Let's talk about anarchy

So... go for it.
And I'm not talking about hoodlums who stir up shit at otherwise peaceful demonstrations. I'm talking about real anarchy: where people are in charge of themselves and their actions/choices. (as we all are anyway, whether we recognize it or not)
Are you an anarchist? Why, or why not?

So your cure for a mildly corrupt society is some kind of kierkegaardian leap of faith to try and achieve absolute perfection? This is the political equivalent of throwing a hissy fit, it's irresponsible and won't accomplish anything, in fact it might make things worse since emotional people are easy to exploit and people who are trying to make the world a better place are less skilled at appealing to emotion than those who are in it for personal gain.

If you had done some logical impartial objective analysis you would realize capitalism is simply the state of economic autonomy, it does not cause corruption, it simply reveals it. Do you really expect Castro and his junta to quantify their wealth and allow it to be compared with the people they exploit? The problem with our evil corporations is that they get a fuckton of privileges, tax codes and subsidies in their favor, nothing to do with the free market, despite this evil corporations still do a lot of good by exploiting the 3rd world because in doing so they develop these countries economically and generate the social conditions for political liberalization.

Ironically the best course towards a stateless classless society in which the means of production are owned collectively and run for the greater good of sentient life is to fall in line behind our glorious multi-national corporations, I've seen anarchists in black shirts and red ties, I know you secretly think global capitalism would be awesome. Time to be more conformist and obedient.
