My political/economic philosophy priors: 1. No rule about political/economic systems is completely accurate or universal 2. In general, emergent phenomenon from low-level agents is better than top-down rules 3. Culture has huge impact, and often determines the success of a system

re: 2; emergent phenomenon leads to better stability and a more complex and vibrant being; see what systems arise naturally out of watching people pursue what they need, and will often be way more nuanced and detailed in the right ways than planned laws can be.

re: 3; debating if communism/anarchy/capitalism is best leaves out the incredible importance of the culture of the people in this system. The system and the culture work in tandem as one being; you can't separate them. A system might thrive with one culture but fail with another.
