions of "freedom" and "liberty" that simply fail to stand up under scrutiny. Further, the "anarcho" capitalists will still require a court system, and thus laws, to uphold property rights and contracts! a4a.mahost.org /huckster.html   (1824 words)

Free / Open Source Research Community (Online Papers) Although in the literature there are empirical studies that explore the relationships between license choice and project characteristics (Lerner and Tirole, 2002a), at present we are not aware of surveys that collect data on licensors, that is on firms producing and distributing software on an Open Source basis. This issue has been particularly prominent in economists' contributions to the literature, and it reflects a view that widespread voluntary participation in the creation of economically valuable goods that is to be distributed without charge constitutes a significant behavioral anomaly. The labor and industrial organization literatures provide lenses through which the structure of open source projects, the role of contributors, and the movement's ongoing evolution can be viewed. opensource.mit.edu /online_papers.php?&orderby=authors   (13545 words)

Private Creation and Enforcement of Law: A Historical Case But it ought to be no less interesting to the student of history as the birthplace of a brilliant literature in poetry and prose, and as the home of a people who have maintained for many centuries a high level of intellectual cultivation. The quality of violence, in contrast to other medieval literature, is small in scale, intensely personal (every casualty is named), and relatively straightforward. Rape and torture are uncommon, the killing of women almost unheard of; in the very rare cases when an attacker burns the defender's home, women, children, and servants are first offered an opportunity to leave. www.daviddfriedman.com /Academic/Iceland/Iceland.html   (5689 words)

EconLog, Austrian Economics, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty However, a careful examination of the facts reveals that, on balance, there has been more of a steady move towards capitalist forms of organization Here is my dilemma with the "imperfect knowledge" literature : if knowledge is understood to be the accumulation of information, and the accumulation of information is understood to place us closer to "what is really happening" (i.e., the truth), then the Information Age should make us better off. Their understanding of uncertainty is not overcome by simply accumulating more information, or installing better monitors. econlog.econlib.org /archives/2003/11/austrian_econom.html   (3320 words)

James's Liberty file collection index The earliest statement of the anarcho capitalist position Most of the old literature on natural law and natural rights, notably the writings of John Locke, has become incomprehensible because we no longer have the background knowledge of natural law that those writers assumed.

Dissecting Leftism Capitalistic wolves in liberal sheep's clothing Stop lining the pockets of liberals who dress up as innocent lambs and expose them for what they really are: opportunistic, socialistic and divisive They have been in the academic literature for over 30 years and are also on the internet. Leftist attacks on gun usage are of course ho-hum stuff on the political scene (even I get hate-mail for my occasional pro-gun postings) but they also figure in psychology -- with the claim being that people who like guns are "death merchants" etc and are also of course thoroughly deranged. dissectleft.blogspot.com /2004_08_01_dissectleft_archive.html   (7841 words)

Untitled Document Economic arrangements of a voluntarist nature can be either socialist or capitalist in nature. When surveying the literature of conservative critics of libertarianism, one is immediately struck by the vagueness, shallowness and frequent incoherence of conservative attempts at rebutting the libertarian position. Left-libertarians might argue that laws banning hate speech or the dissemination of racist or homophobic literature should not be repealed until racism or intolerance of gay people has completely disappeared from human society, something that may never happen. www.attackthesystem.com /libcon.html   (11609 words)

{ ~ Black Guile ~ } Consider: a bachelor's degree is the ticket to participation in the state capitalist machine.

AUTHORITARIANISM, RACISM AND ANARCHOCAPITALISM If so, it would be something that anarchocapitalists would applaud. Eckhardt's claim that authoritarians are punitive, however, simply shows that he is not up-to-date with the literature. Eckhardt's final comment on my paper before he goes on to a (very sound and honest) discussion of the politics of psychologists expresses some confusion about just what it means to be old-fashioned. jonjayray.tripod.com /anarch.html   (3145 words)

one small voice And not just starry-eyed communalists -- even long-time capitalists like me are active in the open-source world, often spending nights and weekends working to make things that we give away. Over the years I've had a hard time describing to my capitalist friends why I am so active in the open-source community (specifically Jabber) -- when I tell them it's a communalistic meritocracy, they look at me funny. Eventually it seems that I became the de facto leader of the Jabber community, which is an odd position for a moderate anarchist to be in, since every fiber of my being resists the temptation to give orders and tell people what to do. www.saint-andre.com /blog/2004-03.html   (5090 words)

Dissecting Leftism You can say that we have a free press rather than a capitalist one but since mass media do tend to be big businesses this can be made to sound implausible too.

Archived Weblog Entry - 02/11/2004: "Dave Gross on living morally and ethically" But these aren't to be used purely intellectually, or taken on faith, but should be understood as things that have informed and nurtured a larger ethical "sixth sense" - one that almost certainly needs continuing nurturing. Well, I think it can help to be informed by ethical philosophy, and I think there's probably plenty to be absorbed from folklore, literature, religion, and the like.

Public Opinion and Islam - Pacers Digest In fact there was such strength and exuberance that people talked about the much-awaited Islamic renaissance starting in the U.S. The commonly touted rationale was that only in the West could Muslim scholars express their opinion freely without being ostracized or sometimes even branded an infidel. Many important scholars of contemporary Islam and Muslims such as Hossein Nasr, Cherif Bassiouni and Ali Mazrui were in the U.S. Islamicists such as John Esposito, John Voll, John Woods and Ralph Braibanti wrote about Islam and Muslims with empathy and sensitivity. Books written in the English language were quickly becoming important new additions to the Islamic literature. www.pacersdigest.com /forums/showthread.php?t=6104   (6569 words)

sp000043.txt ADVERTISMENTS SOCIALIST LITERATURE Philadelphia Solidarity, "a group of socialists attracted by the concept of anti-hierarch- ical workers' councils and repell- ed by the bureaucracy of the vanguard workers' parties" has lots of literature available. I just basically thought if you're going to screw somebody to survive, it would be better to screw a huge, lifeless corporation than an individual, especially when your underpaid sweat goes into the building of that corporation. I felt at the time that it was not even worthy of mentioning, but readers should at least have the right to know that censorship is taking place. www.spunk.org /texts/pubs/meander/sp000043.txt   (6230 words)

The Trouble With Libertarian Activism by N. Stephan Kinsella — often unfamiliar with the great body of libertarian literature and want to reinvent the wheel from a clean slate (many engineers, in my experience, take a similar pragmatic, isolated, almost anti-intellectual approach in their views on politics). Now I don’t know if this observation applies to our current author, but he does seem blithely unaware that his stab at theory is nothing more than a rudimentary version of what utilitarian legal theorist Richard Epstein proposed in his book Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain. Aside: I have long noticed that many brash young libertarians of the activist flavor who are not all that interested in theory and What Has Gone Before are — perhaps influenced by Rand? www.lewrockwell.com /kinsella/kinsella19.html   (1646 words)
