My teacher gave this an A, so may help.

How has anarchism been linked to ‘free market’ capitalism? 15mks

All anarchists believe that in the place of the political order of the state, a natural order, from below, will occur.

Individualists believe that the natural order of the market will prevail. This market is self-regulating so is a free market. Adam Smith believed that a free market would be controlled by the ‘invisible hand’ of competition and supply and demand. Anarchists believe that this would not lead to chaos as the market would be self-regulating. So in this way anarchism in linked to free market capitalism.

Tucker said that ‘genuine anarchism is consistent manchesterism’. Manchesterism refers to the ideas of free-market supporters. Therefore it seems that many anarchists see a vital part of anarchism being a stateless society with a capitalist free market.

The anarcho-capitalist view of human nature says that people are driven by self-interest. Therefore they believe that people should be allowed to pursue this within a free market as everyone is entitled to freedom. They believe that pursuing this self interest will lead to a natural order of the market.

The idea of the free market has had a revival during the 20th century, and although most supporters still see the need for a minimal state, anarcho-capitalists do not see this need. Anarcho-capitalists such as Rothbard and Friedman believe that everything can be controlled by the free market. The see law and order being provided by the market and believe that this will ensure that they provide a good service and are known for fairness due to competition and the pursuit of profit in the market.

However strands of anarchism do not have this connection, for example anarcho-communists. They believe in the principle ‘from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.’ This is not the idea of a free market and is a more communist view that we should aim for material equality or distribution according to need.

When anarchist ideas are put into practise, Miller found that individualist experiments with property ownership and free markets have been more successful that those based on this communist idea of distribution according to need.

Therefore anarchism is linked to free market capitalism, but only really the individualist anarcho-capitalism strand (based in Liberalism). The other, more dominant, collectivist anarcho-communist strand (based in socialism) is not linked to a capitalist free market, it is effectively against this.

Thank you 'Rainbowworld' that was perfect!! Anything your unsure about dont hesistate to ask me :smile:

i cant really go into detail much, but i can give u an outline of the answers.
1) even in aconstitional govt, the state still has some power, legitmised by the consent given by the people. any sought of power will corrupt and thuse oppress the citizens, hence general anarchist rejection of consitituionalism and consent

you can expand that with individual and collectivist anarchism, for example, shared communites being more efficient and co-operative than a constitituion. but im worried if you do that you might be diverging from the question

2)another simple outline: marxists view of the state is that once capitalism is overthrown, there will be a dictatorship of the proletariat, wehre the working class gain political power until a classeless society forms. However, anarchists reject ANY form of the state, as even a small amount of power can lead to corruptness

i dont have a set plan, but the basic point is that:
1. conservatives are concerned with social stability in wanting hierarchy, authority, believing in organic society etc. As shown in trad. cons, one nationism and neo-cons.
HOWEVER
2. neo-liberals are primarily concerned with economic freedom and therefore stress individualism over organic society, hierarchy etc.

does that make sense?
