I think this is the ultimate extension of anarchism. Under anarcho-Keynesianism, everyone would be totally bent on "growth" and there would be no one to stop us! No commies or Marxists, no "free market fundamentalists" like Ayn Rand and Mises, no namby pamby pacifists or "Old Economics." Finally a system for everyone! The best of anarchism, centrally-planned markets, and yes... John Maynard Keynes!

In this commune, we'll have meetings every morning to discuss Paul Krugman articles in the New York Times, we'll be fully employed at all times on public works projects, property rights will be sorta half-way as we'll need to break windows and pitch in huge bucks to fight other communes now and again (but always rebuilding them of course like English gentlemen; other Keynes communes will just have insurance built-in so it won't matter). But it won't be one of those Jonestown type deals like Anarcho-syndicalism or anarcho-communism.

Just think: a whole economy built on blowing crap up, big statues and monuments of stuff, "green" makework and featherbed jobs, ever-widening freeways and interstates, and no gridlocked Washington DC to stand in our way!

Isn't that what David d. Friedman is?

It certainly seems more fun than having to keep advocating Keynes over and over again in this silly democracy.

Whoops I suggested it as an answer! It ain't that bad however!

Well if Keynes could be an Anarchist, I suppose Milton Friedman can be anarchist too... What about Anarcho-monetarism?

That isn't possible when LS purposefully trolls to bring it up.

Actually, you brought up Anarcho-Mercantilism, knowing full well that such a person exists, having posted back and forth with him on various blogs.

Out of respect to John Ess, I would be happy to have a truce. Besides, you and Wombatron are probably overdue at Wombie's forum to talk crap about the people on this one behind their back. Don't let me hold you guys up.

JE, sorry. Peace.

Anarcho-mercantilism is also taken. The Anarcho-Mercantilist has written a very good rebuke of left libertarianism. Not that it is very hard.

You mean this wonderful collection of strawmen, misrepresentations, fallacies, and false dualisms?

Damn it, this is getting petty. Can we agree to a general truce outside of specific left-vs.-right threads?

I recall the piece. Almost everything claimed in the piece is a misrepresentation or an outright lie. Long posted in the comments section asking him substantiate such claims, since most of them are false.

Yeah. That is kickass. I love it.

I see that you're trolling again.

Did I stop?

Brainpolice:
And that you'd take someone calling themselves "anarcho-mercantalist" seriously is quite revealing.

He gets around the blogosphere. I've found his comments and posts more insightful than the usual Anarcho-Diaper Rash Left.
