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
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"?
private military contractors
who's going to be the competitor when mcdonalds declares open warfare on all the other competitors and annihilates them since they can pay the most
Well then we'd go back to a state, and seeing that this new govt would learn from the mistakes of the old the likelihood is that it would be a better one. By playing the anarchist gambit you would get a state better or equal to the one now
then once everyone is gone they lower the wage
companies are not trustworthy
they will do whatever it takes to get more
and without literally anything holding them back
they will
do anything they want
to get more
Predatory pricing both in theory and practice is stupid for a company because when your losses become too deep you have to resell at a higher price which puts you into trouble from competitors
it's whiped out several companies!
once they're gone you don't have to give a shit about that!
you rule now
