you don't have to pay your taxes, but if you don't pay your taxes you will be treated as an outsider, you don't get the benefits and protection from the brutal warlord that already took over the land

2019-12-14 16:28:13 UTC  

wanting to be in a society without following its rules and paying its taxes is like wanting to have the services of a company without paying

2019-12-14 16:28:49 UTC  

the free trade or lack thereof within that society is valid in ancap because they are the internal affairs of a corporation

2019-12-14 16:28:50 UTC  

So in other words you agree I just don't believe the outcome we share in your view.

2019-12-14 16:29:08 UTC  

I agree ancap is gay as hell lol

2019-12-14 16:29:33 UTC  

But I think we basically already live in that end-state gay as hell ancap world

2019-12-14 16:29:41 UTC  

you say in an ancap world brutes will take over

2019-12-14 16:29:45 UTC  

I think brutes already did take over

2019-12-14 16:29:54 UTC  

But it's not anarcho nor capitalist at all imo

2019-12-14 16:29:57 UTC  

it's just hell

2019-12-14 16:30:17 UTC  

yeah, reality does not pan out as ancaps would like

2019-12-14 16:30:29 UTC  

the markets are far from free

2019-12-14 16:30:49 UTC  

ironically socialism makes this worse

2019-12-14 16:31:24 UTC  

and anything closely related to anarchism hasn't been experienced in 1000's of years.

2019-12-14 16:31:46 UTC  

thats the point though, the societies that the brutes set up are not ancap internally

2019-12-14 16:32:02 UTC  

I'm not saying brutes will take over ancap society and have free markets

2019-12-14 16:32:24 UTC  

I'm saying if you do have complete anarchy the brutes will take over and you won't have free markets in their society

2019-12-14 16:32:51 UTC  

we live in the inevitable endgame of ancap where the markets are not free in any meaningful way because brutes took over

2019-12-14 16:35:45 UTC  

What I'm saying is that, without a proper understanding of man, mankind, political systems, and general economics and the missing factor in all of these systems that breeds the offspring of it's own demise will be time and time again rehashed and relived.
Simply man is not a anarchistic being nor is he a complete free spirit. Man needs guidance and role models and he also needs some space to breath and exist to degree's within propriety and moderation.

2019-12-14 16:35:56 UTC  

lets say you have a society that is baseline ancap, but brutes take over basically everything, but they do so within ancap guidelines in that they get the consent of the people they govern and people are free to opt out. you can opt out of the brute's society but like you said you can only have what you are willing to enforce with violence. so lets say you opt out of the US, but you want to keep your home, you will have to enforce it with violence when the brute, (the US) comes knocking at your door with guns.

2019-12-14 16:36:16 UTC  

It's basically AC M8

2019-12-14 16:39:07 UTC  

@Boniface Funny thing is almost none of what you wrote would happen in such a manner.

2019-12-14 16:41:52 UTC  

I'm describing real life. If you just stop paying taxes, try to annex a part of the US, they will try to fuck you up. Am I wrong?

2019-12-14 16:41:58 UTC  

baseline ancap society= never
"but brutes take over basically everything, but they do so within ancap guidelines" = Maybe by sheer coincidence but never intentional.
"you can opt out of the brute's society" and the berlin wall was meant to keep outsiders from coming in ;)
"so lets say you opt out of the US, but you want to keep your home" as long as you pay your taxes america is for sale.

2019-12-14 16:42:59 UTC  

annex yes, not pay taxes well there are ways to get around that one.

2019-12-14 16:43:47 UTC  

pay taxes, respect laws, don't annex land, etc

2019-12-14 16:44:11 UTC  

and the berlin wall was just part of physical reality

2019-12-14 16:44:16 UTC  

If you want to live on your own

2019-12-14 16:44:20 UTC  

be a one man island

2019-12-14 16:44:29 UTC  

but you live in the middle of the soviet union

2019-12-14 16:44:36 UTC  

you're on your own man

2019-12-14 16:45:11 UTC  

You're tresspassing on the government's territory

2019-12-14 16:45:29 UTC  

its their land, you better gtfo and do it on your own if you are a one man island

2019-12-14 16:45:56 UTC  

if as a single individual you don't have the power to conquer and secure land well tough shit

2019-12-14 16:46:08 UTC  

Yes this is the end of both extremes in reality.

2019-12-14 16:46:13 UTC  

because both end here

2019-12-14 16:46:53 UTC  

but the truth is "anarcho capitalism" is never and will never be the road taken.

2019-12-14 16:47:19 UTC  

it's just completely antithetical to human beings.

2019-12-14 16:47:39 UTC  

not in the way anarcho capitalists hope it will be taken

2019-12-14 16:47:48 UTC  

exactly
