I have a feeling the word you meant to say was semantics, and also, at the end of the libertarian revolution, all the land divvied up would be privately owned and operated by whoever first did labor on it. Wheras in a communist revolution, the land would be publicly owned by the state (read: privately owned by a shadow council) and use of the land would be decided by the central government.

Because as it turns out, anarcho-capitalism has the same problem with bullshit dichotomies that antifa faggots plague themselves with. The only saving grace, if you can call it that, is that anarcho-capitalists don't have antifa's choice in making this a dichotomy: the central tenant is that any government making laws and raising taxes, regardless of context, violates people's NAP. Anarcho-capitalists will organically reconstitute into a feudal system as >>80465 explains, like how anarcho-communist societies will organically form a totalitarian dictatorship.

In other words, anarchism naturally gives way to some form of government, regardless of its economics.

Give a straight answer instead of meming. We've already said a private central bank is a contradiction in terms and why it is so. Having a legal monopoly on the issuing of State currency (and distributing it) is far removed from private. If you work for and with the State you are part of the State.

The state can force you to accept a specific currency, private persons can't. I mean force in the sense that the state can legally and violently punish you to accept worthless dollar bills and not to accept gold, silver, or seashells.

In a market without restrictions about what can or can't be used as a money, people would either trade in gold or silver (not because they have innate value, but because their physical properties and scarcity make them ideally suited as a currency), or in warehouse receipts for gold or silver, in other words: In bills, but bills that you could exchange for a specific amount of a commodity money. They wouldn't except paper with no value behind it, and competition among banks would ensure that such paper money wouldn't last long. Bring a government in, and you can introduce fiat, though, and make fractional reserve banking viable. It could always happen that a private bank issues some paper money with nothing behind it in addition to bank receipts, trusting that not all clients would withdraw from the bank at once, but that would be a shady little fraud in a free market, whereas now, it's open policy.

Bring a Private company in, and you can introduce fiat, though, and make fractional reserve banking viable.

The Private company can force you to accept a specific currency, private persons can't. I mean force in the sense that the private can legally (because either no self enforced laws or are on good terms with private courts to do this) and violently punish you to accept worthless dollar bills and not to accept gold, silver, or seashells.

The only way this does not apply is if it is out of the physical domain of the private company, other dicos les can adopt the same method and even the same type of currency.

The reason the company would have to accept other currencies is because to not do so would put it at a competitive disadvantage.

Because USD is the world reserve currency since America took over the world markets with the IMF and World Bank after WW2, and in alliance with the Arabs after the 1970s oil crisis. If you're already dominant due to extraneous factors why switch? The Yuan is subject to currency controls and as a result has much less usage in foreign exchange, and only debuted much more recently. There are also the competing reserve currencies of the Euro, Pound, and Yen, but as those three currencies are issued by nations in alliance with the US they don't seriously try to supplant it.

This is by no means a good state of affairs though because the US can't effectively manage USD being both a national and international reserve currency, what with it pumping out a massive amount of new USD to bail out the banks after the 2007 recession and devaluing it but not collapsing it simply because other nations need to hold it in faith to trade. The fact that it can't collapse as a result of current arrangements along with low Federal Reserve interest rates also allows America to be a consumer credit nation and the world's source of capital investment despite the fact that it really isn't justified.

This disconnect is why the BRICS nations are attempting to create an actual alternative, but for it to be meaningful it would require China to open up capital flows so that wealthy Chinese can invest abroad. However that would come at a cost to the average person as money would be flowing out of the country and an increase in value from successful enterprise would make their labour less profitable in international markets. As the Chinese Communist Party is obsessed with stability it has so far not deviated from the previous path of forced devaluations to maintain growth, and in comparison with the West it has more tools at its disposal to establish policies such as minimum wage hikes. This is not viable in the long term however as the CCP's domestic investment lending is suffering a decline rate of profit, and without making a change it will enter into a period of stagnation. The Belt and Road initiative is a state program to turn this around under managed means but governments generally suck ass at making financial decisions and it will likely fail.

Even if the USD continues to inflate thanks to irresponsible policy, the Chinese tether to American consumption and the Yuan's intentional lack of international exposure currently cripples its ability to be a replacement. The "currency" that has the greatest characteristics to replace the USD is the IMF Special Drawing Right (XDR), but it isn't in great enough circulation and its value is backed by the currency pools of the various nations that contribute to the IMF, which all have their own sovereign interests both diverging and converging so the possibility of its widespread usage is low.
