***** Hello there, i will address your question as thoroughly as is necessary, but first there is some pre-requisite knowledge you must learn before you will be able to understand our perspective, and i will teach you it. As a note to keep in mind, the analysis that communist use to examine the inner workings of global and domestic societies of the world has a much broader focus than zooming in on topics like "small gov and medium military", Because it actually analyzes modern, and historical societies based on class relations - which class of people "owns" the faculties of production (Example: farms), and which class of people work this production. In each class based society, there are different mechanics employed by which a ruling class may actually own or exploit the labor of those that actually operate production. There are several historical examples: Slavery, Feudalism and Capitalism. In slavery, this was accomplished through the direct ownership of people - the slave master could own whatever the slave produced. In feudalism, it was accomplished through lords owning titles to the land - anyone who worked the fields or manufactured goods had to give up most of their work. In Capitalism, a new mechanic was employed by which share holders of any productive facility - be it farms, factories, natural resources, services, utilities and infrastructure - could rake in profits ultimately based right off the backs of the work that other people do whom actually work within the production facilities. *Any work the workers did were primarily under the control of the major share holders and as the products of their labor gets sold in the markets to whomever, The shareholders get to keep the vast majority of the profits for themselves while the workers only recieve the tiny fraction that makes up their wages.* Whatever the Shareholders keep for themselves that the worker does not get is the exact measure of how much the working class was exploited - this is referred to as the surplus value of the working class labor. So the exploitation is indirect through the markets, but it is just as real and concrete as it was in other class based societies. The surplus value measurement doesn't usually zoom in on any specific industry, but is mostly used to measure the degree of exploitation across a whole economy, since all aspects of the economy is intertwined within itself, for example the cost of one company results in a revenue stream for another company, both of which ultimately rely on a working class to exploit in their labor. This is what is comes down to, no matter what industry you focus on, all profits are based on either directly exploiting the working class or using your power to manipulate things in your favor. the same goes for retail and services that directly serve or distribute goods to consumers. Simply because major shareholders control the means by which goods are distributed to people, retail workers are employeed for very low wages while the corporate executives make a huge profit by selling their products at a higher price than what they were produced at, - and the retail workers, even though their job is to distribute goods to people, they only recieve a fraction of the profits in the form of a wage, so it is no different from any other work. *The distribution of goods within a market style economy is not based on what is efficient, it is based on how much a group of shareholders can profit through the process of distributing goods to consumers, and thus goods are usually expensive and so that the executives may live lavish lifestyles* Alot of people today try to idealize or romanticize capitalism simply because its the system they live under, not much different from peasants worshipping a king really. They do this while ignoring the hard realities. For example people will make up excuses that you can 'switch' who you work for, or that one 'may' be able to start a business, to which i would says: switching who you work for does not challenge the structure of a class based society where profits are inherently derived by the degree of exploitation imposed onto the working class... and not only is it very difficult for people to start a successful business, but i dont think that one should have to go through a very difficult process just to avoid working for people that want to maximize how much they can exploit them. -The rabbit hole gets much deeper than simply examining the basic operation of how a class based economy works, particularly with how capitalism has evolved to work on the global scale. in my next post, i will address the colonial era leading up to global capitalism, and explain how global capitalism has become a new form of economic domination around the world, a new form of economic imperialism and how it has resulted in a global class divide.

[@ufodeath]

