Default Re: anarcho socialism question

I'm not talking about set rules. I'm saying individuals have no obligation to respect private property. But almost everyone will agree that respecting some right to private property is necessary to make society work well and individuals feel well, so that will be the standard. And if someone doesn't respect property at all they will probably face severe negative social and economical sanctions.

Society should be based on the individual's right to free choice. In the US a true anarchy would probably not be very far from ACism, since a lot of people have a lot of respect for property rights. This will result in a little less freedom and a little more average prosperity for americans. In Russia, a true anarchy would probably mean less respect for private property, that would mean more freedom and less average prosperity. (But probably more equality, which will probably make up for the lack of prosperity at least a little bit. A lot of people's assesment of their own situation comes from comparing themselves to their neighbours, afterall.)
