Self-management societies vs anarcho-capitalism: The new global war of ideologies?

[nomoba]

... the brutality and the immediacy with which neoliberalism currently expands even in the most developed countries of the West, has not contributed to the emergence of revolutions with the classical form of the past, but it seems that leads societies in gradually rebuild the base of some principles and values which were declined heavily under the highly “economistic” nature of the dominant socio-political model of the last two decades or more.

I highly doubt it. Anarcho-capitalism is far too dysfunctional to ever be a legitimate global ideology. Any society founded on its values would quickly collapse into plain old state-run capitalism, the state being the property owners, or feudalism.

"Self-management societies" aren't an ideology either. You could have self-managed societies operating on a huge number of different ideological foundations, and a large number of those ideologies are represented among the members of this website, so I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you all about that. So if we're talking about a war of ideas, it would be way more complicated than that.

Also, if we're talking about a real, violent war, I don't know about other ideologies as much, but a society built on any kind of truly anarchist foundation would not consider war, other than in self-defense, to be something worth engaging in, and really wouldn't have the infrastructure or political structure to even engage in organized, aggressive warfare. Therefore, if there ever was a war between state-run capitalistic societies and self-managed communities, it would likely be a war of guerilla resistance against organized capitalist aggression.

neoliberal expansionism is contributing to a mass insurgency in India, the Philippines, and the revival of M-L guerrilla movements all over the third world. We'll see what happens

"Self-management" has been tried, by Ben Bella, by the Yugoslav Stalinists etc., and there is a reason all of the examples are in the relatively distant past.

"Anarcho-capitalism" as a movement exists only on the Internet. Much like the uniquely American brand of right-"libertarianism". The only reason anyone pays attention to these people is that they're very loud and very committed to evangelising for their little right-wing cult, but I would guess there are more LaRouchites than anarcho-capitalists.

Yeah, Yugoslavia failed due to its "self-management", right.

"Anarcho"-Capitalists aren't anarchists in any way. So there's that. They're essentially American Libertarianism to the extreme, ad nauseam. I could come up with a more functional ideology in the few minutes I have on the toilet. And there won't be a global war of ideologies in any real sense, it will be "fought out" in academia for sure, but even there neoliberalism is getting a thorough thrashing.
