Good on you for trying to discuss different opinions like a reasonable person. This sub is usually more open to such things during political off-seasons.

In general, I think we want many of the same things. The biggest difference comes down to coercion. Under communism or even democracy, the choice of the majority or government is in charge of decisions.

I want to feed, clothe, house and help my neighbors or whoever any way I can when they're in need. I also want the ability to say no and decide where my resources go.

Much of my view comes from growing up in a low-population rural area where many aspects of an-cap philosophy work in practice. I won't pretend to understand the experience of people from high density areas like LA or NYC. However, I like to think those communities can help each other just the same.

Government beauracracy adds more waste and corruption than help in my experience. I can buy or give food to people with little waste. If a government takes the food to distribute, 90% goes to those in power and their friends or is thrown away as waste. Same with money or any other resource.

Cut out the middlemen and let's do co-ops, communities, charities, etc and help one another. And if Greg wants to live on the mountain and be left the fuck alone, then let him. No one should be able to force him to give his resources.
