From what I understand, Hugo Chavez has tremendous popular support, though the upper class hates him. I'm not really that informed about Venezuela though.

Do you think "communism" has been attempted in the sense that Marx wrote about? I don't even like using that word because it has been so Orwellianized that it doesn't even have a clear meaning...

@qwertypoiu4321 I understand the terms better than you do. Your definition of coercion is rooted in Rothbardian ideology; all your definitions of everything outside it are thus "criminal coercive actions." Though last I checked being a dogmatic Rothbardian imbecile and defining everything from such a perspective didn't count as "evidence."

You probably think you've arrived at some ahistorical, transcendental evidence of the infallibility of capitalist ideology.

@agapeiron No response, of course, there is no response to give. You think you can wave off evidence without any evidence of your own, which is typical of an incoherent reactionary that does not even understand the terms they are discussing.

@qwertypoiu4321 Getting called a reactionary by a right wing twit is pretty amusing. Soon "libertarian" capitalists will be criticizing me for being petit-bourgeois and fetishizing democracy, I suppose.

@agapeiron lol, voluntary capitalism is by definition not coercive, unlike criminal socialism. Only a barbarian opposed to the voluntary division of labor would whine about society getting richer, the whole point of exchange. You are such an incoherent reactionary you do not even understand the definitions of the terms you are using. Anarchism/Fascism/Syndicalism/­Socialism/Slavery/Neo-Conserva­tism/Communism are just criminal coercive actions against society.

@qwertypoiu4321 Capitalism is criminal. It creates a super rich 1% that makes a nest at the very top. Your definition of "coercion" is rooted in the ideology of this elite. You are mouthing an elite capitalist dogma.

Anarchism is free association and free federation. It is justice. The criminal capitalist class must face the justice of the "mob" that it creates with its outdated system. Capitalism must be brought to justice for its crimes.

[qwertypoiu4321]

Anarchism is criminal mob rule. Everything should be voluntary, the opposite of criminal coercion.
