No more lame internet debates with this people! Throw the book at Commies!

[lucidhawk]

The massive number of anarcho-communists and anarcho-syndicalists I've seen on the internet over the past year disturbs to me..

Yeah we can say it's all fine and dandy if they are committed to the nonaggression principle. But attempts at communism always seem to devolve into the worst forms of statism.
Lets not forget that Marx himself said communism was without rulers.

..So these countries that attempted socialism in order to supposedly evolve to communism were attempting to evolve into stateless societies and look at how BAD that went.

For the sake of efficiency.. I want a single book I can refer them to and move on. ..There are plenty of theoretical works that completely decimate socialist paradigms through logic.
But these people don't listen to logic..

So I ask.. Where is a book solely on the history of attempts at communes and communism in the 20th century?

Where is this book? Why hasn't it been written? I can only find a few really crappy sounding books.
I seriously cannot find one even at Mises.org.

This book is demanding itself be written..
Am I going to have to perform necromancy to get Rothbard back from the dead to write this thing?

I don't care. Let them be idiots.

Too many idiots in the world for some kind of "order" to prevail and maintain indefinitely. There will always be plenty of idiots in the world. It will never work.........

I'd have to agree, as long as they're truly "anarcho."

In my experience they aren't particularly 'anarcho' since they advocate turning guns on the rest of us to live in their 'Syndicalist paradise'. Our resident Syndicalist troll Zhwazi is a perfect example of the kinds of mental disorder that says 'There is no way we're going to allow Capitalist Town and Syndicalist Town to coexist peacefully'.

Hayek, Menger, Mises, and others all did scathing works on the principles of communism and syndicalism. The reason there isn't a definitive guide: I asked a George Mason economist and professor about 'these syndicalist guys'. His response, "Don't worry about those guys. It's nonsense. Nothing new; same errors and irrationality that's been discredited for over 100 years.

Discredited yes but new kids keep getting sucked in with every new generation at a rate that seems to be near the levels of the "free market" liberty movement.

Communism has always been popular amongst an indoctrinated, 'idealist' (Altruistic ideals) youth.  I think that if there is a spike in the growth rate in numbers of 'believers', it's not equal to that of free thinking people.
Still, if you're living in a mixed market, and it's perceived to have failed, a lot of disillusioned people are going to push toward one end or the other of the communism and capitalism (or free markets or whatever the Ian's of this forum want to call it) scale.

Well, that's the rub, isn't it?
