How the hell? How do you oppose a market, how can you have a functioning society without a market? So your telling me, we should have no money, and no transactions? Damn.......
If you have total freedom then you'll get what some will call a free market or a participatory market. When we say we are against the free market (at least I do) I mean this so called free market which is just a corporate market. We call it free market because they call it free market. But is it really? Lets just say our terms are all fucked up the, we have to peal all the layers of propaganda to even have a conversation.
The market isn't going to abolish itself. In order to abolish the market, you have to somehow forcibly keep people from trading.
So the question now becomes, if I want to create a market with another human being, who is going to stop me? And how is stopping this voluntary exchange from occurring compatible with anarchism?
a controlled market is most certainly compatible with anarchism. the word that throws people off is "control". the question is who should control it. not a state or a central-planning agency but the people. those who are in any way affected by the externalities of the free market.
this is really a natural extension (or consecuence) of a free market. these people in "control" are workers or consumers who associate freely to say "we're not gonna take that shit from you".
