I thought the guy was anti-capitalist all around. What's this about?
Chomsky also once said that Rothbard's world would devolve into everyone suing each other over everything. At least here he admits that we've never had anything even close to capitalism and even says why.
I find it strange how healthcare could exist in a libertarian socialist society. No private sector, no government coercion. Okay, so what happens?
the ends of ancaps and ansynds is the same, voluntarism. In the end it is a state of mind not an economic system.
So are you not an Ancap?
Ancap is a fancy word for voluntaryist.
In other words, all anarcho capitalists are voluntaryists but not all voluntaryists are capitalists (some are ancoms or ansyns).
I think chomsky here is recognizing the difference between "capitalism" (state regulations, interventionism, corporatism, etc, what the masses think it is), and Capitalism (what it truly is supposed to be, free markets, free trade).

I still don't fully understand how anarcho-communism and anarcho-syndicalism are compatible with Voluntaryism. How could you have "to each according to yadayadayada" without coercion?
Um...clarification, plz?
I was assuming that ansyns and ancoms would not use aggression.
But if they do, then they arent voluntaryists.
I thought the mindset was that if communism was so superior then it need not be coerced.
But if it is, then it isnt voluntary.
Yes but the point of their entire philosophy is to structure society to their liking. These societies are both anti-capitalist. While this is wildly open to interperetation, I will assume they are referencing their hostile view towards the free-market. If I decided to pull a Lysander Spooner and create, say, a mail company, I guess under the "anarcho-comsyn law" that would not be permitted.
Certainly not my view of Voluntaryism.
Oh, I see. Could you explain why they are train wrecks? I'm actually considering reading work by Peter Kropotkin.
Hmm. Based on what you said, sounds like Valve Corporation is an example of the anarcho-communist working system.
