Communism leaves you with a decreasing standard of living. Every society that has attempted it or some derivative of it ends up in abject poverty. This is a fact, historically validated numerous times.I absolutely disagree that you need to do more harm than good to exist. I dont' "harm" anybody in my daily business dealings. And if you're talking about the environment you can just stop right there, because most of the science behind environmentalism is NOT voluntarily funded (i.e. over 90% state-funded), so if you are going to argue against fascism that is a fantastic place to start.What we have is nothing like communism. A large chunk of the economy is fascist. But what about the "Dark economy" - the cash economy, the black market, and the grey market? They account for about 20% of the total GDP in north america (and god bless them).I'm not sure where you are going with housing costs. That is purely state/fascism at work - the state puts a gun to banks heads (Read the fed report from Kansas Fed released in 2002 - right on their website - threatening class action lawsuits if they didn't drop lending standards like a rock and start lending to minorities and the poor so they could buy real estate), banks complied but knew the risks were immense and shoveled the product off on a plethora of investor groups, all at the behest of the ratings agencies.In the end, housing prices don't fall because you regulate them lower (this creates shortages), they fall because you let the market provide the best housing possible. Whether it be a stick-house, an earthship, a snap-on (they have these in Japan now - pretty cool and really cheap), etc. But that is a natural process, you have to let it play out. You have to let the early entrants taking the most risk earn a buttload of profits to attract competition and capital from less-profitable ventures, which eventually increases supply closer to market equilibrium, and innovation decreases the costs further. The Great Depression, in constant-dollars, saw a massive drop in home-building prices because of innovations in producing building materials. No government, no communitarianism involved.Businesses are not the state. Most of the time they are saddled and hampered from doing what they would like to do, or they exploit loopholes and create special circumstances for themselves. All require a state for this to happen. I do not think you can argue for syndicalism and call yourself an anarchist, because you wipe out property rights essentially, and it would require a MASSIVE force to administrate and enfore. Essentially you would end up with a bunch of hyper-tyrranical regions. Not to mention constant conflict over who gets what, why they get what, etc. IF I have to constantly deploy my capital to retain ownership, you are talking about wasting MASSIVE resources just to retain something. That is insanity.You can't rewire human beings. They are who they are. Culture can shift and influence, but our nature remains constant. This idea is just an attempt to literally rewrite the way mankind functions day to day (by force), and thank god is completely unattainable.
