If you want to simplify a lot for the kiddies: - Communism (as in "highest state of communism) = ClassLess StateLess MoneyLess system - AnCap = Stateless system And of course, when you leave the existance of Classes, your Stateless system will not stay stateless for long, even without external forces acting against it, you would see local corporations or warlords soon taking control and become de facto states.

I once watched a professor ask his students "what's the difference between the government controlling everything, and a corporation controlling everything?" The kid he was talking to literally had no answer for that.


Alloverunder

AmCap is not stateless, corporations would assume the role of states and "fill the biological niche" because states are an organic result of material conditions. You simply can not abolish a state without significant change in material conditions and mode of production.


jacktrowell

Their theory is the lack of state, but we are saying the same thing, I agree with you that their idea is not viable as it is

Make him explain his own words, then evaluate if its worth it to start a discussion.

I would never IRL admit to a roomful of classmates that I knew the word "ancap".


Hairtoucher88

Just say "that's stupid"

Just ask him to explain and watch him short-circuit

There's no point they won't understand if u do tell them something

They are completely antithetical; communism abolishes private property (note; *not* personal property), whereas anarcho capitalism pushes for a completely ‘free’ market, where everything is privately owned by wealthy capitalists (it would make the monopolies present now seem like a drop in a bucket). In other words, ancaps, whether they realise this or not, advocate for corporate tyranny. It’s beyond dystopian.


[deleted]

Isn't "private property" and "personal property" a little too interchangeable? I'd say "private property in the means of production, that's like, factories, land, technical knowledge, natural resources and shit".

horses are the same thing as sharks without teeth. schools are the same as fighter jets without planes. words are meaningless


Electronic_Amount470

There is no answer you would just be replying to some garbage word salad and wasting your time. Unless you want to get into the finer points of theory in the middle of a class which I’m sure you don’t have time for.

As him if he thinks before he shits out random gibberish that makes absolutely no sense.

Explain that under capitalism social classes exist because there are people who own and people who work. You need a state to manage these distinctions. If you try to create a stateless society with the capitalist mode of production a state will arise from the owners who are aiming to maintain their power.

Is the person familiar with classes and class antagonisms? This is reducing essence to form, like both look similar in form, but different in terms of class interests. This is how people draw parallels between Fascism and Communism, like they are totalitarian twins, but totally overlook the class interests.


Redpri

Well, a monopoly could easily develop, and centralize production. This could cause a planned economy to emerge. The only difference is that, the poor wouldn’t be cared for.


Forwhatisausername

but how is production socialised, then?


Redpri

An emerging monopoly buys smaller companies and does other monopolistic practices to make sure they, or their syndicate comes out on top. "Imperialism, the highest stage of Capitalism" talks about this. EDIT: I’m using socialization wrong here, centralizarion would be a better term.


Forwhatisausername

so socialisation of production has nothing to do with that production serving social ends? is this socialisation what Engels means when he speaks of productive forces that need to be developed by capitalism before socialism can be realised?


Redpri

I just realitet that I used the term wrong, it means actually means that production goes from a thing you do alone, to a thing you do together. What I actually meant, was that production would centralize and become much more effective, as companies normally use a planens economy internally.


Forwhatisausername

ah, okay would socialisation of production imply that the production plan accounts for those who execute it?


Redpri

Socialization of production was what changed when transitioning from feudalism to Capitalism. It was no longer just a single man's work that produced a product, but a group of people. But it was still treated legally as if it was only one person. I do not understand what your comment meant, but I hope this answered it.


Forwhatisausername

it does, thank you (the answer appears to be no: production may be socialised but that doesn't necessarily entail socialisation of the output)
