One of my frustrations with the anarcho-socialists is their idea of perpetual revolution. They focus on overthrowing and redistributing, not building and growing. They, in turn view the anarcho-capitalists as reactionary counter-revolutionaries who dare hold onto ideas of property and leadership and (sometimes) religion as a refusal to make the changes the communists see as necessary to achieve their envisioned end goal.
As I see it, the anarcho-socialists have a preexisting idea of what humanity and society must become, and the revolution cannot end until that happens. The market anarchists try to examine how humans are now, and find ways to circumvent the State and make its claimed authority obsolete. Market anarchists have been among the folks building cryptocurrency to undermine government monetary monopolies.
Meanwhile, the Democrats and Republicans bicker over what color to paint the prison walls.
But I know I'm a crazy extremist. No one cares what I think.
Yeah, much of my frustration and skepticism comes from the way so many — on both sides of the aisle — are always ready to tear down things, but they offer little in the way of tangible solutions that can be made to function (somewhat) in a world where consensus is all but impossible to arrive at.
My biggest issue with (many) anarcho-capitalists is this insistence that society must descend into total lawless chaos, with everything goverment and everything financial going into a total shambles, and the world exists only as a weird form of tribalism with survivalists sitting in theor basements surrounded by 10 years worth of food stores, guns and ammo... and, and big piles of gold and silver. It's too extreme, for my liking.
Actually, you're more sane than most I come across! I live near Seattle, though... which is a crazy place.
@topcomment, please consider @jacobtothe's comment, above.
I think it's less ancaps wanting chaos and more anticipating highly probable chaos. But yeah, there are some vocal collapsitarian accellerationists too.
"Collapsitarian."
That's an awesome word! Thank you for that.
