    Hospitals and doctors are pretty universally part of the National Health Service, it’s not really about money.

    Hospitals and doctors in the UK are all volunteers?

    I’m also 100% in favour of anarchy though so I don’t know if there’s any point in discussing anything further with you.

    Well that’s something we can agree on.

      No, they get paid a standard salary regardless, it’s not like in the US where they get kickbacks for certain drugs or some surgeries are profitable or whatever.

      Anarchism is a really solid, consistent ideology, based on the fact that power corrupts, and therefore the best way to organise society is by dismantling hierarchies of power, and distributing decision-making across the entire society. It’s essentially the ultimate democracy, where everyone works together and looks after eachother. The only real criticism that can be made of it is that it’s “too utopian”, which is a bit of a self-defeating argument if you ask me!

      Anyways, nice to chat to you, take it easy!
