Interesting debate. On one hand, a Gang (or a Union like the EU maybe haha) may be bad like you said. But on the other hand, where does Gangism end and Capitalism begin? Where is the line between what might be bad and what might be maybe kind of like good if you know what I mean? Love Batman. I love capitalism. I love competition. I love supply and demand.
I love the pursuit in becoming a bigger Whale of a Tale on Steemit and in life in general.
And some do good in life. But some people do better. That is what life is all about. The struggle inspires the best, not the worse, in people.
Like American Idol for example, so many people tryout but fail. But we keep on trucking. We keep on Choo Choo like an Engine that Could. Yes We Can Said Obama haha.
Bob The Builder agrees.
Well, we could cooperate, eh?
Just like religious training of the young insures that they stay that brand of religion, so too does economic training insure that same result.
Here is a novel from 1887 that lays it out pretty well.
This one lays it out in essays.

If you are only going to learn from inside the box your teachers give you, dont be surprised when you find out that you are a slave of the people that paid that teacher.
Yes, maybe, we can try to cooperate. Thanks for sharing the http://Glutenberg.org website & I read that small book of the man that slept for 113 years to the year 2000. I like the Glutenberg website as they have over 60,000 free eBooks, or something like that, and I wonder if they could have a blockchain or have an app with Steemit or something.
I am looking at Communist Anarchy which you gave me.
I like making government smaller. I like that I can agree with anarchists if we both can work to make abusive government to shrink.
I love local communities. I love being social. I love it when people freely choose to come together to work together and to help each other out because they want to sometimes to help each other out but only if they want and only when they want to and not out of requirements and through taxes or police or too much force or anything like that. I like letting families and individuals choose and letting them be the kings and queens of their kingdoms, their houses, their land, their properties, whatever they buy, whatever they own, to do whatever they want both good and bad with their stuff on their property. More freedoms is better.
Yep, rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
Glad to know you are not afraid of ideas not spoonfed to you by a nanny state.
Theanarchistlibrary.org has more reading than we can ever do in one lifetime.
This is a good one, short, too.

Id like to visit viet nam and talk to the old people.
Im betting very few remember Ho preaching from the books i spread, too.
We get our info from many of the same sources from the early 20th century.
I was in Vietnam for 5 years & people talked about Ho Chi Minh and Vietnamese in Saigon say they don't like Ho Chi Minh, socialism, and they are forced to pay more money when they shop in Hanoi than other local Vietnamese in Hanoi. Many times, Vietnamese have told me that the north and the south Vietnamese are still divided against each other. I was in Hanoi and didn't like it. I felt better in Saigon. I like Russia. I see revolutions happening in Russia now.
Yeah, its the application of the ideas that trips them up.
Communism is a better system, but you cant force it on folks.
They have to choose it because it benefits them better.
Nestor Mahkno is my hero, but he only fought russians, he defended the ukraine from them before the 'revolution'.
I do not like communism because it does not reward me to work harder and harder like capitalism does. If we all get the same in communism, then why work, compete, try?
Itt a matter of switching money for esteem.
If money is the sole evaluator of success then crapitalism is the game, but if the girls are taught to seek productive guys because money no longer enslaves the havenots to the haves, then productive guys will have reasons to contribute.
Also, as long as the current distribution of money exists you dont stand a chance at standing out, but with everybody on a level playing field, you could invent something that makes you a household name and folks with money couldnt steal your idea as easily.
We live in a world of money. Hypothetically, living without it would be great but we do not live in a world like that. We can try to volunteer and do things without money but to what end?
