{{Capitalism sidebar}}

'''Anti-capitalism''' is a [[Social:Political ideology|political ideology]] and [[Social:Political movement|movement]] encompassing a variety of attitudes and ideas that oppose [[Philosophy:Capitalism|capitalism]]. In this sense, anti-capitalists are those who wish to replace capitalism with another type of [[Finance:Economic system|economic system]], such as [[Social:Socialism|socialism]] or [[Social:Communism|communism]].

== History of movements ==
Anti-capitalism was widespread among workers in the {{wipe|United States}} in the 1900s and 1910s, and Colorado was especially known as a center of anti-capitalist labor movements in that era.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Andrews |first=Thomas G. |title=Killing for Coal: America's Deadliest Labor War |publisher=Harvard University Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-674-03101-2 |location=Cambridge |page=6 |}}</ref>

Socialism advocates public or direct worker ownership and administration of the [[Social:Means of production|means of production]] and allocation of resources, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals, with an [[Philosophy:Egalitarianism|egalitarian]] method of compensation.<ref name="SocialismAVeryShortIntroduction">''Newman, Michael''. (2005) ''Socialism: A Very Short Introduction'', Oxford University Press, {{ISBN|0-19-280431-6}}</ref><ref>"Socialism". Oxford English Dictionary.</ref>
# A theory or policy of social organisation which aims at or advocates the ownership and democratic control of the means of production, by workers or the community as a whole, and their administration or distribution in the interests of all.
# Socialists argue for a [[Social:Worker cooperative|worker cooperative]]/community economy, or the [[Social:Commanding heights of the economy|commanding heights of the economy]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/socialism |title=Socialism |date=2008 |website=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]}}</ref> with democratic control by the people over the state, although there have been some undemocratic philosophies. "State" or "worker cooperative" ownership is in fundamental opposition to "private" ownership of [[Social:Means of production|means of production]], which is a defining feature of capitalism. Most socialists argue that capitalism unfairly concentrates power, wealth and profit, among a small segment of society that controls [[Finance:Capital (economics)|capital]] and derives its wealth through [[Finance:Exploitation of labour|exploitation]].

Socialists argue that the accumulation of capital generates waste through externalities that require costly corrective regulatory measures. They also point out that this process generates wasteful industries and practices that exist only to generate sufficient demand for products to be sold at a profit (such as high-pressure advertisement); thereby creating rather than satisfying economic demand.<ref name=WorldSocialism>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/may10/page23.html |title=Let's produce for use, not profit |publisher=socialist standard |date=May 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100716140329/http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/may10/page23.html |archive-date=July 16, 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|author=Fred Magdoff and Michael D.

Socialists argue that capitalism consists of irrational activity, such as the purchasing of commodities only to sell at a later time when their price appreciates, rather than for consumption, even if the commodity cannot be sold at a profit to individuals in need; they argue that ''making money'', or accumulation of capital, does not correspond to the satisfaction of demand.<ref name=WorldSocialism />

Private ownership imposes constraints on planning, leading to inaccessible economic decisions that result in immoral production, unemployment and a tremendous waste of material resources during crisis of [[Finance:Overproduction|overproduction]]. According to socialists, private property in the means of production becomes obsolete when it concentrates into centralized, socialized institutions based on private appropriation of revenue (but based on cooperative work and internal planning in allocation of inputs) until the role of the capitalist becomes redundant.<ref>Engels, Fredrich.

