Unfortunately from this presupposition one then makes the straw-man argument that socialists wish to coercively prevent free markets or voluntary exchange. This is false. Not only are there forms of socialism which are compatible with Free Markets such as Mutualism but even communists wouldn\u2019t try to stop it actively.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mutualism_%28economic_theory%29\">Mutualism: Free Market Socialism on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutualist.org\/\">The most prominent Mutualist stop on the web<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dbzer0.com\/blog\/free-markets-are-libertarian-but-libertarianism-is-not-the-free-markets\">The fallacy of conflating Free Markets with Libertarianism<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Labour Theory of Value<\/h3>\n<p>Libertarian Socialists as a rule tend to support the Labour Theory of Value in some form (although that\u2019s not always the case). Right-Libertarians are trigger happy in accusing them of supporting debunked theories based on a argument from authority (the authority of Boehm Bawerk mainly). But the reason why socialists still support the LTV is because we see it as the most scientific way to describe the capitalist mode of production and because the criticisms brought against it are generally weak.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dbzer0.com\/blog\/objective-and-subjective-value\">An introduction to understand how the LTV can have a realistic basis<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutualist.org\/id70.html\">A synthesis of the LTV with Marginalism by a free market anti-capitalist<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/brendanmcooney#grid\/user\/22F52B38C22D325C\">A youtube playlist with an excellent introduction to LTV concepts for the layman<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why can\u2019t we all just get along?<\/h3>\n<p>A very common point made, especially from those calling themselves \u201cAnarcho-Capitalists\u201d is the request to put aside our differences and work together to topple the state.
