Okay, they buy them as fetuses . . .

Of course that's just moral and therefore subjective. Which kinda ties in with what I said earlier, if most people don't see a problem with child labour then nothing will happen in that society, I just assume that that won't be the case.And again, apply that argument to current society, if the majority was pro-child-labour, what would stop them from implementing it?
Existing regulations. Whiners who can't see the big picture.
Well the majority presumably aren't; but then if Person D just happens to be someone who doesn't agree with the majority and purchases children to work in his sweatshop then whose to say the majority should interfere in an anarchist society?
I don't think the current regulations against it are the sole reason for the lack of widespread child labour, but then I still think they are a reason. Consider that less than a century ago child labour was commonplace in the Western world. Consider that in developing nations it still is.

Absolutely. If it doesn't work out they can form governments again. In fact, they can just move together with all people that miss governments and exploit each other, while the people who don't want to be robbed and also don't want to rob can have an anarchist society. Since I am anarchist I don't want to force anyone to do anything really, I just don't want to be forced either. It would obviously preferable to live in an anarchist society with people that agree with it fully with me, but it's not a necessity.

If they're all going to work together voluntarily to move society and protect people I don't see how they won't have to share the same views on many many issues.
I don't know where you got the view from that they all have to work together voluntarily. Odd.

If they can't afford it, they can buy it somewhere else.
I was talking about how much people make at a job. But price controls do serve as purpose, to keep the consumer from being gouged.
But let's say your example happens and because they have to pay their employees a decent wage they decide to be greedy and raise their prices, which means less people will buy from them and they have lower profits.
Wouldn't it be better to simply pay your employees a decent wage and settle for a normal profit, instead of being greedy?

Whoever? They can just do it if they want. It's anarchist, there's nothing stopping them from interfering.

Well, to be fair I don't know if child labour laws as they are know are really that good.

And then the people who rebuild governments from the group up come back and crush you 😛

Is your system not about free choice?

That made me think of an interesting question though: in an anarchist society, who runs the justice system?
If you guys are really interested in anarchist theory though you can check out this http://simplyanarchy.com/ it's pretty interesting, imo.
Anyways, this is the first full out debate about Anarchy, I usually just mentioned it on the by, or argued Minarchist points, I am sure I am not giving the best picture with the best examples and analogies.