***** Under the assumption you read my last post, this post will explain how imperialism works in the world today. In the past, capitalism started on a domestic scale, contained within colonial nations but almost never existed outside of those nations within other nations. There were effectively two systems, colonialism and capitalism. Colonialism served as a means of bourgeois nation states to externally extract resources from other nations, while infant capitalism would be funded by this process extensively and create a sharp class divide on a domestic level. So in this historical world, there was a sharp class divide between the colonial nations and the colonialized nations, and a sharp class divide between the capitalist within colonial nations and the workers that worked under them. The british and french colonial empires are great examples of this setup. India may have had infrastructure put in place by the british empire, but it was not to serve the indian people, it was to maximize how many resources could be extracted from india so that british aristocrats could live extremely lavish lives AKA "the victorian era of britain". People lived in extreme poverty in india induced as a result of so many resources being exctracted from india, and not reduced by the superficial presence of industry and infrastructure since it was all utilized to exploit the indian people anyways. Fastforward to post WW1, colonialism appears to be "going away". This development may have seemed positive at first, however the ever hungry desire for the west to maintain its wealth ever endures. As colonial nations became "independent", the same resources and infrastructure that the colonial empire had control over, came to be controlled by newly founded multinational corporations. This happened literally everywhere, and these nations were only independent in name only. Many secular nations that tried to resist this development through nationalizing oil or natural resources almost always were countered by western interest groups who would coup' de at and create a right wing western aligned dictatorships - hence how so many dictatorships in the middle east and africa came to exist. a great example of this is Iran. A democratically elected iranese democrat Mohammed Mossadegh wanted to nationalize iranese oil so that it would no longer be in control of british oil. Very shortly into his presidency he was overthrown by a joint British intelligence and CIA operation to fund Coup' de at groups that would overthrow mossadegh and implement a new dictatorship which would run the nation to serve wesern economic interest. Fast Forward to today, after Numerous dictatorships later, and the ever expanding nature of global capitalist imperialism spreading itself deeper into third world nations like a plague, things have gotten worse for the third world not better. Western multinational corporations extensively own many of the natural resources, industries, farms and even the services of *other nations*. I doubt it would fly among the american people if china owned most of american oil and industry, yet many people nonchahantly do not care when it is american companies that own the resources of other nations. *What we have as a result is a form of capitalism that has evolved well beyond the domestic scale and replaced colonialism to create a single global system of exploitation. it has resulted in a global class divide. The third world is forced to extensively funnel its resources and products to first world nations, and the domestic level capitalism that exist in those first world nations are heavily funded by imperialistic activities as a result. The people in the third world work in abysmal conditions and are paid abysmally all so that multinational corporations can have extremely huge profits as a result. The cheap resources and products the get exported to the first world result in extremely cheap consumer products in retail stores. This means that even though even first world workers are exploited to serve anothers profit, they are very significantly compensated as a result of the extremely oppressive imperialistic activities occuring in the third world.* This has resulted in a world where the class divide has been significantly dulled in the first world, but extremely sharpened in the third world. People in the first world always naively think that relying on change from above from a political system that is inherently designed to serve the interest of those that control the economy, will be able to "exact positive change" whether domestically or in other nations. Of course these are very naive opinions people hold because there are few opportunities for people to examine the concrete realities of how things work in the world today. people in the first world can afford to be docile pacifist because their lifestyles are indulgently and self-absorbantly funded by third world imperialism, whether they like it or not. first world people dont suffer the same conditions third world people do, especially when third world people serve their lifestyles. In the third world, many people want to actually change the very structure of society itself precisely because they are on the brunt end of a very sharp class divide, and correctly realize their bourgeois political system wont magically abolish itself. in short, they want to abolish capitalism and imperialism and take control of things themselves, by any means necessary. In this part, i have explained the realities of how capitalism operates in the world today by explaining imperialism. in the next part, i think it is finally time to explain what plan of action or methods can be taken to transform society away from this kind of setup, so that the working class people, even more so in the third world, can liberate themselves. The focus is not idealistic or utopic dogma, it is to develop a _practical_, functional and coherent transitionary system and plan of action to serve as a bloc against capitalism, while in general developing an economy that does not serve the profits of a ruling class, but instead serves the demands of the people, all while inceasingly being directed by members of the working class with their extensive venues of knowledge, experiences and the many professions that make up the working class, working together to build an economy that actually serves them and he people rather than a few capitalist.

[@ufodeath]

***** If you read both my post slowly, it is densely packed with easy-to-understand insights, or atleast as easy as i could make it for a complete newcomer to the subject. you can ask me questions along the way. Understanding most of the details of my post will give you alot of prerequisite knowledge so that we can have a deeper conversation. For now, i thinks its appropriate to build your knowledge as if from the ground up, which is why i wrote those two post for you. So i would really appreciate it if you did read my post and not scim through it, because its so densely compacted with information that skimming it can leave out important details. Two things i would like to hear from you once you are done reading both post is: 1. your opinion on the inherent realities of how capitalism operates. 2. Your opinion on the realities bred from the economic domination and imperialism of third world nations.

[@ronfaraggi9225]

Romantic idea (and these anarchist society's DO exists) but its extremely hard in my idea squatting and direct action but then again I am insurrectionist anarchist so I'm more in favor of using violence against fascists, cops or corporations and I am a programmer I don't really like to or good at being at a farm and the capitalist systems STILL exists if the commune continued to grow corporations will destroy it an hour and I all so think all most every anarchist agrees (unless your an "an"-cap or an-pacifist) even the person wrote this song agrees an insurrection is the only way for communism and anarchism to be achieved

[@henrikgenzink2304]

I like it as an idea in general, but that would not fixing the problem, people all around the world would still be bombed, the exploitation of the earth on unsustainable levels would continue and at some point destroy that farm. But I do advocate alternative food systems to be set up in order to disabilitate the capitalist of just starving a revolution out.

[@arbitraryify]

Anarcho-capitalism is almost as much anarchy as several other forms of Anarchy. Or what constitutes Anarchy varies a lot and to some its more about having zero government control/laws than a true power median that keeps all at the same level. In a zero government controlled society without any sort of regulation on business you can get to a sort of true capitalism under zero law. Personally I find this to be one of the worst types of (zero-)government systems and would prefer the status quo but to some its an ideal society were a sort of freedom to live your life can flourish (the problem is that it will get heavily controlled by company structures instead). Anyway there is a Capitalistic version of Anarchy like it or not. E: as mentioned I don't enjoy it much myself as I'm more on the social-liberal side and am closer to Syndicalism over anarchism (and even further from anarcho-capitalism).

[@boromirovb.8877]

Dan Liimatta And capitalism and anarchism reduce the role of government in society, but not in the same way. Capitalism do it order to preserve the privileges of the ruling class. Anarchism stands for it, but when it is not privileged in the society! Anarchism should be a perfect society. A socjalizam should be a pathway to anarchism! So it should be in theory!

[@plantingtruth3452]

Capitalism is the concept of Anarchy played into economics. If you think we are living under capitalism today, you need to read an economics book. Anarcho-capitalism is the only real form of Anarchy.

[@fite-4-ever876]

Planting Truth anarchy opposes hierarchy and by extension capitalism. The true anarchist movement has always been pro-working class, anti-capitalist.

"You can't choose" well there is the summary of Communism in a nutshell, and why it's diametrically opposed to Capitalism. Capitalism being voluntary trade and exchange of goods between individuals, Communism being coercion, exploitation and expropriation of the individual under the guise of a "collective" good.
