Talk:Samuel Edward Konkin III

No source available on the quote marked "No comment". While it does sound like something he might say (granting that it's real only for the sake of this point), it would seem to be a criticism of anarcho-capitalism similar to one provided in RW's anarchism, namely the suggestion of replication of the objectionable and coercive apparatuses of the state. Also inconsistent with Chapter 2 of NLM, which only uses the word 'prison' three times in as many consecutive sentences and then only (1) to state that "...no 'institutions of criminal higher learning' like prisons will be around to educate and encourage aggression,' and (2) in the following two sentences, as an aside, noting for the sake of debate that an alternative viewpoint exists on prisons and providing one example of an author and accompanying essay describing said viewpoint. This is made yet more likely by other criticisms of anarcho-capitalism, as when Konkin, elucidating a three-tiered agorist class theory, commented that anarcho-capitalists tend to conflate the first and second types, while "Marxoids and cruder collectivists" conflate all three. Such criticisms of anarcho-capitalism are important in considering agorism due to Konkin's characterization of agorists as " strict Rothbardians, and, I would argue in this case, even more Rothbardian than Rothbard, who still had some of the older confusion in his thinking," over things like voting (which the existing article acknowledges) and private prisons (see link above).

tl;dr Likely fabricated, and likely a quote mine if not fabricated.
