RE: Intro to Anarchy with The Pholosopher
I don't think it's an absurd example, it's basically what's happening around the world right now with government and corporations working together.
An example, Nestlé buying up water rights all over the place, and saying water isn't a human right. Why can they do that? Because government will back up their claim to property with guns.
That's fascism or corporatism, not capitalism. It has nothing to do with property rights as they should be. Nestle is allowed to get away with what they are doing because of government, yes. They would never be able to get away with it without a government. Are they going to raise and pay for an army to steal and secure all the land without a government? Armies are expensive.
Maybe this will help clear up some nuance in defining non-social(ist) capitalism:
