I guess I'm not very up to speed with ancap developments. They have?

Nice idea but it was unfair on the native americans

Lol, ok, I get it now. Sorry, Trolly, guess I was being a bit slow!

Speaking of 9yr olds(sorry--future potential self owners ) Are the lifetime contracts still valid if we 'guide' their hands before the chloroform wears off? I assume no do-gooders will be bothering me, but ya never know these days. Regulations lol you dumb statists. Also, how many pieces of bubblegum equal a dollar in paradise? This mine's not going to dig itself.

I hope the neighbors don't mind when I build an airstrip and start importing 3rd world gangsters and set them loose to get a taste of the free market. It's kind of a charity thing.

lol Hong Kong was not some super limited govt libertopia.

No, it doesn't? The state doesn't require Democrats and Republicans to agree to decide who owns a piece of land.

And once again, nearly 200 states in the world have significantly smaller militaries than us. You're flailing.

Don't worry bro, everyone has their own "security company" on retainer for just such an eventuality, ldo.

As chez observed, we in Britain did do that one time, and, after a certain amount of roundabout, it produced the United States of America. Opinions differ as to how well that experiment came off.

My late friend Barbara Ellington OBE was the senior Foreign Office official in charge of the British handover of Hong Kong, and I assure you that this description is not correct. Although Hong Kong remains a problem for anti-colonialists, since it was clearly better off under late-twentieth-century British colonial rule than it's ever going to be under Communist rule from Beijing.

And if you overlook the whole way HongKong was 'handed over' to the English lol Just like paradise.

Yes. It didn't work.

They should have tried building a road first.

If his society involves any type of small state that requires taxation to run then he is initiating force himself and its a contradiction.

They don't control their credibility, the market does. They might not care about their rep, but other firms and courts will. Are you going to buy every judge, court and arbitrator too?


10's of dozens! Holy ****! Yeah they would get killed.

we are proposing one, you know the post I made that everyone ducked about the State being evil? And challenging all of you to defend them? Yeah we only care about rolling that **** back. The free market is not a myth, it is tried and true.



So too much freedom ends up looking like prison? That is quite a combo of indoctrination and fear mongering, the cathedral would be proud.

Every man for himself? Do you even know how the economy functions?

You just quoted me saying "no bad people won't disappear" and then go on to say the bolded. Calm down.

Lets try to simplify where we agree and disagree.

I think we both agree that the free market produces a lot of good things that people want and need. Well I want to apply that system to defense and law.

You guys think going lol but the mafia, i'll just pay off every security firm and judge. You will be at war, a bloody, expensive, unprofitable war. With an armed populace that greatly out numbers you.

I was only referring to their gov't wrt to their economy. I wasn't clear.

I was making a crack about the 2 party system geez

Hey how's that public security working out in CHAZ? CHOP? You know, the one the residents are forced to pay for.

Yeah I meant wrt to the economy, nothing else. I wasn't clear about it.

Seasteading huh? ah ok. Libertarianism debunked!

Only Democrats and Republicans can build private roads remember? Construction 101 dude get with it.

There are such things as markets but when you look to them as the cure for all the ills of mankind you're bound for a let down.

I suspect lots of people can build roads, not just party affiliated Americans. Libertarians seem to be ones that cannot.

All the best.

I'm not claiming to have a cure all, just the best option imo.

But a quick history lesson will show that many of the things you're proposing (gold backed currency, decentralized banking, company run security forces....etc) have already been tried and the current systems were adopted because they weren't as good in the past as you imagine they'll be in the future.

[ ] games are dead

Keep failing at defending the State and continuing to demonstrate you have no principles. All of you ducked my post on wether the State was evil or not and you will continue to because you have nothing, and doing so would require you to challenge your religion. Binary political drivel only works on fish.

Lol dude, no, everybody is just tired of trying to explain to a child that Santa isn't real.

Does your solution include any type of small state with taxation and laws or does it include no such thing?

lol, we've been through several points that you eventually just conceded by responding with jokes (or ignored entirely) and now you're all like "yeah you all got NOTHIN" as if we'd just forget.

You've still yet to explain from whence original property rights are derived in a libertarian system. I've seen other libertarians tackle this (I didn't agree with their answers but at least they could try), you're just not even that educated about your own ideology
