Recherchete,
       Is that close to your name? I think anarchism, capitalism and
socialism might be viewed as existing along a line of totalitarianism. As
such none is ever pure. IMHO.
       As such there is a difference between them all. One of the movements
going on in the world today even in countries that are supposedly capitalist
is the degree of freedom the citizen has in buying and getting title to
property. The proponents of that movement are say that the freedom to own
land is mostly a first world phenomenena -- or so I understand. You can look
up Dr. Hernando de Soto of Peru and his book The Mystery of Capital for more
on this.
