>I think that might be an ambitious guess regarding Riseup's intentions - they don't make any such distinction. Perhaps, although I've never met an anarchist calling for a centrally planned economy. Most anarchists have jobs and use money and some even run businesses. They're primarily against coercion and abuse perpetrated by the state and corporations rather than against people buying and selling things per se. >the US has an extraordinary high standard of living, far better than 20 years ago We're a few years into a global recession, with massive job losses and unemployment. It seems counter-intuitive that this leads to an increase in the standard of living. >Nobody is using capital "against" anyone - I'm not even sure precisely what it means, yet I'm quite sure it's false. I would say the recent economic collapse is a fairly good example of the use of capital agressively. Those who introduced derivatives into the market did so by more or less paying government representatives to remove legislative barriers. A less dramatic example would be the stereotypical Wal-Mart using its capital to dominate local markets, wiping out existing local enterprise.
