We shouldn't Abolish the State
But you said monopolies were bad
They are, And the State can deal with it, However if the State did not interfere in the market at all it would be more difficult for Monopolies to develop
But the state IS a monopoly
At least the Liberal state
If we could reset the economy a Minarchist State would likely work best
the feudal state wasn't
However because the state has already interfered with the economy if this was done now it would only increase the power of monopiles
I feel like ur just reciting talking points and not tackling the issue of the state itself being a monopoly
The State may have a monopoly on violence but that is necessary, I don't like it but i is necessary
Sup Doom, lit name change
sup, antisemite
For example what if someone steals something and refused to give it back, How does the owner of it get it back without calling on the state to inflict violence on the thief?
You could have a decentralized state
with local power structures
"Facebook in Czechia deletes people's posts that mention Tommy Robinson, outrageous say experts" (Google Translate is pretty decent from the quick check I made): https://zpravy.aktualne.cz/domaci/facebook-maze-prispevky-se-jmenem-tommyho-robinsona/r~f17b1a44b50211e989de0cc47ab5f122/
You would still end up with a central power albeit a smaller central power but a central power nonetheless with a monopoly on violence
They didn't have that before the Enlightenment
In order to have any semblance of order the state needs to have the power to inflict violence
you had local lords
and they would be the arbiters of things local
And those local lords had a monopoly on the use of violence in their county
The monopoly of violence is not removed it is just spread to local areas
depends
You are just moving the monopoly around, You are not actually removing it
they may also have had nobles under their control who ALSO had privileges the Lord could not infringe upon
how is it a monopoly if no single body can do everything?
Not to mention you had ecclesiastical Lords
who were also responsible before the Pope
a foreign entity
It is a monopoly in their local area, Its a different type sure, But the result is the same, The government body whether they be many or few having the right to inflict violence
one body might have the right to inflict violence on person a in a given region, but not on person b
So your plan is just to split up the monopoly into local areas?
no, I'm asking you why isn't it your plan is you dislike monopolies and think that competition is a good thing
this clearly encourages competition and is less of a monopoly
(I'm also meming as HARD as I can, if you haven't noticed)
(I tend to do that to lolbertarians)
Monopolies damage the economy, Just look at Fascist Italy for example which is a good example, Mussolini wanted one company to be responsible for one thing which led to their being no innovation since the companies had no competition
Again, regurgitated talking point, not addressing my very serious idea
What is your main idea then?
