I guess it's time to eat some humble pie.

I've been watching a lot of videos by Market Anarchists, Libertarians and ultra-Capitalists on Youtube, and videos by Socialists too, and in watching the Socialist's videos I've been watching the market anarchists videos too, and I've been persuaded by some very good arguments by them. I always had barriers aganist these ideas that were JUST barriers, you know. When you think about ultra-Capitalism it's only about how two people interact with one another, and how they should interact etc, and it's fallen to me.

If they don't agree then they don't have to do business with one another. You know, it's so simple, anybody can learn it, it's effective. I've made a lot of comments on here criticising it, and I've realised how stupid I was. For example, let's say a landowner is living landlocked by a lot of other landowners, and he needs to get off that land to survive basically. I used to think, "well he's trapped, he can't move to a market, he can't get water, he can't go anywhere, without the express permission of the other landowners, and if they said no then he's going to stave to death."

That was what I used to think, but when you think about it it's really that person's responsibility to invent themselves a flying machine, and then they can go right up high into the air, and they won't invade anybody's airspace, and they can come back down and find a land that they are allowed to use.

And I'm sure that they'd be some private company that decides which land people are allowed to go on and off, so you could have these flying machines that just hop around the planet, but only for people that are inventive enough to actually have them.

Market Anarchism ≠ Anarchism

I hope we can finally bury this Frankenstein.

Might I suggest that you consider Free Enterpise as preferable to Capitalism.

Well, I doubt your sincerity, but I'm glad you seem to have realised this.
