Left-Wing Market Anarchism

Market Anarchism (sometimes mentioned with an additional "left wing" label in front of its name to distinguish it from Anarcho-Capitalism) is a staunchly pro market, generally culturally left leaning ideology.

It believes that the combo of a strict application of natural rights and of Lockean self-ownership and a totally unregulated Austrian economics in a stateless society will "eat the rich", resulting in much more equality and welfare than a state regulated capitalism could offer. He does not like the term "capitalism" as he uses it to refer to a corrupt market where corporate welfare and state subsidies favor big corporation at the expense of fair competition, thus generating inequality. He rather prefers the term "radically freed market".

Although Market Anarchism is strictly Anti-Capitalism, for the reasons said before, there is no actual consensus on the status of property within Market Anarchist circles. Arguments have been made by Georgist,  Lockean   ,  Mutualist ,  neo-Lockean  and  Utilitarian circles, all with different approaches to determining legitimate property claims. These different approaches are solved through deliberation mechanisms like the polycentric law, but in the end there's no unifying consensus on the topic.
