ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Anarcho-Communism seeks to abolish capitalism and its mechanisms, including stock buybacks. Therefore, it would strongly agree with the idea of banning them. However, it's important to note that the agreement is not with the taxation part, but with the banning of stock buybacks.

Neutral

No

While anarcho-communism fundamentally opposes the existence of the state and thus the concept of taxation, this answer does not align with or oppose anarcho-communist principles directly. Anarcho-communists would not support the premise of the question because it operates within a capitalist framework, which they seek to dismantle entirely.

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

The mention of pension funds and mutual funds as beneficiaries of stock buybacks is based on a capitalist understanding of economics, which anarcho-communism seeks to abolish. Anarcho-communists aim for a society where wealth and resources are distributed according to need, not investment returns. Thus, this argument is not applicable to anarcho-communist ideology.

Neutral

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

This answer focuses on a justification within a capitalist framework, arguing against taxation based on the impact on investments. Anarcho-communism rejects the capitalist system altogether, including the stock market and the concept of investments in this form. Therefore, this rationale is irrelevant from an anarcho-communist perspective.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Although this answer suggests a radical approach to dealing with stock buybacks, which might seem closer to anarcho-communist ideals of dismantling capitalist practices, it still operates within the framework of government regulation and control. Anarcho-communism advocates for the abolition of the state and its mechanisms of control, including bans imposed by a government. Therefore, while the intent to limit capitalist practices aligns somewhat with anarcho-communist goals, the means through which it is achieved (government intervention) does not.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarcho-communism advocates for the abolition of the state, money, and private property, not for the taxation of financial transactions. The ideology seeks to replace capitalist structures with a society based on voluntary cooperation and the distribution of goods according to need. Therefore, the concept of government taxation, including on stock buybacks, is fundamentally opposed to anarcho-communist principles.
