My job at the anarchist commune is to stand at the gate and deny entry to people who think that making video essays is a valid job at the anarchist commune

@vriska Yeah I get it. We are the real anarchists and you are a closeted tankie.

@xianc78 you're gay

An ancap walks into a bar. The bartender says: sorry we don't serve alcohol to minors. :laugh-about-it:

@dushman @vriska History says otherwise.

@xianc78 @vriska
Write your own arguments :laugh-about-it:

@dushman @vriska Gaelic Ireland, the Iceland Commonwealth, Bronze Age India, and The American Wild West are examples of historical societies that were basically anarcho-capitalist. Some have even lasted longer than the US.

@xianc78 @vriska
>societies that were basically anarcho-capitalist

Literally how?

@xianc78 @vriska
Those societies ended long before capitalism even formed

@dushman @vriska Capitalism as in the voluntary exchange of goods and services. These societies were stateless with some even having privatized courts and security (in the case of Ireland and Iceland). Bronze Age India had large cities with infrastructure funded by merchants. The towns in the American Old West were built on private infrastructure, including the security.

@xianc78 @vriska
>Capitalism as in the voluntary exchange of goods and services
That's a bit reductive and doesn't really encompass other fundamentals it rests upon

@xianc78 @vriska
Also you need a state to enforce private property

@dushman @vriska @nyx As I have already demonstrated, history proves otherwise.

Some guy trading camels during the bronze age isn't the same as a modern transnational corporation. You're talking about wildly different material conditions here.
