but... Dreams vs Reality

be sure not to confuse

As I've said numerous times is/ought.

the idea doesn't really seem coherent to me

also, how about this observation: "I swear by my life and my love of it, that I shall never work solely for the sake of another man...."

Ought AnCap be able to function in ideal? Yes. Is humanity able to make it so? As Death in June just said.. doesn't seem to be.

^^^ can this saying be applied to both MEN and WOMEN?

i don't agree with the first part

capitalism is inherently anti-anarchist

or does one have to devout themselves to the family for it to work?

sticky question

Eh, I'll give any ideal a shake.

Ancaps are more unreasonable then commies

?

the only way i could see it making sense is if anarchism was just being used as a synonym for a high level of decentralization

I'd even say, "Ought Communism able to function? Yes. Will it? See history."

capital is easier to steal than slave labor

also easy to trade

thus the point

(History replies: Not just no, but hell no.)

@Death in June the people would have to be more responsoiible as they were more like in the 1800s in america, there would have to be decentralised means of record keeping and contracts and perhaps most importantly of all many services provided by government today would have to have private companies pick up the slack, example, private company for road mantence, private securty companies, private fire departments

Whereas AnCap the historical answer is... .... ... maybe?

read my profile

Rational Man Animal

in the REVERSE order

thus commie = animal

@Laucivol that's cool, atleast you're open minded to it

rational is at the top of the pyramid

So again I just have to take your word and hope companies are benevolent enough not to form monopolies.

hard to stay there when survival is at stake

And my experience of corporations is not so much.

I cannot trust a company to have my best interest at hand.

well, the problem is that a corporation MUST by law place the profit of share holders ABOVE all other concerns

Nor can I trust a sovereignty to have my best interest at hand.

thus if the company can break the law but profit more than the fine....

they are required to break the law

you see the paradox

Also yes I want to have options to skim through as my house is burning to the ground.

(Even GodManAnimalEmperor wants AnCap to make sense, by the by... but we still don't see the result as net positive versus what's before us.)

that is the one flaw with the market
