Description: This video is part 1 in a series of videos I will be producing on the topic of economics and market anarchy. I am turning my attention to economics because this topic is quite possibly as important -if not moreso- than the topic of religion. What we believe to be true about economic theory has far reaching implications. What we believe about economics affects how we run our societies, what sort of government we should support -if we should even support one at all- and the very nature of morality and justice. In this video I discuss the basics: essential concepts and definitions. In future videos I will focus on specific arguments and concepts. I will be arguing throughout the course of this series that anarchism is a naive and flawed ideology, and that economists and capitalists goal of maximizing market growth is short sighted and self destructive. |

| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 11:41:34 Monopoly:"Situation of market characterized by the presence of a unique seller of good or services." Essentialy the state is the unique seller of political services, banking, laws and regulations, and it has the exclusive power of taxation. If you have those powers you can control a LOTS of others things. It's not just a point of view, the state is in fact a legalized monopoly. __________________________________________________ | |
| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 11:12:40 I know, It was a response to ThomasLocke1789. Saying "anarchism(assuming that it lead to monopoly for whatever reason) = totalitarianism" has not more sens than "Global-Government(Which would be a legalized monopoly with potentialy unlimited power) = Totalitarianism" __________________________________________________ | |
| neotropic9 ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 01:02:26 "STATE = LEGALIZED MONOPOLY" this is a point of view, not a fact. __________________________________________________ | |
| neotropic9 ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 01:02:02 "Global-Government = Totalitarianism" this is a premise of yours, not a conclusion. __________________________________________________ | |
| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 00:39:19 1-No government can pulls an education-system out of thin air. Your teacher are paid, the buildings cost something, nothing free even if the state provide it "freely". 2-How education would work in market-anarchy? The same way, why would it be diferent? 3-The way to pay it would be diferent but, you have to pay your education anyway even if it appears to be free. You will pay it later with you taxs and it's not so different from paying a debt. __________________________________________________ | |
| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 00:24:00 You may think that your canadian state is not necessarily greately coercing you but, ask a Quebecker Seperatist what he think about paying tax to the federal government, ask someone who would like to protect his environment while his tax are used to subsidize Albertan oil's companies. __________________________________________________ | |
| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-11 23:44:06 Competition is not a problem, why would it drive peoples crazy? __________________________________________________ | |
| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-11 23:39:15 Even if there's McDonalds everywhere in NewYork I still can refuse to eat at McDonald or go eat somewhere else a block further. But in the case of the state I can't refuse the services or refuse to pay for its services no matter if I want to use it or not. And if I want to get services from an other state, I have, not just to go a hundred of miles aways, but to go live in an other state. STATE = LEGALIZED MONOPOLY __________________________________________________ | |
| anarkoFred ::: Favorites 2007-12-11 23:29:34 So how do you figure anti-global government laws? Global-Government = Totalitarianism. With government, privates conglemerates are formed anyways, and even faster and more easily than without government. Without the American' state, no corporation could make this much profit. Corporation need the state to make profit on tax payer' back. __________________________________________________ | |
| Nolimit75 ::: Favorites 2007-12-10 18:47:53 monopolies have never been formed in the free market, every monopoly has been the result of government restricitions(IE Postal service, AT&T monopoly) there will always be someone to undercut the market leader and there will always be nichers, barring government restriction, rendering monopoly impossible in market anarchy. Go read a feraking economics 101 textbook, the intelligence level of youtube scares me sometimes __________________________________________________ | |
| subach ::: Favorites 2007-12-10 07:36:52 It was great, right up until the end... Let me ask you this, have any business committed genocide, started wars, or taken liberty? Governments do it everyday. though I'm not a complete anarchist, I believe the government's only function is keep law and order and provide for the common defense. Anything else is group of people who use government to impose their will on others, and that's no better than religion. That's also why we worry when religion get's ahold of a government. __________________________________________________ | |
| ThomasLocke1789 ::: Favorites 2007-12-10 01:55:33 So how do you figure anti-trust laws and anti-monopoly laws? anarchism = totalitarianism within the totally free market conglomerates form, and not only will they become monopolistic but they will surely be totalitarian. __________________________________________________ | |
| Luke12000 ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 19:52:39 Kurtilein: you comment makes no sense, all "anarchy" implies is choice, market anarchism is a system that encompasses yours...You asking: "how would choice create education"?!?! oh, and education isn't currently free...remember taxes? __________________________________________________ | |
