How could they do that if they don't vote?

Well, an anarchist would support no government intervention in the economy (ultra-capitalism), so probably not.

That's what one would naturally assume (and Anarcho-Capitalists believe that).  But the Anarcho-Communists legitimately believe that if there is no government everyone will live in a magical fantasy land where there is no poverty, no war, etc.  Without government, however, I'm not sure how they plan on forcing the rich to give up their wealth.

You might have never heard of Anarcho-Capitalists, and that's because they don't riot.

Anarcho-Capitalism, is a false term, as Anarchism is a society in without hierarchy, capitalism is of inherently a system of hierarchy. Anarchism is a system, in where people get rid of their possessions, and it is owned by the community, first and foremost, and as such the society is run without a leader, but as a collective.


Anarchy just means no government.  And without government, how does one force people to give up their property?

I certainly have numerous disagreements with anarcho-capitalism, but I don't even get the concept behind anarcho-communism.  Why would people voluntarily give up all their stuff to the community?  The voluntary socialism part makes no sense at all.

Ancoms want complete liberty and complete equality at the same time.


Anarchism means no government, I think in an anarchist society, as was done in Anarchist Catalonia, an worker's militia, takes over a workforce, and makes it part of something owned publicly by workers and the community.

There have been leftist anarchist society throughout history (they have existed for certain years, but have been destroyed due to external forces.), and the end goal of communism, is a society with no state and government.

That just sounds like the militia is the government in that situation.  I maintain that anarcho-communism is an oxymoron.  Not that anarcho-capitalism is much better.

No, it isn't (however unrealistic it might be). anarcho-Capitalism, is a complete oxymoron though.

The only way anarchy could exist IMO is if we let computers run all government services and the human factor was removed completely from the government sector.

The Democratic Party would have to be totally down the drain to have that happen.
