like what
it would be the first thing i try to do bro
ill give you some taders if you join my personal workforce and help me build some bullshit
and btw if you join my workforce ill give u more than anyone else would give u because its supplemental to what you're already getting from others
you could literally materialismaxx by just lying about what you have
someone could be like
pls sir im so hungry and i need food pls :((
then they have like buckets of food in their basement lol
its not like anyone can go check thats authoritarian and intrudes on privacy
thats literally what i would do bro id just collect enough goods to be able to offer them in exchange for work
if it gets big enough ill establish a little community where the trades are done with a currency that can be exchanged for the good at a bank yk
theres literally nothing stopping me from doing this right?
theres no state or authority so why cant i just do this?

Well... i think they would say that people just wouldn't start a business, from social pressure and good will by the person. So if youre trying to argue against an anarchism it's better to question when a pressure becomes a government and how far a pressure shall go in... pressure, rather than asking "what's stopping me"... because social pressure, theoretically, would be stopping you.
I could stop here but i just want to say i think a land with no government is possible, but it's way too hard for how much benefit it would bring, the effort deluuttess the benefit anygays have a good day.

Anarcho-socialists often blame capitalism for their problems, but I'm convinced half of them are capitalists and capitalism is the default state of anarchy. You can't have anarchy, and also abolish property; to abolish property you'd need an authority with the power to use force against those who "refuse to share." Therefore anarcho-socialism either becomes capitalistic by nature, or establishes a government to take and give as it sees equal. The latter usually leads to totalitarianism, and becomes either poor (Venezuela), militaristic (Soviet Union), or ironically fascist (China).
Meanwhile if the capitalists form a government it can be so minimal that its only purpose is to help stop theft and violence (minarchy). The problem in a capitalist society is when the government starts playing a role in business, which is corporatism, fascism, or crony capitalism, but these don't have to be inherent to capitalist society- while it seems any government under socialism inherently becomes tyrannical.
There is a third option to these political and economic systems, which is religious community. People who simply share, or don't steal, or whatever it be, based on uniform religious conviction. But I've only seen that work for the Amish, and they kinda have the crutch of the outside world providing them with security from invasion as well as a place for excommunicate people to go.
