> Anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron. Capitalism creates hierarchies. Anarchy is a rejection of hierarchies, because it creates rulers. Incomplete understanding: Under the ideals of anarcho-captialism, the capitalism part stresses any internal bureaucracies & hierarchies within an org to its absolute limit, and contributes to breaking them via competition from other businesses. Hierarchies are not an inherent part of capitalism. Hierarchies arise by themselves as a result of the needs to specialize & coordinate labour towards tasks whilst scaling up the org's task-completing capabilites. Regardless of the economic system involved, the adoption & proliferation of hierarchies will persist as the need to scale becomes critical. Capitalism stresses against this encroaching force by ideally having competitors with lower overhead, and pressuring them into adapting/improving themselves, or face collapse from within. ---- The above section is by no means an endorsement of ancap, as (like most proposed economic systems) it requires a more-ideal-than-realistically-possible environment & participants to exist. However, blanket dismissals of a proposed system are similarly non-advisable, as both lead to the same conclusions: A stunted development in ideological rigor & critical self-analysis.
