If economic totalitarianism is defined as "an economic system whereby absolute, exclusionary rule is established by concentrating the means of production and distribution into the hands of a few, but whose mechanisms are not necessarily controlled or owned by government," is ACism a form of totalitarianism?
Or to put it differently, isn't the "ultimate decision-making power" claimed by property owners in an anarcho-state, the functional equivalent of a feudal form of government? |

Alex & Co.: Is this the anarcocapitalist equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and chanting, "I can't heeear you,"?

[/ QUOTE ] No, this is the equivalent of saying that you should know better than this by now and it makes me wonder if you do and are just... well, I guess I'm not supposed to say. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Suffice it to say that both of your posts to me go right along with my theory. |

[/ QUOTE ] Why assume that a stateless society will lead to a few people owning most of the property? Historically, the instances of massive inequality (including present society) have been brought about by the State. By eliminating the state, I think it would be quite difficult for anyone or any small group to have so much (economic) power. |
