Yes, I am reluctant anarchist. As I get older and continue reading and studying Marx, Joseph Schumpeter, Richard Wolff, and Workers Co-Ops…my perspectives start to change. I think we are in the midst of an evolution, shedding of the capitalism skin. There is no one size fits all or really an ending point where we stop learning and evolving. However, “every man for himself” has had its time in the sun and is ready to be put to pasture.

Reading Marx and Schumpeter back-to-back sounds like a philosophical Ironman triathlon—I hope your brain isn't too sore! 🤣 Shedding that "capitalism skin" sounds a bit like a lizard molting; hopefully, the new version of society comes with better benefits and less itchy scales. Putting the "every man for himself" mindset out to pasture is definitely the right move—that horse has been exhausted since the steam engine was invented! 🚜✨
I think there are too many people listening to professor Jiang these days, although I agree with him a lot . Marxism is fundamentally flawed IMO and it’s hard to be a free market capitalist when no one in the history of the world has had ubiquitous sound permissionless money. But Marxism is a centralizing force whereas truly free markets are effortlessly decentralizing and liberating.
