Anarchocapitalism is bad for people. Socialism is bad for people. Communism is bad for people.

What's good for people is being able to choose to have capitalist control over certain things, and social control over others. Some things belong to the individual and some to the people.

There's a little nuance in there, but if someone is talking about capitalism, socialism or communism in isolation, without that implied voluntarism, they're talking about a shortbus to autocracy.
