do you know what anarchism is?

its not chaos but a system based off mutual aid, direct democracy, and not top down hierarchy but a role where all people share the same power,

artisans own their work, people don't vote for a leader, they vote for policy

anarchy only meant chaos and disorder as a part of smear campaigns hundreds of years ago

anarcho capitalism is dog shit

what's to stop corporations from hiring private cops,militias,etc to crack down on unions and competitors?

because then those corporations would be boycotted

its by no means a perfect system, but its better than trusting the government which has a monopoly on violence to influence the economy

and also unions and other groups sound nice on paper but not every human organizes collectively

you also cannot have a voluntary society and then act like companies shouldn’t be allowed to exist, humans will not simply just regulate the greed out of themselves and that goes directly against human nature

do you even know what duopolies are bro?

capitalism leads to corporatocracy?

and people don't f**king boycott because they are too spineless

duopolies and monopolies largely form because large corporations influence politicians & bureaucrats to create regulations that benefit them and make it harder for smaller businesses to enter competition

with such a reduction in regulations, this would significantly decrease the chances of duopolies, monopolies, & cartels forming

and no, corporatocracy is actually related to fascism not capitalism, large corporations are a lot likelier to exist under governments like nazi germany or china (which is NOT communist, and is a lot closer to fascist)

and if people are so spineless then how can you trust them to form their own collectives and live together in harmony and have things like unions

fair criticism about the spineless thing

I will clarify it as people are too used to using one thing and won't switch to another

my point was that even if some people are working and living in self regulating collectives, there are going to be selfish individuals that should be accounted for

so you want small business capitalism?

this is fine but with the way the market is today being majority controlled by duopolies and monopolies it won't benefit anyone

true, I do think some exceptionally large companies might need to be dismantled in whatever way (vigilante justice could make that possible because clearly most governments dont care about such a thing) but after that I think such a society would be very stable

not to mention, large corporations are also a lot less inefficient to run than smaller businesses (see Ubisoft spreading itself way too thin and trying to have as big of an audience as possible and failing by appealing to no one, and massive tech companies with incredibly bloated HR departments that don’t help). if there is no government subsidizing or helping them, than efficiency in running things becomes a much bigger factor in not just profitability but the survivability of a company. as an example, why buy a $70 triple A game that has like 20 hours of gameplay when you could buy a $20 roguelike made by an indie studio with potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay

It is also easier to hire laborers locally than internationally, so indirectly a lot more smaller businesses existing would lead to things like tariffs not being needed, and immigrants from places like India or Central America would be taken advantage of less by companies

additionally if you get rid of a government that gives people visas and lets people immigrate from all over the world with no constraints whatsoever, then being an immigrant would become more of a privilege than a right, and I think letting people voluntarily associate and run their own micronations how they see fit would lead to a bigger focus on local issues and help more things get done

Local businesses are also going to have more expertise on specific, local issues than international companies simply focused on generating profit, so reducing regulations gives locals a better chance to contribute back to the community and makes it easier for the needs of each community to be met. Of course restaurant chains could still exist, but they now have a bigger incentive to actually cater to the local populace
