Objections and resources
If you made it this far, you probably have a lot of questions. That is good. The ideas here—that capitalism is a state-corporate monopoly system and that a genuinely free market would be radically different—are dense and often counter-intuitive because they challenge deep-seated assumptions.
I am also steeped in these assumptions, and it was total serendipity that I stumbled across these ideas. Because I am still discovering these details myself, I want to heavily push you towards resources much more knowledgeable than me. I am confident that almost everyone who seriously engages with these ideas with meaningful intellectual curiosity will be forced to reevaluate their worldview to a large extent.
1. Chat with the 2100 Gem
I have created a custom trained Gemini instance specifically to answer questions about this philosophy, objections, and details. It is extremely capable of providing detailed, individualized responses to whatever situations you want to explore, such as "what happens to building codes?", "what happens when somebody builds a nuclear plant?", or "who builds the roads?".
2. Read Markets Not Capitalism
If you read one book, make it this one. It is a collection of essays that lays out the entire thesis of "freed-market anti-capitalism" far better than I can. The anarchist authors despise copyright/IP, so it is available as a free PDF or audiobook.
Misunderstandings and objections
Network effects and economies of scale are real; there's absolutely no way you can tell me that big businesses are less efficient than small ones!
answer here
If markets naturally favor efficiency of small businesses, why is the entire world dominated by hierarchical corporations? Why haven't co-ops outcompeted them yet?
answer here
Without a state, who builds the roads and infrastructure? How do you handle large-scale coordination for things like highways, power grids, or disaster response if everything is decentralized?
answer here
Without state regulation, what stops someone from dumping toxic waste in a river, starting a nuclear plant in their backyard, or spreading a pandemic?
answer here
Even without state favors, won't people with more talent, luck, or initial resources just accumulate massive wealth and recreate the same inequality we have now?
answer here
Isn't this just anarcho-capitalism?
