He is one of the, if not the most important economist of the 20th century

the mises website i sent you has lots of PDF books btw

its stuff im terrible at, thats why i like reading about it. ELI5

read that i linked you

Liberalism in the classical tradition

i guess im less unlikely to call myself lib as i thought

there's so much great literature out there

i like it

Mises was a genius

not just saying that

he was an actual genius

anarchists are terrible people. they want to subject the populace to chaos so they can live without accountability

under their system of choice i would simply dispense with their lifeforce and take all their cigarettes

ancaps came out of classical liberalism, they rejected the social contract and thought that the market could functon more effectively at protecting rights, for me this is a negation of liberty. Liberty has to be the primary factor.

they made some good arguments too

i dont think they are realistic though

and every ancap i have challenged on this subject has negated liberty

freedom must come before all other considerations. one cannot enjoy any luxury at the cost of their freedom

whats the difference between an ancap market and the free market?

or, how does the ancap market protect rights?

private judiciary and police force

military

sounds cyberpunk

you have people like Walter Block

great economist but he is an ancap

wants to privatise everthing
