Anarchism and capitalism


Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy which holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, or alternatively as opposing authority and hierarchical organization in the conduct of human relations. The nature of capitalism is a polarizing issue among anarchists. Capitalism is generally considered by scholars to be an economic system that includes private ownership of the means of production, creation of goods or services for profit or income, the accumulation of capital, competitive markets, voluntary exchange, and wage labor. Capitalism is variously defined by sources and there is no general consensus among scholars on the definition nor on how the term should be used as a historical category. The designation is applied to a variety of historical cases, varying in time, geography, politics, and culture.

Anarchists do not consider anarcho-capitalism as a legitimate form of anarchism due to capitalism requiring economic and social hierarchies.http://www.infoshop.org/AnarchistFAQSectionF7

Anarchists generally agree that Capitalist mode of production and property relations requires primitive accumulation Theft of lands (colonization), slavery.

Anarchists observe that slavery and colonization continues to reproduce and increase inequality under capitalism. E.g. in prisons labor, in unpaid domestic labor.

Unpaid domestic labor traditionally done by women is required to raise children,keep house, and maintain a functional society and labor force.