=== Anarchism and libertarian socialism ===
{{main|Social:Anarchism|Philosophy:Libertarian socialism}}
[[File:Portrait Emma Goldman.jpg|thumb|Emma Goldman famously denounced wage slavery by saying: "The only difference is that you are hired slaves instead of block slaves."{{sfn|Goldman|2003|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=0IF7CusxuMcC&pg=PA283 283]}}]]
For the influential German individualist anarchist philosopher [[Biography:Max Stirner|Max Stirner]], "[[Finance:Private property|private property]] is a spook" which "lives by the grace of law" and it "becomes 'mine' only by effect of the law". In other words, private property exists purely "through the protection of the State, through the State's grace." Recognising its need for state protection, Stirner argued that "[i]t need not make any difference to the 'good citizens' who protects them and their principles, whether an absolute King or a constitutional one, a republic, if only they are protected. And what is their principle, whose protector they always 'love'? Not that of labour", rather it is "interest-bearing possession ... labouring capital, therefore ... labour certainly, yet little or none at all of one's own, but labour of capital and of the—subject labourers."<ref>{{cite web|author= Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin |url=http://www.infoshop.org/page/AnarchistFAQSectionG6 |title=G.6 What are the ideas of Max Stirner? in An Anarchist FAQ |publisher=Infoshop.org |access-date=2010-09-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123154932/http://www.infoshop.org/page/AnarchistFAQSectionG6 |archive-date=2010-11-23 }}</ref> French anarchist [[Biography:Pierre-Joseph Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]] opposed government privilege that protects capitalist, banking and land interests, and the accumulation or acquisition of property (and any form of [[Social:Coercion|coercion]] that led to it) which he believed hampers competition and keeps wealth in the hands of the few. The Spanish individualist anarchist Miguel Giménez Igualada saw:<ref>{{cite web |quote=el capitalismo es sólo el efecto del gobierno; desaparecido el gobierno, el capitalismo cae de su pedestal vertiginosamente...Lo que llamamos capitalismo no es otra cosa que el producto del Estado, dentro del cual lo único que se cultiva es la ganancia, bien o mal habida.

"The only demand that property recognizes," she wrote in ''Anarchism and Other Essays'', "is its own gluttonous appetite for greater wealth, because wealth means power; the power to subdue, to crush, to exploit, the power to enslave, to outrage, to degrade."<ref name="Goldman1917p54">Goldman, Emma.

[[Biography:Noam Chomsky|Noam Chomsky]] contends that there is little moral difference between chattel slavery and renting one's self to an owner or "wage slavery". He feels that it is an attack on personal integrity that undermines individual freedom. He holds that workers should own and control their workplace.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people2/Chomsky/chomsky-con2.html |title=Conversation with Noam Chomsky, p. 2 of 5 |publisher=Globetrotter.berkeley.edu |access-date=August 16, 2011 |archive-date=September 19, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190919041544/http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people2/Chomsky/chomsky-con2.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Many libertarian socialists argue that large-scale voluntary associations should manage industrial manufacture, while workers retain rights to the individual products of their labor.<ref>{{cite book|last=Lindemann |first=Albert S. |title=A History of European Socialism |publisher=Yale University Press |date=1983 |pages=160}}</ref> As such, they see a distinction between the concepts of "private property" and "personal possession".

In addition to individualist anarchist [[Biography:Benjamin Tucker|Benjamin Tucker]]'s "big four" monopolies (land, money, tariffs, and patents), Kevin Carson argues that the [[Earth:Sovereign state|state]] has also transferred wealth to the wealthy by subsidizing organizational centralization, in the form of transportation and communication subsidies. He believes that Tucker overlooked this issue due to Tucker's focus on individual market transactions, whereas Carson also focuses on organizational issues. Carson holds that "capitalism, arising as a new class society directly from the old class society of the [[History:Middle Ages|Middle Ages]], was founded on an act of robbery as massive as the earlier [[Social:Feudalism|feudal]] conquest of the land. It has been sustained to the present by continual state intervention to protect its system of privilege without which its survival is unimaginable."<ref name=Richman>Richman, Sheldon, [http://www.amconmag.com/blog/libertarian-left/ Libertarian Left] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110814153531/http://www.amconmag.com/blog/libertarian-left/ |date=2011-08-14 }}, ''The American Conservative'' (March 2011)</ref> Carson coined the pejorative term "vulgar libertarianism", a phrase that describes the use of a free market rhetoric in defense of [[Finance:Corporate capitalism|corporate capitalism]] and [[Social:Economic inequality|economic inequality]]. According to Carson, the term is derived from the phrase "vulgar political economy", which [[Biography:Karl Marx|Karl Marx]] described as an economic order that "deliberately becomes increasingly apologetic and makes strenuous attempts to talk out of existence the ideas which contain the contradictions [existing in economic life]."{{sfn|Marx|1969|p=501}}

=== Marxism ===
{{main|Philosophy:Marxism}}
[[File:Zentralbibliothek Zürich Das Kapital Marx 1867.jpg|thumbnail|''Capital: Critique of Political Economy'', by Karl Marx, is a critical analysis of political economy, meant to reveal the economic laws of the capitalist mode of production.]]

