Recently I watched this video:

Patently, the conventional anarchist (anarcho-communist, socialist, syndicalist) is the utmost exemplar of what I identify is the besmirching outspeak expressing their contrariwise disposition against anarcho-capitalism, which they feel is an attack on the time-honored edition of anarchism and regularly depreciate as a discrepancy and repugnance.

My inquisitation revolves around if there are any adequate rejoinders to this accusation. Thank you.

What is the question here?

EDIT

Also, I just want to throw out there that what I've always found fascinating is that socialist anarchists argue that capitalism is the byproduct of the state, or vice versa, while anarcho-capitalists argue that true capitalism can't come about specifically because of the state.

What do you mean "what is the question here?"

Let's turn down the vocab a skoch, and ask a normally phrased question.

Okay, let me see if I can tone this down:

What are some arguments you can use against the "a society can be either anarchist or capitalist, but not both" argument?

Reiterate anarcho-capitalist theory. If they disagree with you then it's because they disagree with their definition of anarchism. Then you can either just accept it as a "fine, whatever, I'm a statist" thing or you can argue about semantics, which is never very profitable and in this case it's totally not worth it. If my definition for communism was a system in which the majority of people are able to eat food, then yea, I'm a raging hard communist.

F'ing Chomsky, what do you expect :\

The best argument is "there is no need to concern oneself over such matters".  It's a pseudo-problem.

I might leave my spot at the Peace and Freedom party if there was a bacon and eggs party, but to my knowledge there isn't one. Still, peace and freedom are both pretty high on my to do list.

I would assuredly associate myself with this conjectural "Bacon and Eggs Party." Remonstrate Congress for the sake of free breakfast for all!

Oh, and Samurai Champloo.

Yes, and you will get many more good puns if you would read my short story and give me the constructive criticism.

EDIT

Pretty please?

I had studying to do tonight and now it's bed time. I'll probably read your story and hopefully get back to you with any comments I have tommorrow.

Also, that face doesn't scare me now nearly as much as it did when I had the Gus avatar...

Yes, well do not forget it that it was you who asked for this in the first place.

DON'T MAKE ME REGRET THIS...

...or else I'll post pictures of angry cats in frustration.
