Talk:Anarchism and capitalism - Definition and Overview

Questions

I have a few questions for the writer of this article,

1. Is there any value in the orginization of labor?
2. Is there any value in risk?
3. What is the labor value referring to in this article? Is it the value added due to an increase in usefulness to others?
4. Say we lived in a land without government of any kind and I have a fishing pole. I loan it to you and you catch a couple of fish. Upon its return you give me a fish and say thanks. There are no laws requiring you to give me a fish or for you to return the pole. Are we in a anarchy in this situation?

I look forward to your clearifications. Wekins

You should refer to the main article on anarchism. --albamuth 01:31, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There is no difference...

...between the "arguments" put forth by these so-called "anarchists", and the "arguments" put forth by commies and pinkos. Nothing but the same old Marxist bullshit that is slowly being relegated to the ash heap of history.

Socialists, communists, and any other Marxists are INCAPABLE of being anarchists.

I wish people would sign their posts. It took me a while to realize the above two paragraphs were from different people. --albamuth 09:37, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I meant those paragraphs to be part of the same statement. The page history documents each change on a per-user basis. --Anonymous via Tor 128.2.213.23 15:56, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ah. So what are you trying to say? Should the article shift it's focus away from the older, historical anarchist arguments? Can you suggest a source for contemporary anarchist critiques of capitalism? --albamuth 18:38, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This doesn't belong in an encyclopedia

This article just doesn't belong in Wikipedia in its current form. It says up-front that it isn't providing a balanced viewpoint—therefore, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is fundamentally intended to be NPOV, not to have blatantly ideological articles. The fact that the article admits it's ideological is immaterial. This article's content isn't all bad, but its phrasing needs to be completely overhauled, and capitalist responses need to be added. For now, I'm adding the POV check template. —Simetrical (talk) 21:01, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I wrote that part in the beginning since I've pretty much been the only editor of this article and it was a lot of work to rewrite the source material to be NPOV (so I didn't, mostly). Any help is appreciated. --albamuth 19:40, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
