I keep seeing people talk about "negative externalities". Like the government isn't just one big outside party fucking things up for everyone not involved in it. It's really staring to piss me off.

Welcome to being a libertarian.  Yeah, lots of special pleading we deal with.

Anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron. How can anyone claim to want 'no rulers' but then attempt to merge this with a system that will deny goods/products/services to the poor man but provide for the rich? You can't. Any system that contains a financial aspect cannot be Anarchistic. Money is a fiction, anyone who wishes that a fiction should hold sway over any individuals life, in any way at all, is simply not an Anarchist. Even to the smallest degree. A monetary system is the initiation of force.

This old argument I I think having a left-anarchist perspective here is a good thing so I'd like to keep things civil so as to avoid your ban but lets look at it this way. If a grou pof people want to voluntary enter an agreement of ownership ala a "capitalist" structure would an anarcho-communist society try to stop them? By force if necessary?  What if I had a personal garden where I grew tomato plants? is everybody entitled to those plants? If so then why should I grow them if people can just barge in and take them? what if I wanted to build a factory on the common land? Since it belongs to everybody I naturally  have a right to use it as I see fit correct?

I don't know. I'm not a left anarchist. Going by the two top comments I'd say no.

1.a) If a group of people want to voluntary enter an agreement of ownership ala a "capitalist" structure would an anarcho-communist society try to stop them? b) By force if necessary? 2. What if I had a personal garden where I grew tomato plants, is everybody entitled to those plants? If so then why should I grow them if people can just barge in and take them? 3)what if I wanted to build a factory on the common land? Since it belongs to everybody I naturally  have a right to use it as I see fit correct?

1.a) I was going to say "no", but then I noticed you said "anarcho-communist", instead of the usual thing, so first I'll have to figure out how you can be anarcho and communists at the same time. b) I guess you're neighbors could conceivably get together and force you to stop doing whatever it is you're doing, or force you to do whatever it is you're not doing - even in the absence of a formulized government.

2. No, but that only "stops" people from barging in and taking them MOST of the time, regardless of which politico-economic format the program is currently running.

3. Not really. Since there is (apparently) agreement among the group that this is a "common area", the group privy to the agreement would have to decide on the designated use(s) of that space. As a general rule, this type of area doesn't include factories or most types of traditional businesses.

From the colonoscopy bag that is Jezebel:

Oh please. Taxes are not *your* money. If people could give up the idea that it's THEIR money being pried out of their hands, rather than just another bill, there'd be a lot less whining. You want lights, you pay the electric company. You want a place to live, you pay the bank or landlord. You want food, you pay the grocery store. You want to live in a civilized society, you pay taxes. Get. Over. It.

From the colonoscopy bag that is Jezebel:

Ask them why it's a percentage of your earnings and not based on say....actual services rendered like you know...every single sane business in the world?

Bill Gates isn't getting more roads, more police, more courts and more military so why does he have to pay more?  It makes no sense unless you think of it like a mafia demanding their cut just because.

And even if it WERE a bill, how does that justify sending armed men to your house if you don't pay.  Can you imagine if a private business did that?

Guess they forgot about asset forfeiture.  Among other things...
