No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

While the concept of a blind trust is still a form of private property, this answer is the closest to the Anarcho-Communist ideal of eliminating personal financial gain from public service. Therefore, it would be agreed with, but with the caveat that in an ideal Anarcho-Communist society, such a situation would not exist.

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

Preventing insider trading by members of Congress, their friends, and family aligns with anarcho-communist principles of fighting corruption and the concentration of power and wealth. While it does not address the broader goal of dismantling capitalism and the state, it is a step towards reducing the influence of personal and capitalist interests in government decisions.

Strongly agree

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

While anarcho-communism fundamentally opposes the capitalist system and the state, the idea of placing investments in a blind trust minimizes personal gain from insider knowledge, which aligns somewhat with the ideology's emphasis on eliminating personal profit from positions of power. However, it does not fully address the broader opposition to capitalism and state power.

Strongly disagree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

Public reporting of trades in real time does little to address the anarcho-communist critique of the underlying capitalist system and the accumulation of wealth through stock trading. It may increase transparency but does not challenge the fundamental issues of economic inequality and state power that anarcho-communism is concerned with.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarcho-communism, with its roots in the works of Peter Kropotkin and Mikhail Bakunin, fundamentally opposes the capitalist system and the accumulation of private wealth, which stock trading exemplifies. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks would be seen as perpetuating capitalist interests and conflicts of interest, contrary to anarcho-communist principles of communal ownership and equality.
