Communism (and socialism) start from a mistaken idea, they assume that some enlightened constructs with power and the monopoly of violence can direct the macroeconomy and decide what the needs of all people are and how to allocate the means of production to satisfy them.

Free market always wins in the long term.

that’s another usual mistake made both by right and left. market is as old as humankind, it’s not a capitalist invention. anarchism and “left-wing” socialism and liberalism defended a free market driven by the people, also free of taxes (which was a feudalism/monarchy thing as well as absolutist state). state was always the problem there as well. neoliberalism nowadays is as free as USSR used to be. there’s nothing “free” in corporatist monopoly, in global governances, in IMF and WTO, WEF, vanguard, blackrock. and, no, they ain’t commies. they’re capitalist pigs. as dirty as any commie, yup, still: capitalism. as I’ve said, or rather, as olavo de carvalho said: the worst of capitalism and the worst of communism. the only possible scenario for a free market is to destroy what’s out there — fiat, to begin with.

whats the difference between the three, then? basically, means of production. whereas liberals believe in concentration of wealth on the hands of the fittest, socialism believes in distribution of means of production — later on, after paris commune, in its destruction just like anarchism has always believed in.

search bout pierre-joseph proudhon. he was against the property but the property on state’s hands. totally pro property on people’s hands tho.

anyways. in short: destroy.
