    The fact is that China has police and prisons and banks. I don’t know for sure but I would guess they even have landlords. That’s not my revolution.

      Of course it isn’t, because you don’t have a revolution. If we did things your way, we’d still be living under feudalism.

            you know I dwelt on this a bit, and the revolution was thrown by the people and it wasn’t thrown for mercantilism. it was just against the feudal system. but what followed was mercantilism. merchants didn’t throw the revolution. I don’t know how you got the conclusion that the French revolution was a mercantilist revolution. I honestly can’t think of a single mercantilist revolution. The closest thing I can imagine are the American revolution and possibly the piracy of the 18th century.

              All of that is besides the point; the point is that none of these revolutions produced the kind of perfect anarchist society you want, and you would oppose them.
