Anyone here, deep in their heart, an Anarchist?

79. That introduces a discussion on anarchism and specialization.

Most sickness is dealt with by preventative medicine, other ailments that either happen due to a failure of preventative health care, or due to uncontrollable causes, would not necessarily indicate an authoritarian relationship. I like fixing computers. I can fix yours if you needed it, and I would not hold that over you for monetary recompense, because it is a task that you may not be able to do but I would.

Capitalists, however, would find such behavior inherently stupid. Randian's would say that selfishness is better and that indeed I should make you pay me to fix your computer.

So you can imagine people who have acquired the skill of medicine using that skill to help you, as an equal human being, rather than viewing you strictly from a service point of view, and trying to milk as much money from you as possible (we already know a good deal of medical care costs comes from unneeded services).
