I'm with you about capitalism too. Health care for profit? Crazy. I don't trust market forces to fix anything except prices, keeping them high and the income gap wide. Our current system turns justice and influence into just one more commodity.
However I don't want to leave justice to mob rule either.
I think my problem is that I have been speaking of anarchy in general. One minute it is just plain old anarchy, the next I am speaking of Anarcho-capitalism, syndicalism, etc.. Im also jumping around on time frames..pre revolution. Early stages, and sometimes further into the system.
As I sadi before, I am not perfect with this topic. Im much better at others, but I appreciate people challenging me and allowing me to discuss it.
As far as crime and justice, of course there will be very few laws in a social setting. Most of the rules would be schematics and standards for industry. if you screw them up the procedures agreed upon by whatever trade union you belong to will be applied...removed from the job, remedial education, etc... heinous social crimes such as rape, murder, etc... Before I have given basic examples of very basic anarchist ideas across the board. In my concept of a syndicate some of these offenders would be sent to a sanitorium. There will be psych professionals and jobs for those who are willing to do orderly jobs. Instead of treating these people like socially unwanted slime, they will be given physical and mental care. Studies will be made and help will be administered to those who have anger issues, sexual issues, etc. Communal work would be encouraged in the facility and since everything is egalitarian to the core there will be a greatly lessened chance of abusing the system. As long as profit exists in a community, you will have abuse of the system. Forensic sciences would still exist. correctional systems would be replaced by mental and physical health professionals. If the patients have a problem that is incurable then they will be cared for so that they will not hurt themselves or others.
I hope that helps clear things up.
I think I should stop jumping all around on the system and stick specifically with a full blown syndicate system in action for now on...to help avoid confusion.
