I'm sure this will be a huge surprise for all of you.

You Scored as Anarcho-Capitalist

Anarcho-capitalism is perhaps more closely linked the libertarian tradition than anarchism as it favours a free market and a stateless society. Private businesses would replace the functions of the state. This form of anarchism is largely an American phenomenon and first emerged in the 1950s (although it arguably has its roots in 19th century individualist anarchism and classical liberalism). Key thinkers include Murray Rothbard.

It's a rather mediocre quiz, the reason we get primitvist is because of the whole specialization aspect. Of course, most good theories of anarchism (those which are eventually against work) will dismiss specialization. Even the AFAQ trends in that direction, with people having the ability to do whatever jobs they enjoy, they would trend toward being polymaths of a sort.

Analogy for "anarcho"-capitalism:

Anarcho-patriarchy ... robots would replace the functions of the father/husband.


I.e., the same shit, but with even less potential for influence.

You Scored as Anarcho-Communist
Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thikers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.

Anarcho-Communist - 100%
Anarcho-Feminist - 100%
Anarcho-Syndicalist - 70%
Anarcho-Primitivist - 15%
Anarcho-Capitalist - 10%
Christian-Anarchist - 0%

Sounds about right. Except for the primmie and ancap bit. Eco-consciousness does not necessarily imply primitivism and support for individual autonomy does not necessarily imply capitalism.

Indeed: capitalism is the very antithesis of individual autonomy.

Agreed.

No, it has individual autonomy.... for the few.

err...

Ok, I guess that is not really right. If it wasn't for serfs, the capitalists would be fucked.

Right: autonomy for some finite number, at the expense of autonomy for the remainder, is the antithesis of autonomy.

I find it helpful to ask whether or not "freedom" is being used where "power" would be more accurate.

This is the case with capitalist apologists: when they talk about freedom, what they mean is the freedom to exclude others from the capitalist's "property"; to exploit wage-slaves; to amass wealth; in other words, the freedom to wield power.

That sort of "freedom" is entirely illegitimate.
