Something you're opposed to as well, I'm sure.

That's why a top-down federal government is all wrong.

The (U.S.) states are nations in their own right, with their own constitutions.

would you agree with abolishing the federal government altogether and just have the states?

The only stipulation is that the US constitution is above it, to protect the individual.

If that were the ultimate decision, I wouldn't be entirely opposed.

nice

There's already a strong secessionist movement within my state.

And if they got the vote across tomorrow, I'd side with them.

if that would happen, and one of the states were allowed to be ancap, then i wouldnt really need anything more

I bet you could convince Montana.

lol right

i have no desire to convert the world, i just want to be left alone really

Most people do.

But assuming that your solution will eliminate all problems as such is by definition utopian.

not at all, there will always be problems

i just think it would be slightly less shitty than government

government is a really low bar

But government would form anyway, you've acknowledged this.

even differentiating between government and state.

Are corporations going to be abolished too?

Lord, I'd hope so.

But I'm not sure how you'd successfully abolish them under An-cap principles.

it would form if people wanted to have one

What's your resume like, native?

Just wondering. General run-down.

why are you looking to hire?

probably not.

lol, i'm a programmer basically. a pretty shitty one.

I may actually take that back...

but anyway... have you ever worked for a fortune 500 company?

nah

Have you ever worked for a corporation that employed over 100 people?

specifically a corporation, with a CEO and a board.

lol do you want me to send my actual resume?

I think I'd do better without your name, and you without mine.

I'm making a point, here. Corporations are far more draconian in their arrangements than a state that specifically guarantees certain freedoms.

except they dont kidnap you and put you in a cell if you violate their policy, they just choose to cancel their business interactions with you

Of course they don't. The State wouldn't allow that.

I mean, mostly.

We can say that, but then there's Scientology...
