Its also the same reason when you ask me "what is the economics of an anarchist system" that i am unable to give a clear answer. Anarcho communes have been known to let all kinds of economic systems exist simultaneously within their community. Christiania (an anarcho commune in Denmark) allowed anarcho capitalists to join their commune. In fact they even allowed them to set up their shops on main street and compete for positions. Of course they were not allowed to buy land, nor were they allowed to dominate the economic structure by making laws that only printed money be considered valueable in the community. They were not taxed at all, nor were they given harsh rules and regulations. As long as it was in the spirit of cooperation, they were welcome to conduct business. When the community needed more funds to build a children center (a school) the mothers of the commune would send out a representative with a bucket asking for donations. They not only got donations, but also free samples of the goods they were selling along with compliments about doing a good thing for the community. THESE are the type of capitalists that I like. They are not allowed to use legislation to dominate the market. And because of this, the left wing of the commune would support them. sure, they would complain about capitalism in general, but they would not make themselves an authority to ban them. as long as the simple rules of the commune were followed, the capitalist members were allowed to make 100% of their profits with no taxes or strings attached.
I support this, and i see no reason why anarcho-capitalists and anarcho socialists cannot mingle in peace.
