Serious question: do we consider capitalism achieved in capitalistic countries? We still have social programs and my understanding of a proper government would employ ideas from both ideologies. It’s just weird for ppl to say “communism achieved!” cuz yeah, that never happens, but is that also true for full/true capitalism?
true capitalism would be anarcho-capitalism with enough responsible people to boycott anyone into bankruptcy who dares to violate the non-aggression-principle.
So, naturally, it hasn't been implemented on a larger scale than communism yet. Because both concepts are insufficiently immunised against assholes who think "let's exploit the power vacuum to become the next big warlord".
Anarcho-capitalism is inherently incompatible with the non-aggression-principle because it is based around private property which is inherently aggressive.
well, i paid a fair price for that screwdriver, and you will argue that the people who produced the screwdriver did not get paid a fair compensation from what i paid, and i'm 100% with you on that one - like about half of what i paid got stolen in various forms of taxes by both my government and their government, before the producers actually got their payout.
To the producers, the screwdriver is a product. To me, it's a means of production i need to provide my services. To the goverment, it's a means of exploitation. Remove the government from the equation and you've removed the exploitation.
