Whats the problem with free enterprise?Isn't it where people are able to create there own businesses? Sure is. But from a communists point of view who gives a shit. Workers don't get paid for the value of their labour they get paid for the value of their labour power so we are treated like any another commodity or input in the enterprise. Free enterprise doesn't last long anyways because in capitalism some company's win and become huge money makers while others (the majority) loose and it becomes hard to enter the market especially if the startup cost is huge.

As an anarchist my biggest problem at the moment is the state. The state enforces the property "rights" that enable one company to make a shit load of "wealth".

I would have to say that market socialism (which wouldn't be free enterprise) would be an alternative, http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=51619 this thread for possible details), is possible under an anarchism.

The concept of free enterprise assumes the ability to accumulate masses amounts of wealth that cannot be used. This requires either a state or some other large body of armed peoples to enforce those "rights". This will mean an infringement on liberty, which I am against.

This is my problem with free enterprise.
