`Local campaigns have indeed stymied many new construction projects. There is a political dimension to this problem because local politicians are more attentive to the needs of older, retired homeowners, who tend to have time to devote to lobbying, while the younger working people who would benefit do not.`

"not in my back yard"

they're using the state to oppress the poor

🤔

Yh

Issue is with the free market utopia

that's a very subjective word

What is to stop corporate organisations resembling a government imposing restrictions?

Yes I am using it in the playful way to refer to Ancapistan

if they did, it would just be a government lol

Yes

but they wouldn't be breaching the NAP

how so?

It could be such that by consentign to necessary service for survival

also, corporations are a construct of the state

the term business would be more accurate

you could agree to the circumstances of the service that expand upon other service

I know this because I *am* a corporation :P

i.e.

If I am going to use a private road I have to pay X 'voluntary rent - not tax I promise but it is kind of' and consent to give away X rights over property

I will then simply not sell my road to any competition that may be more lenient as it provides me a lot of market power

if it's a private road and the owner requires you to pay to use it, then you either pay to use it or use it and violate the NAP

Yes it is compulsion by association

The type of coercion the NAP doesn't address

your argument falls flat on its face, what is the purpose of owning a road

To make profit of those that use the service?

"I'm going to open a really big store, buy a bunch of products to stock it, but shut out the public if they don't pay these ridiculously high prices"

that's not a realistic scenario

Nr

more so I am going to set a nasty but affordable fee

also, everyone knows we'll have helicopters and planes in Ancapistan so this is all largely irrelevant 😉

Lol

We'll also have ai robots to take our jobs ushering in the luxury communist utopia

xD

hey I'm down for that, so long as there's no government to force me to do anything

That we can agree on

automate the shit out of everything <:Ancap_Smiley:538150164800733204>

I don't support the NAP but I reject structural power i.e. governance, coercion based on threat, compulsion based on wealth. I do see issue in power as a concept itself not being addressed by free market prominent and I think this is the main difference between the Natural rights & consequentialist Libertarians that may be okay with capitalism VS the egoist and ammoralist Libertarians that reject capitalism as alienating.

Anyway I'm going to go to sleep so i'll ttyl

I'll leave with this remark from the rational wiki @ThatPreciseBloke 'The right-wing snarl word "cultural Marxism" refers to them, though the present usage has very little to do with anything the Frankfurt School did. '

alright, have a good night!
