A capitalist economy is RIFE with anarchy. Duplication, redundancy,
starvation and waste, unemployment and underemployment, huge disparities of
wealth and poverty, crises of over- and under-production, irrationality in
resource allocation, etc., etc., i.e., economic anarchy. All of these
problems are attributable to the fantasy that subordinating the good of the
vast majority of humanity to the "laws" of the market will produce a just
outcome. This is true for the minority who benefit from this arrangement,
but for the majority of human beings, it is a criminal theft of their right
and ability to survive and grow to their potential. This fact, i.e., the
fact of the economic oppression of the majority by the minority, regardless
of whatever philosophical rationale is applied, only results in a great
deal of social and political unrest, "crime", war, revolution, etc.,, or
socio-political anarchy. The role of the State in the present is to attempt
to mitigate these effects in order to protect the position and property of
the economic elite, and to render ineffective any attempt to upset the
status quo.
