Anarchist sectarianism

One thing I remind my self is to avoid is ecnomic labels. For some reason in the anarchist movement some have moved toward anarchist ecnomic labels like anarcho capitalism and others such as anarchist syndicate. Now sure in a anarchist society there will be various groups that offer different ecnomic practices. The problem is when someone associates on a ecnomic platform it derives that their system is the only system and that my friend is statism and coercian. So inconclusion just call your self a anarchist avoid ecnomic labels.

Thats my view but again im looking for peoples views on this problem of ecnomic labeling in anarchism.

So heres the question what is your view on anarchist ecnomic labeling and do you see it as a problem?

Im not against the idea of different groups forming different forms of ecnomies as long as they are voluntary and not coerced

IMHO, anarcho syndicalism is not anarchy at all. It’s a replacement of existing authority structures with a new one.

anarcho capitalism, taken to it’s logical extents ends up in a system very similar to what we have now, except that states would not be bound as much by terrain. What would amount to virtual states would probably have overlapping jusidiction. I don’t think that’s a bad idea, but it isn’t really anarchy either.

True anarchy can’t exist for long, because we’re social animals with an instinct to follow the alpha.
