Capitalist Sectarianism

[Property Is Robbery]

Is Capitalist sectarianism as bad as leftist sectarianism? Do Misesians fight with Keynesians to the counter productive extent of Maoists vs. Trots vs. Stalinists vs. Anarchists etc?

There's no politicisation to it, money speaks so they say. The rich dictate policy based on their own interests, the best we can do to fight back is to be aware of who owns what and what their real politics are. Boycotting is a hugely powerful tool that is never used properly.

Absolutely not in my opinion. The capitalists are all united under the banner of exploitation of their workers and acquiring more and more capital. The capitalist tendencies do not fight as they have much, much bigger issues like those damn Commies and their worldwide conspiracies. :laugh:

If you were to look at the world as presented by CNN or Fox News, you would certainly think so. It really does appear like they are at each others' throats, and all kinds of nasty vitriol is often brought out, especially among the right-wing.

That said, I'm sure they know they have more in common than is often let on, and do not think for one moment they will not put their differences aside and unite were a revolutionary situation to develop.

Keynesian welfareists hate neocons as nearly as much as trots hate left-wing anarchists, just watch any US Presidential Election or CNN v Fox N

Ayn Rand hated Libertarians almost more then she hated Communists, calling them "Scum, who stole her ideas"

Aside from the intellectual property issue, Rand repeatedly mentioned Libertarianism's association with anarchism and appeal to anarchist as a reason for eir dismissal of the movement. I guess it just wasn't elitist and authoritarian enough for em!

Oh, they definitely have sectarianism. Maybe not exactly how communists have it (like the Trotskyists vs. Leninists, whatever) but I've watched capitalists battle on forums. Also, the liberals vs. conservatives. =]

Well, just like communism, the issue of centralisation and intervention from a central organisation is always present.

Kenyesian think the market must be regulated while libertarian believe in the invisible hand, of course they will hate eachother guts.

and between kenyesian and libertarian there are a series of differents political and economical stance, so yea there is sectarianism within the capitalist ideology.
