Two types of economic coercion



Ancaps claim to have a problem with stealing and ancom have a problem with murdering people by restricting access to resources.  Ancaps generally support opposing stealing even if it involves someone dying as a result but ancom support allowing access to resources even if ancaps may think it involves stealing.  They are both half correct as stealing or preventing access to water for someone can both be forms of unethical coercion.  

The key problem with insisting someone give you resources so you do not die is if someone must work to provide for you they are your slave.

In distributism individuals own their own means of production or land instead of states or collectives or corporations therefore it is more difficult to coerce people through either method.  

In some forms of post left anarchy people wish for a post scarcity society so either type of coercion stealing or withholding resources would be silly, but that has not yet been fully achieved. 

 In the classical liberal theories there is a balance between limited stealing or limited taxation and also limited provision of infrastructure, services and resources.

 In a welfare state for the poor resources are provided for the poor but only through stealing and most of the resources do not actually reach the poor but go to the state bureaucrats instead a large portion of the time.

 But the worst is corporate welfare where resources are stolen from the working class employees to give to their employers who coerce them into working as slaves to them by forcing them to pay fees or be thrown in jail through state taxation.

As long as people can choose whether or not they are a part of the other anarchist systems on a local level through voluntary communities instead of applying those systems worldwide they are all fine with me.  But the state does not make participation optional.
