If your society is fundamentally a market, then any societal solution will involve the market to a degree. If I refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding, is that a market force or a social force?

Why would you choose this of all examples as your model for a better society?

It was an example for the sake of argument. I'm also not an anarchist, but dismissing the idea that social forces can isolate people causing trouble is overly simplistic. Ask any minority about how that works.

Yes, a capitalist society is capable of enforcing the isolation of people. Okay.

That's not anarchism, though.

the answer to how anarchist society will enforce any anti-social behavior has already been answered ITT

you simply get a mob of people to beat the poo poo out of them and banish them from the community. bing bong

This argument is dumb. An anarchist society cannot enforce anything if an an anarchist society does not exist. What you are saying is that everything that happens under a capitalist society only happens because of capitalism.

I don't think social pressure alone is adequate to isolate the unvaccinated, but to say all social pressure is a result of capital is just wrong. At the end of the day, I don't think anarchism is capable of solving the danger of unvaccinated people, but that doesn't mean it lacks tools to try.

No, I'm saying that capitalist structures enforcing social isolation may well be what is happening now, and may well be a practically useful tool in terms of what is available now, but isn't something you can rely upon in a future where you supposedly have no private corporations.

I've been trying to follow this dumb argument:

* the Confederates only ever said that Lincoln was "tyrannical", not "authoritarian", and tyranny and authoritarianism are different, so it doesn't apply

* black people weren't actually "liberated" even after slavery ended

* it wasn't black people who emancipated themselves, ergo it doesn't count

* John Brown wasn't "authoritarian" because he held no political power, ergo that also doesn't count

the anarchists keep setting up this boutique definition of "authoritarianism" in order to avoid the problem of being associated with Confederates if they agree that ending slavery was authoritarian

It sounds reminds me of the way liberals discuss the topic of propaganda, where they have some idea in their heads of what "propaganda" looks like and carefully tailor the definition in a way that excludes all the media they like and includes the media they dislike.

I think this is a result of moralizing everything with bias. Propaganda is inherently biased and therefore "evil".

The reaction to the vaccine question exposes a rift between more communist inclined leftists and anarchists in my experience.

https://twitter.com/profwolff/status/1434335725420306434?s=19

For instance look at the reactions to this tweet. Lots of talk about "personal autonomy," little consideration of the need for collective action.

I sympathize with the skepticism of pharmaceutical companies, but not at all with the idea that "my body my choice" during a pandemic is a left or socialist position.

the key here is to recognize that, unlike an issue of American foreign policy/imperialism, where the other side of the conversation across from State Department propaganda are the oppressed peoples of Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, et al, the other side of "the lying CDC" and greedy Big Pharma are also reactionary charlatans

the thing to always keep in mind is that anarchists are first and foremost libertarians, and individual and property rights will always be defended above all when push comes to shove

it's not really a rift, it's a fundamental disagreement about power and politics akin to the one between communists and liberals
