Anarcho-Mutualism on the 12 Axes

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the first person to call himself an anarchist, wrote in 1840 that 'property is theft', meaning income drawn from ownership without labor, such as rent and interest. He proposed that land and tools belong to those who use them, that goods be exchanged at their labor cost, and that a People's Bank lend at almost zero interest. American individualists such as Josiah Warren and Benjamin Tucker developed similar ideas, and Kevin Carson revived them in the 2000s. Mutualists keep markets and contracts but reject capitalism and the state. That sets them apart from anarcho-communism, which abolishes money and markets, and from anarcho-capitalism, which defends absentee ownership and wage labor. Compared with market socialism, mutualism has no state at all and relies on voluntary federation.
