Why not?  It's looking down your nose and saying "my entertainment is better!" because I think and say so!  Which you just did in this very comment!

I'm not talking about the people who like genuinely like the product I'm talking about the people who bitch and moan and then still watch/buy the product and then bitch and moan about that said product then watch/buy it again and so on and so on.

>life support
>WWE


Hardly.

Let's be honest, until WWE gets decent competition, they'll be around forever. TNA Wrestling is also not decent competition, no matter how much they want to claim they are.

I agree with that I might embellished the way the WWE looks right now. But for me personally I just don't care about the WWE anymore and I hate that if you know what I mean   


For the non-propertarian anti-capitalist anarchists who read this page I have some questions I'd like to ask you:

1) Under any economic system there has to be incentives in place. Under your economic system that doesn't recognize private property how do you expect people to produce and create? Also if people can't keep the fruits of their labor what incentive is there to produce?

2) Do you believe in a court system and defense agencies? If not then how do you expect people to defend themselves and settle disputes and if so how are these court systems decided by? Under a free market these services compete with each other and are tired by people who want to use these services. There is no majority vote that decides who is going to be in charge or who works in the defense systems where the outvoted minority has to use. This idea sounds strangely like a government.

3) Though this question is number 3, I feel it is the most important one. My question is why are you an anarchist. It's obvious you don't oppose the state since it violates the NAP since your type of "anarchy" also does. A society that does not allow people to choose how much property they can own, who they can hire, how much they can hire them, and choose which profession to enter is indeed a violent society (since violence must be used to force people to comply or to violate their property rights). How is your anarchy different from a government? It seems (at least based on the anarcho-socialists and syndicalists that I've spoke to and read that they believe in voting (democracy) and are collectivistic and do believe in coercive "planning" and believe in the redistribution of wealth which is exactly what a government is so how are you any different than a statist? What does the government do that you oppose? Are you against the welfare state?

The reason I ask these questions is because it seems like the anarchic society you propose ignores incentives, human nature, is unsustainable and will create a vacuum of power. It seems like Mussolini was right when he called anarchists (he was referring to left-anarchists or anarcho-communists and socialists), "baffled dictators" because it seems like that's what you are. -DR
