Arguments for and against Anarcho-Capitalism
Given that this entire article contains arguments for anarcho-capitalism, with arguments against being restricted solely to this section, I think it would be less misleading to simply label it "criticisms of anarcho-capitalism". Yes, arguments for anarcho-capitalism are still in this section, but that simply makes it the same as the rest of the article. I'll make this change pending comment. Kev 03:46, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- This is misleading. "This entire article" is an exposition of anarcho-capitalism, and thus presents what it is ancaps believe, why, and what their take on various issues is. Calling these "arguments for anarcho-capitalism" makes it seem like a polemical piece when it isn't. VeryVerily 05:59, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Sounds all lovely when you put it that way. Unfortunately, if that were actually the case you wouldn't be spending so much of your valuable personal time removing all attempts to provide exposition on the politics and history surrounding anarcho-capitalism and calling it "overstuffing with criticism". Since when is giving a fair and balanced portrayal of both anarchism at large and anarchist individualism in particular a means of criticising anarcho-capitalism? Oh, right, when doing so happens to present a history that anarcho-capitalists wouldn't want the readers to hear. BTW, I do appreciate so much your return to the discussion page.

Reversions
VV, you will discuss this "one issue" you have with this compromise and hash it out, not go on one man crusades to revert entire pages for a few minor issues. Can we clean this page up? It's a little too long here.--Che y Marijuana 10:25, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
Clean up vrs. reverts
I'd like to clean up this article, and wouldn't mind help, but I'm not going to be very happy if it all gets reverted due to some POV foolishness. For example, no one editor can express what "individualists" think, esp. not if that involvbes an opposition to something as basic as "rent". Does that also rule out "work" and "bills"? I never knew individualist = bum. ;)

- Your bias couldn't be more clear, you won't even allow historically accurate statements to stand. We are not merely talking about "individualists" Sam, we are talking about anarchist individualists. I'm sorry if you think these people are bums for challenging the legitimacy of rent, but that is your own personal POV, and you have NO RIGHT AT ALL to remove their views just because you think they should be dismissed out of hand. If you don't like the history of anarchism, feel free to move onto a page you can more easily stomach. Kev 12:48, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- And if you don't like NPOV and Factual accuracy, feel free to move on to a blog ;) Seriously tho, you can't claim to express individualist anarchist thought as some sort of homgeneous commodity, anarchism is necessarilly diverse. If you have a leg to stand on, cite it. Lets hear your sources. Otherwise I'll continue to think of you as a 'means of production' of hot air ;).
