Just not John’s kind. It all amounts to lifeless transactional relations, mind you I don’t think ancaps are the worst of the ideologues and would prefer them to hold some territory as opposed to an established leviathan state of affairs. Ditto for organizational ancoms.

John and Lily seem like nice people and at the level of crude sensibilities they are the less reprehensible a cap compared to the white western ideology types. I just wish they would make the connection between ancapism and white western ideology. Anarchists forget that there used to a symbiotic relationship with ancaps in the 80s and 90s back when networks were much smaller before Indy media. It might be useful to strike up some type of discursive relationship with them again.

Ancaps really are degenerated Tuckerites who moved into the discursive niche that he established in the pre-ww1 world. Ancapism is what happens during the inner wars and post-ww2 world when proles and humanity as a whole get more access to property and capital. Given that there’s been a slow but steady contraction of this it would good to try and push more ancaps back the Proudhonian fold. To that end I’d like to see C4SS type tendencies grow and ancap tendencies decline.
