feotakahariI don’t get anticapitalism, if only because of comparative advantage. I don’t want to live in a world where everyone grows their own food, because every plant I grow dies. Rather, I want to live in a world where someone specializes in growing food, and I specialize in what I’m good at, and I perform services that the food-growing person values.
And when people trade goods and services for other goods and services of equal value, what do you call that?
I want to end slavery, and apparently that’s something anticapitalists want as well. But they also seem to want a society where people do not trade, and aside from the implausibility of how you stop people from doing so, trade is something that makes my life better in a thousand different ways.
