Anarchists aren't satisfied until bargaining comes down to the individual.

[/ QUOTE ] But my primary point is that this is utterly utopian. Human beings are not going to stop joining with one another for common purposes, no matter if you think that is a good idea or not.

[/ QUOTE ]


Of course they aren't. Luckily, anarchist principles are fully compatible with people joining with one another for common purposes.

It simply doesn't matter whether you think this would be a good idea...it is a fact and needs to be built into all sane political theories. Groups are going to come together, they are going to have more power than isolated individuals, and the groups, therefore, are going to have there way. In fact simple economics should tell you that anarchy incentivizes the use violent cooperation amongst people for common goals, as there is no longer a state (the 'monopoly on the legitimate use of force' which puts its competitors-other producers of violence-out of business, so to speak, so they are unable to achieve there goals via violence)

[/ QUOTE ]

Total non sequitur. Cooperation > violence, therefore violence is incentivized? You've totally contradicted yourself. Your concept of violent cooperation is a total oxymoron.

[ QUOTE ]
Essentially, anarchocapitalists ask, as you admit, "What would a capitalist economy in which there is no collective action and no willingness to coerce one another look like?"

[/ QUOTE ]

No they don't, because no anarchocapitalist I've seen has ever advocated a world without collective action.

[ QUOTE ]
This question, while perhaps of some interest philosophically, is utterly irrelevant politically.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.

[ QUOTE ]
The better question to ask politically is: "Given that humans will try to coerce each other and will engage in collective action, what should our institutions look like?"

[/ QUOTE ]

And the answer could be different for different people, and there's no reason a one-size-fits-all answer needs to be imposed upon anyone.
