“Anarcho-capitalism, in my opinion, is a doctrinal system which, if ever implemented, would lead to forms of tyranny and oppression that have few counterparts in human history. There isn't the slightest possibility that its (in my view, horrendous) ideas would be implemented, because they would quickly destroy any society that made this colossal error. The idea of 'free contract' between the potentate and his starving subject is a sick joke, perhaps worth some moments in an academic seminar exploring the consequences of (in my view, absurd) ideas, but nowhere else.” IfsHumansMadeIdeasMomentsWould BeFormViewsOpinionSubjectsPossibilityJokesCapitalismConsequenceSickErrorsTyrannyAbsurdOppressionContractsAcademicExploringHuman HistoryStarvingCounterpartsColossalSeminars Author:Noam Chomsky
“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic. And yet I am not so opposed to capitalism that I have failed to see its relative merits. It started out with a noble and high motive, to block the trade monopolies of nobles, but like most human systems it falls victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has outlived its usefulness. It has brought about a system that takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.” KnowsGivingHumansTodayFallClassImagineEconomicTheoryMassCapitalismVictimTradeNobleBlockLuxuryMeritMotiveRelativeMonopolyUsefulnessEconomic Theory Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
