You see, they argue that wealth enables exploitation. I say: a gun enables first degree murder; but that doesn’t make the gun “wrong” per se. If they want to demonize oppression, exploitation, corruption, what-have-you, I’m on board.

But when they start bridging that gap, like, “Wealth enables exploitation therefore wealth is bad and evil,” well, that’s where I have to part ways with them.

And, I’m not at all sold on the distinction they make between “property” and “possession”. It’s just such an abstract area and they base their opposition to “property” on the same wrong (IMO) argument that “wealth is bad”.

Aurini: As a result of this article, I’ve come to realize that Anarcho-Communists are a larger piece of the Anarchist pie than I’d previously realized.

I’m currently trying to get a better footing on what tenants they hold, and then I’ll be writing a followup. To put it simply, blaming hierarchy and capital for everything misses the point – those are truths forced pon us by cold and cruel mother nature, not *just* by the patriarchy.
