Anarcho Communism Explained: Why Anarcho Communism Doesn't Work

Anarcho communism explained in simple language is an oxymoron. In this video I explain why anarcho communism doesn't work as it not only reaches far outside the bounds of human nature but the study of economics. Again, the economic calculation problem explains the flaw behind the moneyless based theory it requires.Show more

@Skylar Szabo fails to comprehend not only from the economic standpoint of view why communism, in general, is deeply and inherently flawed but also on human nature. As I have argued numerous times before, hypothetically speaking, even if they managed to get rid of the private sector completely, they would still require an entity there to maintain that. The fact Skylar addresses this for what Peter Kropotkin mentions speaks volumes for itself.

As mentioned, you require a dictator to get rid of the private sector, as a photographer, most photography work out there is done through private businesses and freelance.

It is also important to note that socialists like Skylar fail to comprehend communal ownership of property, it does not mean decentralisation, nor does it spell out personal ownership of possessions, it means the complete rejection of the individual, the complete abolishment of ALL individual ownership. As history has proven, communal ownership caused starvation for this very reason as it did not give the individual the rights and liberty to own the fruits of their own labour.

As per usual, socialists like to twist the entire meaning of their own ideology to suit their own agenda and clearly do not understand it. You cannot subordinate the rights and liberty of the individual, force them into collectivism, and then claim you stand for liberty and oppose authoritarianism.

Skylar claims it is a good thing that in the Soviet Union capitalists were put in prison, in other words, basically telling you that if you support private ownership you should be jailed. It is the true totalitarian mentality behind communism and much as we saw from the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) it was one big comedy show proving the real world isn't quite like the world they imagine it to be. We are not chess pieces on a chessboard you can just move about.

As explained in the economic calculation problem videos, it's impossible to plan for a large scale economy and when it comes to housing, food, clothes, etc, every individual all have our own different tastes, to reject that reality is to think of us as human beings as if we're all the same like as if we're robots you can just press a button on the back of us and we'll just accept what is given to us.

It is for this reason anarcho communism doesn't work because you cannot subordinate the rights and liberty of the individual and expect to have no government to oversee to ensure that private ownership doesn't return, individuals are self-interested and with no government, the only way they can prevent people starting up a private business and doing their own thing is through force. Again, much like CHAZ socialists don't think from a real-world common-sense perspective.

Again, you cannot collectivise people, property and then claim to support decentralisation, and as Kristian Niemietz rightly argues in his book 'Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies' socialism requires strong central planning to be able to keep a large country all on the same path by the use of a 5-year plan or something similar, it's the only way they can achieve the egalitarian utopia. If individual communes were left, each one would go separate ways. Even then that rejects individual rights and liberty.
