this reply isn't in good faith. OP is being self critical examining contradictions of living in complex interdependent societies. why are your queries so aggressively factional?

There is a very vocal minority of folks that when they come across a comment that at all looks like an opponent of ancap [1], they become unhinged, even in this case where the GP was being internally reflective about their own beliefs.

The irony has most likely circled their drain (which just goes into a creek anyways).

Which is especially ironic when they bring up an example like Cuba, where at least today, you can’t really say whether the policies or de facto sanctioning it receives are at fault for the current economic state.

they just said a planned economy where people's judgements of what is "valuable" allocate resources would not be a good idea, i dont see how that is "ancap" nor really all that wrong?
