it is a bit like a chicken and egg problem. The state is controlled by the capitalists as a way to use violence and force. That allows capitalists to become so filthy riche in the first place.
In the end it is a strange symbiosis. The state has the monopoly on force and the capitalists controll it and fund the politics.
The question is how can you fight this?
The left wants to fight capitalism, the right rather limit the state to take away the capitalists most loved toy. But in the end both want the same goal.
anarchist capitalism is an oxymoron.
Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism
The basis of capitalism is a monopoly of force. That monopoly of force must exist in some way, and the state is the representation of that. Capitalism is the state in it's entirety. What I was referring too was what most people refer to as "the state", and not all of society. That part of the state is born of the capitalist state
if you define capitalism as needing a monopoly of force, then of course there can be no anarchist version of it. And i agree very much that the current state we have is a crucial component of that capitalism.
But free trade does not require force or violence. It is decentralised and leads to a win-win situation for everyone. Anarchist capitalists simply support that mechanism and reject the use of force to controll the flow of products.
