Debate: What is wrong with Capitalism?
Side: Nothing

Anarchists fail to see the importance that objectively defined unbiased, laws play in the functioning of Capitalism. They point to the many flaws of government as a reason to throw it out, rather than correct it.Many self-proclaimed 'anarchists' that I am aware of have no use for so-called 'laws' because they are subjective and biased. Much of what people see as a problem with capitalism is more a symptom of monopolists gaining an advantage by paying certain politicians to pass a 'law' or regulation that destroys their competitors because they are using up any funds they have to stay in compliance with some 'law' or regulation.These 'anarchists' identify themselves as 'anarcho-capitalists' and see voluntary interaction as the only way capitalism can work smoothly.They point to the many flaws of government as a reason to throw it out, rather than correct it.Those who cling to the belief that there is such a thing as 'government' may talk of overthrow but, such talk and/or actions to do such a thing is more in line with symptoms of larger problems rather than any sort of solution; it also, gives others a mis-perception towards what 'Anarchy' actually is.The 'anarcho-capitalists', or as some prefer 'voluntaryists', discard any belief in 'government' at all. The claim is that there is no such thing and the flaws that are being pointed is shown as proof; in their book there is nothing to correct, except Individuals' taking responsibility for their actions.Capitalism requires the rule of enforceable law. The key is understanding and codifying proper laws, which are relatively few.Whose 'law' and who gets to decide for everyone else? You mentioned earlier that capitalism is simply trade. That requires willingness on two Individuals, at least, to haggle back and forth until they can come to an agreement. A third party can be useful in settling particularly difficult disputes and people will tend towards this more so than all out violence. Any sort of real Law is naturally enforces itself, through Individuals using their own judgment on how to interact and find peaceful resolutions, but this takes an understanding on a personal level and knowing that their is nothing a person can do to change a real Law.If I understand what you are saying about "codifying proper laws" do you mean recognizing why certain actions are flat out wrong to do and laying out ways in which restitution and/or retribution will be made? Like for example, murder is understood to be wrong, so, folks have no real issue with a 'law' or written words on paper that state murder is wrong; it seems a bit pointless but, few really take issue. Okay, I do not want distract away from what your debate topic is, but I do have an issue with placing 'anarchists' into a broad category and making claims such as yours. I have nothing against Capitalism and I would likely be considered 'anarchist'. The way I see it, anyone who is attempting to buy, sell, or trade with others is capitalizing on some opportunity that would end with mutual benefit to all involved; this is 'capitalism'. It does not have much sympathy for those who act as parasites upon others.
