AO1 Anarchists oppose the main economic systems of the 20th and 21st century, both state socialism and capitalism. AO2 Anarchists agree on their opposition to current economic systems, both socialism and capitalism, as economic freedom is a core principle for all anarchists, reflected by their role in the anti-capitalist movements since Seattle. [IJ] This is a justifiable argument that anarchists' rejection of the state in any form remains fundamental to their analysis of the failure of economic systems today. AO1 Anarchists see the need for a future economic system where free individuals can manage their own affairs. AO2 Anarchists agree on the need for a future economic system where free individuals can manage their own affairs, which entails no state regulation or intervention in economic life, as the rejection of the state is the core principle of anarchism. [IJ] There is a common goal in anarchist thinking to remove the state from its role in the economy by abolishing it. AO1 Anarchists would abolish existing economic systems to create economic freedom. AO2 Anarchists agree that abolition of existing economic systems is needed to create economic freedom, which is essential to nurturing the positive aspects of human nature in order to realise the core principle of liberty. [IJ] This will allow a peaceful, stateless society to develop, which is the agreed goal of all anarchist thought.

AO1 Collectivists would abolish private property and replace it with collective ownership and cooperation (Bakunin) or mutualism (Proudhon) and this view is different to that of individualists. AO2 Collectivist anarchists identify private property and exploitation as the core issues in the economy as they encourage selfishness, conflict and social disharmony (Proudhon), while the individualists see monopolies and state intervention in the market as the core issue as they restrict the reason and responsibility of the individual. [IJ] This highlights a core difference between the two strands in their analysis of the failures of existing economic models, leading to radically different views of economic freedom. AO1 Collectivists identify private property and exploitation as restricting freedom (Proudhon), while individualists see monopolies and state intervention in the market as restricting freedom. AO2 Collectivists envisage the abolition of private property to be replaced by collective ownership and cooperation (Bakunin) or ownership based on use or possession under mutualism (Proudhon), while individualists envisage an unfettered, free market, based on the principle of private property. [IJ] Consequently both believe only their own vision will create economic freedom and this shows a clear and irreconcilable difference over their views on economic arrangements in the future society. AO1 Individualists argue for an unfettered, free market, based on the principle of private property, which is different to the view of collectivists. AO2 Collectivisation and cooperation will nurture the rational, cooperative and altruistic aspects of human nature (Bakunin), while the free market will nurture the rational, self-interested and autonomous aspects of human nature, leading to natural order, which is the underlying principle of the peaceful, stateless society. [IJ] These two views are irreconcilable because of their fundamentally different viewpoints on the universal qualities of human nature.
