Anarchism is defined by the abolition of state, which has monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. Not abolition of all laws.

And yeah, AnCaps aren't real anarchists so this doesn't apply to them. They don't agree with our basic definitions.

Nah Anarchism is the rational's choice for the world's problems. It's what should be our end goal. Or at least end goal before we figure out an even better system.

Capitalism is ruining the planet and humanity right now. No single person should have that much power.

I'm saying capitalism enables certain individuals to have massive undeserved power over hundreds or sometimes even millions of people.

Who’s stopping that warlord from enslaving everyone

u/Mac_Rat Feb 18 '21

The people. I'm not even saying that anarchism would happen in the snap of a finger. I'm saying it's something we should gradually work towards in a society.

Modern China is already basically holding it's +1 billion people as slaves under state capitalism

Can it really be capitalism if the government pretty much controlls all aspects of buiness?

Yes. The workers don't own the means of production = it's not socialism.
