yee

@Angus Ez, we get rid of the state

<:GWsabianPepoHmm:403004578020327445>

then what

you just want anarchy?

Yup

<:really:314778075739062274>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anarchist_communities

here are some places you could find that

I don't think the people in any modern country is going to willingly descend into this

Most of these (if not all) are either communes or the spoils of war-time activites

how do you propose 300 million people live in an anarchist community, a "communist" people, if you will

A better example of an individualist society that I advocate for would be Ireland from to years 600-1600 (ish)

like are you imagining out loud or are you saying that you think this is realistically viable?

because lots of ideologies work just fine in very small or primitive communities

Well everyone will act in accordance to their self-interest, you cannot defy your own will so to speak. Yet, it is in our rational self-interest to cooperate and partner with people to mutual benefit. These societies have existed in the past, and this is the most efficient and moral system we can devise. It is a fact that as societies move towards economic freedom from the state they become more prosperous (Heritage)

This is realistically viable

As all the tasks that the people say that the state "needs to do", can be done by private companies or individuals

anarcho-capitalism

Yes

are you serious

that you want that

Yes, I'm serious

and you think there wouldn't be problems

that are far worse than there are now

Like?

unhinged monopoly

slave labour

every company having a PMC to act in their interest

as some extremes

but how about I tone it back, there could be no small business as the larger companies would crush them, self actualization would be gone

there would be an irrevocable hierarchy of dynastic proportions

right now yeah, there's slave labour in the prisons, now with the capitalist monopoly we get "prison corp" and they just fuckin abduct people at a worse rate

who's going to stop them? "FBI corp"?

some sort of state army

that not longer exists

a militia?

can the local militias stand up to the highly funded and armed PMC that comes and cleans out a rural area and puts shock collars on everyone in order to get them to produce cow meat only for them?

the mcdonalds group came in today, said we work for them now

stole all our guns and burned down a couple houses to make it stick

"Unhinged monopoly" Monopolies are impossible in a free market as a competitor is always ready to jump into the market and offer a service better and cheaper, this happens all the time even now. "Slave labour" Slaves, even though cheap, are a remarkably unproductive and not a very viable business plan. Sure there may be some slaves hidden from view, but atm everyone is a slave to the state anyways. And I'm sure that the market would very quickly discard of companies who's practice they disagree with, like slave owners. Wdym by a "PMC"?
