You are insisting that capitalism IS communism.

Precisely. I'm saying that todays so called capitalist societies are not really capitalist. I'm saying that we don't really have any good examples of free markets anywhere.

I don't believe in taxes as I think it is forcing people to do something. But that doesn't mean I don't believe that truly free market capitalism might be prone to big wealth disparity with all the problems that lead to. I'm arguing that those wealth disparities are a problem in themselves.

Therefore it is important to think about what one can do to make sure that the wealth disparity does not become big enough to be a problem. What I'm talking about is that in a truly anarcho-capitalist society, culture is really important. A culture that embraces the fact that we live in a community and shouldn't stranger to one another, that one should try to help other people intelligently (by teaching them the skills they need to help themselves).

Wealth is important for your opportunities and if your culture is so confoundedly stupid that you can't understand that nor think that it has negative consequences, then I suggest you think again!
