Made a little progress with a communist buddy of mine discussing a few points. He finally acknowledged that there is probably economic disparity in China. This is huge as he likes to pretend that their economic policy has pulled everyone out of poverty and it’s simply untrue. Acknowledging this was a bit of a breakthrough. He also seemed to finally grasp my argument that you can’t use the current market as a strong argument against free market because we do not have a free market.
@cee @thatguyoverthere @neet There are other market anarchists (mostly agorists who don't identify as ancap, mutualists, or left-roth) that favor self-employed entrepreneurs over worker-coops or small businesses, but I personally don't think that's feasible.
