You have 10(Ten) minutes from reading this OP to give me Reasonable arguement on why Ancarcho-capitalism and/or the Non Agression Principle(NAP) doesn't work.

Private companies.
If you wanted you could also pave your own roads.
And are the roads we drive on right now really so amazing that a private corporation, without theft money couldn't do any better?
Grayson Bailey
Do you mean work in the sense that it benefits everyone as current things stand, or that "it works, as long as you're not already poor and don't fuck it up"?
So then, being that I'm not super familiar with ancap beyond rudimentary memes, how are the already impoverished supposed to thrive? Join a bigger collective?

Not possible. America is uninvadable. Even if the could successfully gain a foothold, they couldnt possibly subjugate all of us -we would 'red dawn' them back out of the country.

No tax, little to no inflation(the Specifics of this are beyond my understanding) to begin with, so in general everyone will be richer to begin with.Hierarchy isn't banned or anything, There's possibility of Charity and fraternal societies to assist with paying fees. Lastly it is mostly up to the individual to make their own earnings, Ancap works under Equality of opportunity
Leo Harris
>they couldnt possibly subjugate all of us no? They would just take all the parts with the oil natural resources and control all the main ports, you are split into many retarded factions all vying for control Burger King is fighting over Newark with Mcdonalds Russia pays Mcdonalds and gives them S-300's China supplies Burger King there are Commie factions and insurgents everywhere there would probably be parts that are stable but they have no logistics are cut off from all the military bases and are basically white boomers who will die off the second the powerlines are cut
Joshua Myers
And if they don't own land? Would there be free, available land in the states without having to move? Sounds like incoming lot fees. Are there serfs or slave castes in ancap world? Again I'm not very familiar with the concept.

Because projecting good behaviour to a principle or document or constitution or bill of rights doesn't mean humans will act accordingly. Look at America.
Also, capitalism is anarchism. Anarcho-capitalism is simply a statement from adherents that they want no responsibility to the safety or happiness of other humans. It's hedonistic and narcissistic.
Also, you can't get a bunch of brain-dead weed stoners to do anything profound for society.
In principle, I agree with the NAP.

TLDR -it is impossible to subjugate a large group of people who believe in the NAP. Period.

It's not even fucking close. We actually have examples we'd like to imitate and situations we'd like to revert to, and when we talk about something not being Capitalism we explain why.
Ask a socialist to explain why Venezuela is not socialist.

All it would do is shake the box for a generation. Society will inexorably crystallize back into a new power order and tomorrow’s children will be spawned into the same random hierarchy that they are now. It’s a dead end loop.

Because two voluntary transactions could deny nessasary resourses of a 3rd party, thus violating the non agression principle. The GOPs principle of non domination ensures equal access to finite resources by limiting exclusion of non participant parties. If they ( the gop) would stick too it.

Why it won't work? Who oversees it, who are the trust busters? Ultimately a group would rise in a fashion to protect and administer justice, promising the same to anybody who joined, and after so many times they would become the top dogs. This is what brought us to the current state of politics, every country is just that, a monopoly on punishment.
Gabriel Taylor
>thus violating the non agression principle.
yeah -No. Thats not how it works. Nobody owes anything to anyone. It is not 'agression' to -not- do business with another.
Thinking always goes -before- writing...
Aiden Lewis
A neutral third-party is necessary to enforce willful agreements between two parties. Relying on someone taking revenge for a NAP violation boils down to a purely subjective form of justice.
Xavier Adams
Any kind of anarchism is complete brainlet tier for the sole reason that people are naturally drawn into groups they feel comfortable in. For example, Muslims will be naturally drawn towards other Muslims and will develop rules and regulations based around their community. If they collectively decide to throw gays of buildings than their religion will take priority over my anarchist right to take dick up my ass. And of course every one else will do the same. Nogs will be drawn to nogs, Conservatives towards other Conservatives, etc. Eventually there will just be a bunch of small governments all over the country.
Jonathan Bailey

Nothing you said is correct.
There wold be no monopolies without the state to protect them. How many attempts have been made recently, to compete with the big tech and media platforms? WHat happened to them? What role di the government play?
No government, means more competition in the market = no monopolies
Alexander Thomas
>people would have the "freedom" to be immoral and degenerate
See, freedom is nice and all but people love to trade some sort of freedom for security. Not everyone, some more than others, but everyone in today's society trades some of their freedom away.
Do you have freedom to be degenerate in Anarcho Capitalism, well if you have land and you live by yourself, sure. But most people would renounce to owning land and living innawoods for security reasons. Most people would renounce to being degenerate in exchange of living among people who are not degenerate. Most people would renounce their freedom to be immoral in exchange for all the advantages of belonging to a society that values morals.
Anarcho Capitalism is about giving people every freedom they can have, and then it's up to you to decide how much you're willing to give away.
We understand that the Western values put us at the top of the world, that attracted immigration. Now imagine a scenario where people pay to live there where laws are optimal for society development. Where will most money go towards, given the clear illustration we have thanks to current migration patterns? To child-sex infested shitholes? Or to advanced and highly moral societies? Why is Texas growing so much if people love degeneracy?

