Can anyone elaborate on this? Very interested on understanding Mutualism but most things I've read makes it very vague/broad. Anyone one more educated than me on this or even one of the few mutualists on here want to shed light on this and how would a mutualist society work in practice?

I guess it all comes down to how a state is defined. I mean, do you argue that the feudal state, which is really just a conglomeration of tenure relations between land owners, is a modern state? Clearly not. State institutions such as the police, a standing army, formal institutions and ministries, bureaucracy, rule of law, etc. - this all came about with capitalism because the changing social relations of capitalism (which aren't mere feudal tenure relations over land anymore) require a different structure to uphold them.

This isn't very controversial.

In the same way that socialism is just sharing your toys like your mama told you to.

He was laughing at you because states predate capitalism, and when capitalism came about the power of states was significantly diminished.


 No.82816

>>82797

>Nigger the term "utopian" was designed to describe socialist systems in 1832.

There were no "socialist systems" in 1832 and the term "utopian socialism" was coined by Marx to criticize Saint-Simon, Owen's, etc. utopian sketches of socialism ignoring the material conditions. There is a difference between utopian socialism and scientific socialism.

>In the same way that socialism is just sharing your toys like your mama told you to

Is that supposed to be an argument?

>He was laughing at you because states predate capitalism, and when capitalism came about the power of states was significantly diminished.

Imagine being this historically illiterate. Pre-capitalist statecraft wasn't even institutionalized. The police force, the army and the bureaucracy as we know it coincide with the birth of capitalism. There is a reason historians call the feudal state Personenverbandsstaat which is completely different from the capitalist state.


 No.82869

>>82816

>The police force, the army and the bureaucracy as we know it coincide with the birth of capitalism.

Institutional military orders existed in feudal societies. China was renown for their bureaucratic system, so much so that they maintained it even under Manchu and Mongol control. Perhaps you are thinking of the prominence of these during mercantilist Europe?


 No.82885

>>82816

>marxism is da reel socialism

Socialism was started by Rousseau and first implemented in the French revolution. The term "utopian", as in someone who believes in utopia, was first used to describe Rousseau and his socialist beliefs.

The fact that Marx, another utopian, used it to slander his ideological competitors is beside the point.

>ignoring the material conditions

Which Marx and modern "scientific socialists" do nonstop.

>Is that supposed to be an argument?

I don't know is your bullshit interpretation of feudalism supposed to be one?

>The police force, the army and the bureaucracy as we know it coincide with the birth of capitalism.

There are societies before the invention of the written word that have had a police force, army and a bureaucracy as we know it. Capitalism was developed as an offshoot of Mercantilism, ergo it's only a few hundred years old, not much older than socialism itself in fact. So you're more than ten thousand years off… Mr. Historical Literacy.

>Socialism was started by Rousseau and first implemented in the French revolution.

The Diggers or the Essenes might have something to say about that.

Thanks for standing up to ML-centrism, though. Almost all real left history occurs before Marx and ends before him. Not with him, before him…

mutualist here, holy shit

It's just capitalism with extra steps honestly. The only difference you'll find between me and an AnCap is that I include the question: "Is it mutually voluntary?" in addition to "Is it an aggression?" within the NAP valuation.

It might stop rich landholders from hoarding or speculating upon land value, but it broadly doesn't prevent rent contracts or private property or voluntary hierarchy.

>>83698

I don't advocate for it because:

I'm not willing to enforce it - if it's anyone's job to shoot you with a gun, it's probably the judiciary's and not mine

I don't give a fuck about the means of production - if you want to work for or be capitalist scum, I don't expect the judiciary to care enough to shoot you if it's demonstrably a voluntary arrangement

I do advocate for it because:

AnCaps will claim that having a non-revocable bill of rights is contrary to "true voluntaryism" and they should therefore be able to hold slaves

Also equally, you'll find a similar "the NAP only applies when I feel like it" attitude with people on the left except they'll want you to fund a social safety net on a non-voluntary basis

It's all in pursuit of "true voluntaryism", whatever that is. But a mutualist judge is gonna take one look at your slave contract and go "yeah, no, this is bullshit even if the defendant signed it - bill of rights doesn't permit you to volunteer or sell this."

In other words I guess I'm an AnCap who wants a certain level of market controls, but not the sort of market controls usually desired by AnCaps in order to engineer a monopoly for themselves

It's an odd position to be in. Contradictions all over the show. But I'm sticking with it. Mutualism is about the right level of regulation reductionism. I don't even argue about the means of production because nobody's free enough yet where that matters.

>thus advocating personal property, but not private property.

In an ideal world I'd be an AnCap, but I don't agree with AnCap jew magic where they invent a debt, or conspire to fix prices, or speculate on food prices and then call the resulting mass starvation "the best way for the market to correct itself". This is some quackery bullshit that I don't expect people to sit through.


 No.83807

>>83806

>invent a debt

Is there no credit systems in mutualism?

>conspire to fix prices

Competition prevents this from happening long-term.

>speculate on food prices and then call the resulting mass starvation

How does speculation cause mass starvation? Any examples?


 No.83811

>>83807

>Is there no credit systems in mutualism?

charging rent and interest are both frowned upon, but I don't believe proudhon insisted they need to be prohibited outright. I'm not sure what he intended tbh. My views are similar. Not keen on rent for land you don't personally use.

>Competition prevents this from happening long-term

I don't believe scientific industries generate sufficient competition. Because things are not primordial any more, but have coagulated (naturally) into a central mass. It's like trying to build a train when you have to compete with Japan's pre-existing 300kmh behemoths. There won't be many takers willing to even have a go. The few companies that do are in a position to do some market conspiring. They don't face much competition outside the loop.

>How does speculation cause mass starvation? Any examples?

17th-18th century grain hoarding/speculating, Shakespeare allegedly did it


 No.83840

>>83811

That speculation actually did not cause starvation. By hoarding grain, it postponed the sale of wheat to a time of greater need prior to harvest when the grain fetches a higher price. A Random Walk Through Wall Street covers this in the Chicago futures market.
