I get that. I hope. My scepticism does not really stem from any delusions about the current state of affairs.

I just find it incredibly hard to envision a scenario where getting rid of politicians wouldn't just mean replacing them with different, more openly corporate rulers in anarcho capitalism. "People will figure something out" may just be true, but on the other hand, corporations consist of people, too. People who aren't dumb either and who would be in quite the advantaged position.

I really don't want to argue how you're wrong and I'm right (I think I do that too often). I just suspect that I won't be able to be convinced that more capitalism is the solution any more than I could convince you that we need to leave capitalistic principles behind as much as possible.

It's like you didn't even read my message. What part of people resisting would-be rulers because they don't accept rulers anymore do you find incredibly hard to envision?
