    Anarchists already don’t agree with some Marxists. Some Marxists identify capitalism with markets. Anarchists tend to distinguish markets and capitalism, and admit even if they are anti-market themselves that:

    1. Capitalism is not synonymous with the use of markets i.e. a postcapitalist society could use markets with worker coops in some cases
    2. Anarchy would have room for experimentation with different non-capitalist economic mechanisms including non-capitalist markets

      I’m well aware. I personally am anarchist. This is supposed to be a unifying space though, so I’m not sure I want to focus the points of contention

        That’s fair. I thought discussing what the differences are would be useful to enable clearer understanding of each other. Often, people tend to talk past each other

          I appreciate your contribution. I’m not opposed to your post. I just want to take care not to alienate other leftists and post-leftists, especially since I’m a moderator here.
