Hot take

"Anarchocapitalism" is an oxymoron.

Reasoning: If there are no gods and no masters, there cannot be a rule of the freemarket.

I petition to rename it "Star Trek Capitalism" which i am unironically certain we will adopt from day one after finding free, unlimited, and perpetual energy.

I'd say it's possible to dismantle the term more directly by ackbowledging that 'free markets' cannot exist without the right to privately own means of production, which in turn is enforced by a state.

With 'Star Trek' I usually associate a needs-based economy, as far as Humans are concerned. Or as some people call it, 'replicator communism'.

No matter the label, I do favor public ownership and oversight of all key industries (energy, housing, healthcare, food, transportation, ... ). It's funny how people expect democratic societies to work politically without also implementing a mostly democratized economy.

i agree! i particularly enjoyed your conclusive opening about democratizing economy. There's a total dark.fi punk in you, it's just not been positively exposed to the kabal yet 😸 :skull360:

What's a dark.fi punk..? x) Who's the kabal? And should I be asking these questions?

If you don't, chances are these questions will ask for you! 😹
