@Jim:

"Don't forget that "anarchy" does not necessarily imply "chaos".  I solved that problem 22 years ago.   https://cryptome.org/ap.htm"

I'll check it out once I get back home home :)

"THAT doesn't make a bit of sense."

I'm just saying that anarco-socialism is very paradoxical to itself since the idea of socialism depends on some form of government in itself (usually with extended powers over production, distribution, etc). And that anarchy doesn't fit with it properly.

"My solution should be far faster.  How bloody it will be, it's hard to say.  People have grudges, in many cases for excellent reasons. "

Your solution is in the link above?

"I have long objected to the way people use the term "capitalism".  Capitalism is merely the 1800's term for "crowd-funding" of business.  Great advance, then.  Problem is, people use that term when what they really mean is "free market".  And no, we don't have anything close to a free market today, in America or other Western nations. "

That's true, free market/enterprise has been corrupted in every nation on this world. I personally see a free market system to yield good results for the well-being of a country it is allowed to stay free.

V/R,
Umair
