State Socialism and Anarchism

In State Socialism and Anarchism, American individualist anarchist Benjamin Tucker contrasts state-driven socialism with his vision of anarchism based on voluntary cooperation and free markets. He critiques centralized governmental control, arguing that true liberty can only be achieved through a system where individuals engage in free economic exchanges without interference. Tucker advocates for a society where monopolies are dismantled, and workers control the fruits of their labor, positioning anarchism as the logical alternative to both state socialism and capitalist exploitation.