[[Biography:Karl Marx|Karl Marx]] saw capitalism as a historical stage, once progressive but which would eventually stagnate due to internal contradictions and would eventually be followed by socialism. Marx claimed that capitalism was nothing more than a necessary stepping stone for the progression of man, which would then face a political revolution before embracing the [[Social:Classless society|classless society]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wallerstein |first1=Immanuel |title=The Rise and Future Demise of the World Capitalist System: Concepts for Comparative Analysis |journal=Comparative Studies in Society and History |date=September 1974 |volume=16 |issue=4 |pages=387–415 |doi=10.1017/S0010417500007520 |s2cid=73664685}}</ref>

=== Contemporary anti-capitalism ===
Inspired by Marxist thought, the [[Philosophy:Frankfurt School|Frankfurt School]] in Germany was established in 1923, with the purpose of analyzing the superstructure. Marx defined the superstructure as the [[Social:Social stratification|social stratification]] and mores reflecting the economic base of capitalism. Through the 1930s, the Frankfurt School, led by thinkers such as [[Biography:Herbert Marcuse|Herbert Marcuse]] and [[Biography:Max Horkheimer|Max Horkheimer]] created the philosophical movement of [[Philosophy:Critical theory|critical theory]]. Later, Critical theorist [[Biography:Jürgen Habermas|Jürgen Habermas]] noted that the universality of modern worldviews posed a threat to marginalized perspectives outside of western rationality. While Critical Theory emphasized the social issues stemming from capitalism with intention towards liberating humanity, it did not directly offer an alternative economic model. Instead its analysis shifted attention to the reinforcement of existing power dynamics through statecraft and a complicit citizenry. 

In turn, Critical Theory inspired postmodern philosophers such as [[Biography:Michel Foucault|Michel Foucault]] to conceptualize how we form identities through social interaction.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Agger |first1=Ben |title=Critical Theory, Poststructuralism, Postmodernism: Their Sociological Relevance |journal=[[Social:Annual Review of Sociology|Annual Review of Sociology]] |date=1991 |volume=17 |pages=105–131 |doi=10.1146/annurev.so.17.080191.000541 |jstor=2083337}}</ref> During the 1960s and 1970s the global political movement called the [[Social:New Left|New Left]] explored what liberation entailed through social activism on behalf of these identities. Therefore, socialist identifying movements critical of capitalism extended their reach beyond purely economic considerations and became involved in anti-war and civil rights movements. Later this postmodern activism centered around identities regarding ethnicity, gender, orientation, and race would influence more direct anti-capitalist movements.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Farred |first1=Grant |title=Endgame Identity? Mapping the New Left Roots of Identity Politics |journal=New Literary History |date=2000 |volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=627–648 |doi=10.1353/nlh.2000.0045 |jstor=20057628 |s2cid=144650061}}</ref>

New critiques of capitalism also developed in accordance with modern concerns. Anti-globalization and alter-globalization oppose what they view as the sweeping neoliberal and pro-corporate capitalism that spread internationally in the wake of the Soviet Union's fall. They are particularly critical of international financial institutions and regulations such as the IMF, WTO, and free trade agreements. In response they promote the autonomy of sovereign people and the importance of environmental concerns as priorities over international market participation. Notable examples of contemporary anti-globalist movements include Mexico's EZLN. The World Social Forum, began in 2002, is an annual international event dedicated to countering capitalist globalization through networking of attending organizations.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gilbert |first1=Jeremy |title=Anticapitalism and culture: radical theory and popular politics |date=2008 |publisher=Berg |isbn=978-1-84788-451-0 |url=https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-273844 |chapter=Another World Is Possible: The Anti-Capitalist Movement |pages=75–106}}</ref>

According to historian Gary Gerstle, the ideological space for anti-capitalism in the United States shrank significantly with the end of the [[History:Cold War|Cold War]] and the globalization of capitalism, forcing the left to "redefine their radicalism in alternative terms" by heavily focusing on multiculturalism and partisan culture war issues, which "turned out to be those that the capitalist system could more, rather than less, easily manage."{{sfn|Gerstle|2022|p=149}} Late philosopher [[Biography:Mark Fisher|Mark Fisher]] referred to this phenomenon as capitalist realism: "the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it."{{sfn|Fisher|2009|p=2}}
