I think Sanarchists and Canarchists are completely opposite. This needs to be emphasized. Otherwise people, including myself mistakenly associate anarchy with Canarchy. If on the other hand they associated anarchy with Sanarchy, then the community opinion might be dramatically different. It seems historically Sanarchy has been hijacked by Canarchists. The only thing they have in common is the "absence of state". Otherwise they are ideologically opposite. IMO one is the left without government the other is the right without government.

Nah, historically anarcho-socialists have been slaughtered by authoritarian socialists (spanish civil war, ukraine, etc). Anarcho-capitalism is relatively new and relative US invention (at least as a school of political philosophy) -- most of the world still views anarchy/anarchism/libertarianism as being socialist movements from the Left, since that's what they have historically been. I don't think anarcho-capitalists have hijacked much.

I don't think they are inherently incompatible views -- likely a broad "anarchy" could develop in many different directions and likely some of those we can't envision. I'm more concerned with the "how we get there" piece of the disagreement than "what thing will look like once we are there"

I view Sanarchy as the adherence to Marxism economics, without infringements upon personal expression and interaction.


Well, Marx's vision of the final stage of Communism was essentially anarchist, when the State withers away. But the dictatorship of the proletariat has always been a bit of a sticking point (and was the reason anarchists broke from Marxism in the first place). Honestly, i think Marx was a much better critic of Industrial Capitalism (perhaps the best) than a political visionary.
