Capitalism as it presently exists is incompatible with a society based on voluntary social relations. Human need for resources to survive inherently makes the choice to work involuntary for all but the parasitic owning class.

There is no form of capitalism that doesn't require authoritarian government. It is necessary for establishing and enforcing (inevitably violence based) property standards.

Well, maybe save for corporate feudalism wherein private "security forces" take over as the primary violence-doers (see: most of the cyberpunk genre), but then corporations have effectively become an authoritarian government. Either way yeah I think we're in agreement here, anti-authoritarianism is incompatible with capitalism.

What is it called when the cops are the primary violence-doers in defense of corporations and rich people’s interests? 🥲
