But actually small scale mutualism is perfectly compatible with Anarcho Capitalism: 1) A worker owning his capital goods is just a worker and a capitalist at the same time 2) Like goods, things like friendship, community ect. have a subjective value. Rothbard describes how the same product from person A or person B can be different goods with different values if the relationship with them is different (A is a stranger, B a friend). If an exchange with the same 'labor value' takes place its still based on subjective value. It just means that the value of community is worth more than the lost value caused by the wrong valuation method (labor theory of value) for the one that is disadvantage by the deal.

"1) A worker owning his capital goods is just a worker and a capitalist at the same time" Ironically this is what makes capitalism impossible under anarchy. Everyone being their "own boss" then there will be no bosses at all...
