The procedure through which anarcho-[insert socialist flavor] dismisses anarchocapitalism as "not true anarchism" typically looks like this: Instead of using the literal, commonly accepted definition of the word "anarchy" ("Without rulers") they **selectively and cynically redefine it to mean "Without _unjustified hierarchies_"**. Disregarding for a moment how "unjustified" is a completely subjective moral interpretation they now proceed to define voluntary trade (ie. my time for your resources) as "unjustified". [most socialists/communists wouldn't balk at barter, but bring money or free markets into it and suddenly they see it as some form of exploitation] Thus, since capitalism is based on voluntary trade, the subjective moral interpretation of the redefined word "anarchy" now "proves" free market capitalism is incompatible with anarchism. The fact that so much mental gymnastics is required to reach their conclusion makes me suspect a great deal of psychological projection is going on in the socialist camp... I’m guessing at some point every type of communist must be confronted with the difficult reality that every attempt at communism in history has been exactly identical to totalitarian dictatorship. Contrary to the claims of word-bending language artists, anarchocapitalism is likely the only true form of voluntarist anarchy, uniquely separated from other flavors of anarchy by having **no dependency on a central power to enforce it**. Anarchocapitalism needs no master plan - it’s simply a consequence of not initiating aggression against other people. Rather than being a "received/enforced doctrine", it's just what happens when all human interactions are voluntary. When all human interactions are voluntary you have a society without rulers. That’s the actual definition of anarchy. #anarchocapitalism #ancap #socialism #capitalism

It is inordinately joy-inducing to witness a talented developer submit a valuable pull request to one's harebrained nostr project. thanks for the bolt of satisfaction, nostr:npub1m2jphmdkskgnvwl5gplksl9e0zwv2sldqf9mwlpz6tyymz84g9fsqr3wgu ! nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpk4yr0kmdpv3xcalgsrldp7tj7yuc4p76qjtka7z95kgfky02s2nqyvhwumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsqgpp92zyz0n2yt425k7d402kyugh9hexd5eud33snwk6l8urzfdmpuxrpul6

so many platforms that ride on the coattails of open protocols by slapping "nostr login" on but all other application data is centralized and censorable. what good is your sovereign identity if all your in-app data lives in some company's closed database? they enjoy relative success because they're easy to use, understand and advertise. but you could say the same about paper bitcoin or facabook.
