Wealth inequality

Yeah, all these -isms are born of the same strain of simplistic, purity-minded thinking that if we all got back to the ONE SINGLE THING that's the most important thing evarrrrrrr, then we'd have brought about the utopia.

• Communism denies the value of anything other than collective solidarity
• Capitalism denies the value of anything that can't be bought and sold
• Fascism denies the value of anything other than ethic nation-state identity
• Libertarianism and Anarchism deny the value of anything other than individual decision-making

Thus they achieve strong support among unbalanced people who only care about that one thing, but can't possibly win over everyone, because most people are either more balanced in their valuation of what life has to offer, or believe that different single thing is the most important thing ever. It is a recipe for constant ideological warfare that produces no victors, only carnage.

true but only because individual decision-making can - create collective solidarity, - create value that cant be bought or sold, and - create a nation state,

I don't know any anarchists or libertarians who maintain that position.
Maybe you need to meet some different anarchists or libertarians.
