To be anti-capitalist does not imply anti-market. It means to be against using state power to create state enforced scarcities.
@djon3s maybe fr civic lesson or reading locke/nietzsche. It comes to mind because that's why I think strong states are worth fighting for

@Arcadian_O Interesting, I think something like rule of law is ok, but 'strong states' are also laws unto themselves. As for Locke... -
@Arcadian_O ...re-read? Locke's views on property, human nature, etc is stark & uncharitable. Violence against humans to enforce property? -
@Arcadian_O Capital punishment? -
@Arcadian_O etc. Locke is a 'liberal' in the proper sense of that word. Progressive for its time but today, utterly stark, depressing... -
@Arcadian_O (Was going to say here that Locke & arresting people for 'stealing water' go hand in hand.)
