[edit] 3rd paragraph
I feel as a reader the 3rd paragraph in the introduction is hard to read. I can't place it, but it just doesn't seem to 'flow' very well Jinothius (talk) 08:37, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Fictional Literature Addition
Viception (http://viception.wordpress.com/) is a fictional anarcho-capitalist book. I tried adding it before, but was overruled. Will someone add it? Ravulio --(talk), 17 March 2011 —Preceding undated comment added 03:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC).
[edit] Anarcho-capitalism isn't anarchism...
...so why the association between the two theories? I'm not saying that anarcho-capitalism is invalid or non-existant. I just find it odd that many anarchists have paid dearly for fighting capitalism as an authoritarian institution over the years only for some right-libertarians to come along and corrupt the term. Anarchy means no authority, yet employers and landlords hold authoritarian positions inseparable from capitalism. Furthermore, because the two theories oppose each other, associating them only serves to confuse to the detriment of both theories. How about removing the association and just listing individualist anarchism as an influence? KLP (talk) 04:50, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- On wikipedia we go by what reliable sources say, not personal opinions. CarolMooreDC (talk) 05:10, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't disagreed with or contradicted any reliable sources in clarifying the distinction between anarcho-capitalists and anarchists. Let's avoid confusing readers. KLP (talk) 15:38, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's not even clear what you are proposing or for what article, so one must assume you want to delete this article and move it under individualist anarchism, which would be very much vs. the many WP:RS that support this. I should have just asked you to clarify your unclear proposal. CarolMooreDC (talk) 20:45, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- I have a couple of proposals for this article:
- Change comparisons between anarcho-capitalists and social anarchists to comparisons between anarcho-capitalists and most anarchists. Individualist anarchists also oppose capitalism.
- Move the capitalism category box above the anarchism box. Capitalism is the primary constituent of anarcho-capitalism and deserves foremost placement.
- KLP (talk) 01:26, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- You know, this discussion has been done to death. Ad nauseum. Ad infinitum. It's in the archives for the talk page several times in different forms. Anarchy means no rulers, not no authority. Historically speaking (which is what you're trying), only catholics can be termed christians. Why do I bring that up? Because you're trying some historical argument that all anarchists were opposed to capitalism, blah blah blah, and now some libertarians are trying to "corrupt" (your word) anarchism. Just as the protestants "corrupted" christianity. IOW: that won't fly. Learn to live with the fact that capitalism and anarchism are compatible. Or don't. Doesn't really matter. What matters is that you stop trying to push a POV which has been dealt with already.
- Anarchism is the "primary component", as you term it. There's already an article about anarcho-capitalism and its place in anarchism--which is linked to. I think that should take care of your suggestions. - Knight of BAAWA (talk) 02:04, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Relax. I had to get everyone's attention somehow. My suggestions will simply put this article in compliance with Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism and improve coherence in general. KLP (talk) 03:48, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Obviously someone has been busy with that article, but the issue isn't compliance with article but policy and what is put in this article. CarolMooreDC (talk) 05:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
@Original poster. By your opinion the same can be said for anacho communism/socialism with a person being at the authority of the collective but that is not what anarchy means. Anarchy means stateless and government-less, it does not mean without authority. Dunnbrian9 (talk) 21:32, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
