Well, here’s the only issue with that line of thinking: laissez-faire capitalism is inherently anarchistic if implemented fully. It exists under the assumption that private enterprises will be guided by an invisible and competition rather than by the existence of a state like structure. Of course, anarcho capitalism will not work since copyright laws, property rights, and common defense would not exist and business owners would hate if all three suddenly disappeared (investors would be spooked and dip out pretty quickly). Not to mention all the violence and recklessness a lack of government would inflict on the average person (The Purge movies, anyone?).


Anarcho communism (ironic since marxism is inherently antigovernment) is generally kinder but like all communism, it doesn’t motivate workers enough to be productive nor will the economy being able to respond to changes in demand quickly enough (that’s why the Soviet economy failed). It’s a smart idea on paper but not in practice.

Except it won't be anarchistic at all. You need an ownership class for capitalism, which is inherently a non-voluntary hierarchy as no-one wilfully lets some random guy own all the farmland to then have to work for them in order to have food. On top of this for capitalism to operate it needs a government or government-type entity that enforces private ownership of the means of production (Farmland/factories/water systems etc). Adam something has a good series on why anarcho-capitalism cannot have both anarchism and capitalism and I'll link the thought slime video that explains why it's incompatible with actual anarchism.


I'll give you that both systems are anti-government, but anarcho-capitalism has an involuntary hierarchy inherently baked into the capitalism-part of the ideology and hierarchies have rulers.
