Also, rather than simply bashing capitalism (which is all I ever see socialists of any stripe do, be they state or anarchist), why don't you actually talk about how your anarcho-socialist society would work?

If people worked hard, they would get what they need and some things they want.

Instead of $6.75/hour maids working for $500 million/year hotel tycoons, it would be $11/hour maids working for $200 million/year hotel tycoons.

They're right, latefordinner. The idea that anybody could control an important resource like water is absurd. There's no historical or contemporary example of the kind of scarcity you're talking about. Capitalists don't exploit natural resources, or create monopolies.

It's like you're saying the moon is made out of cheese, or something.

People would just move away if there wasn't enough water.

He was arguing for anarcho-syndicalism is all I know. Maybe that's why he represented it so badly.