That doesn't cover subterfuge during the execution of a contract, nor can modern camera footage be taken at face value. Minarchies can facilitate a neutral judicial process, but an anarchy cannot.
Ayden Anderson
Unless persons A and B own the resources -how could they possibly have any control over how and to whom, they are distributed?
Unless persons A and B own -all- of said resources (which is impossible) what is to stop persons D, E F, G, H, I etc. from doing business with person C?
Says the guy who thinks that anarchy means no hierarchy...
The definition of anarchy predates fagkunin and Crapotsky...as such it can only mean what it mean at the time was coined
Fuck I hate communists.
Evan Stewart
Nobody understands anarchy as a lack of hierarchy. Nobody who understands anarchy, that is.
Anarchy means no archon, from wikipedia:
>In the early literary period of ancient Greece the chief magistrates of various Greek city states were called Archon
Do you see the difference between a hierarchical relationship Potter-apprentice, teacher-student, team captain-team player
And then the one between Archon - normal citizen?
It's all about whether the relationship is voluntary or not. Anarchy is not about eliminating schools or orchestras.
>Sauce?
Migration patterns. Most people want to live in countries that are safe.
>And more importantly why would an AnCap society be safe?
Because whoever achieves safety in their private property would be able to get a lot of money by leasing part of their property to others.

If it was a workable system it would have been tried and would have succeeded. It's the same argument i use against Matriarchal Monarchies. They don't exist because every society that tries them dies or is converted to a better system.
Evan Foster
because the average person is a cunt, and their morality only extends to "what's good is good for me". They will follow the non-aggression principle by lip service only until the point that they can achieve greater benefit by not doing so in the short term.
Secondly, people are not logical creatures following their own rational self-interest. People are emotional creatures who use logic to justify their current emotional state even if that current emotional state leads to long-term destruction.
Finally, even if they were logical creatures, the average person usually does not have enough accurate information at hand in order to make a logical decision in their self-interest. A lot of time people just fucking wing it.

Anarchy largely already exists -in that, the number one requirement is that everyone respect the rights of everyone else. That said -with billions of people each engaging in voluntary interactions every day, then there are tens of trillions of peaceful interactions each day.
Remove the state from the equation and with it the drug war and taxation and instantly you get a drop in crime and an increase in wealth.
Were pretty much there, now. If we could just take that last step or two...
Jayden Rivera
Infact, one step further, socialism is just man attempting to abolish nature. Once nature is accepted as is, and ensuring people's survival within it becomes the goal, everyone arrives at something that is effectively nationalism, even if they pretend otherwise.
Adam Bell
First, stop with the fucking reddit spacing. An example is difficult to offer since the bulk of "white collar" crimes are context-dependent acts. You can't formulate a way to exploit something without that something to assess for ways to exploit. It's like asking someone "how do I hack a computer?" Camera footage can be corrupted or doctored when it's convenient for some, and as for private arbitration, it's a half-baked alternative to a public court system rife with potential for corruption.
David Lewis
There was a time without the state, everywhere, all over the world. Without fail, people create states. We know because there are no stateless areas. So we know it's been tried and we know it doesn't work.
Tyler Morris
the few guys who own the biggest aquifers will own the world. by the time you put alternatives like desalination plants, other sources of water, etc. these guys will already buy out all the infrastructure and have enough resources to actively hamper anyone they deem a threat. behind them, you'll have other guys who own less critical but also vital resources. eventually they'll form a cartel where they'll put out general rules of doing business in their area of influence, people will be charged a modest fee just for living/working/doing business under their auspices. to ensure their own safety as well as enforcement of their general rules, part of the funds acquired via these fees, would be used to operate a corporate division defending the overall organization from internal and external competitors. further branches and services might also be added if need be.

So then reference it? Oh wait -you cant -because this is an assumption, which is to say, that you dont actually 'know' that its been tried...

Noah Watson
>A decentralized militia would allow each person's unique ability to flourish, allocating their abilities best suiting their capacities. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA
Chase Foster
Well, you're dumb. Look it's either a) the state has existed as long as people have in which case the state is fundamental to the human condition. or b) the state was created out of a stateless condition universally, because people can not exist without a state. Either way, your libertarian pedo dream is crushed.
Both A and B assume that the masses wanted the state in the first place.
If that were the case, then there would be no need for the state to enforce its monopoly on violence...Everyone would just agree to terms and go along with the plan -but thats not what happened , is it?
Ultimately, this is like saying that because rape and slavery have 'always been around' they shouldnt be done away with. Which is a shit argument and makes (you) dumb...
