This text originally appeared on the anarcho-capitalism talk page, I've transplanted it here and it was removed by a kindly enforcer of wiki policy.

Vision Thing, the Meat Puppet extraordinaire

Sure, you can find all quotes here, under Sources section. As for discrepancies in your sources, I have read page 238 from 'Political Theorists in Context' by Stuart Isaacs twice and I'm not clear how you have concluded that he argues that anarchism and capitalism are incompatible. -- Vision Thing -- 19:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Huh. You have just referred me to a page that was created and maintained by now banned sockpuppet anarcho-capitalism. Even though you and anarcho-capitalism never talked on your discussion pages (other than for you to award him a barnstar, of course), you were clearly a big fan to so quickly notice his ban and transplant his work a single day after. Of course, this wouldn't be the first time you've been suspected of being a sockpuppet of a banned user. Or the second, (come to think of it that time I was the one who accused you!) Or even the third. Or hey, the fourth. (opps, I missed yet another distinct instance in which a different wikipedia editor suspected you of being a sockpuppet, that makes 5) But the good news is that -this time- I finally have enough evidence to totally ignore you as per wikipedia policy. This is due to the simple fact that your edits are overwhelmingly similar to the lame edits by now banned users anarcho-capitalism, Hogeye, and RJII. You might think it is clever that you use a distant proxy to avoid a ban on yet another of your accounts, but a meatpuppet is to be treated the same as a sockpuppet as regards wiki disputes. So the end result is that I'm going to ignore your many attempts to justify your pov pushing on talk pages, and I will revert you whenever I see an edit you make that I even remotely suspect is more of the same behavior on your part. If you don't like it, please make an arbitration case against me, I would LOVE to see your account get more of the attention it deserves.

Thats the good news. The bad news is that unlike you, I'm here to make wikipedia better. So I'm going to respond to your call for a source quote, even if the only reason you made the request was to remove text that doesn't agree with your own POV. The quote you've called into question is "Anarchism was a movement based upon equality and, like communism, it sought a working class revolution to overthrow the state." The quote is on page 240, I suppose the page must have flipped over while I was typing in the citation. Of course, if you'd bothered to read the text rather than searching for evidence to dismiss the citation, you'd have found plenty of other quotes as well, like "In other words, anarchism has at its core a belief in the direct democratic participation of all in the decisions that affect the societies in which they live." on the page before.
