Capitalist vs. Socialist Anarchism (video)
My university transitioned to online teaching in the latter half of the spring semester. So I recorded video lectures for all of my remaining classes. The whole thing felt like this was no longer a real class or real teaching, but I did my best. Or at least my not-so-bad.
Anyway, I realized that some people who are not my students might be interested in these videos. I also realized that I have a YouTube channel (to which I apparently uploaded a single video two years ago, then did nothing else). So I have uploaded my first lecture to that channel.
This was made for students in Philosophy 3200, Social & Political Philosophy. It's just me narrating my PowerPoint slides. But maybe some people will find it interesting.

TL;DW: Capitalist anarchism is better than socialist anarchism for three reasons:
The socialists don't have a good solution to crime. Anarcho-capitalists do, relying on competing security agencies.
Capitalists serve useful economic functions, which the socialists are overlooking.
Socialist anarchism is unstable: a socialist economy would spontaneously evolve into capitalism, if there is no state to stop people from starting capital-controlled businesses.
