The early USA was minarchist, which is basically one step above ancaps.

@Krille P. explain a direct threat to me or my way of life that doesn’t involve violence?

Change of values around you and implicit violence that will only happen when you're old and too weak to act

The spread of communism, degeneracy, the destruction of culture, etc.

So what you’re saying is, the biggest threat to anarcho-capitalist society is people deciding not to be anarcho-capitalist?

The biggest threats to anarcho-capitalism are that egoism and in-group preference exist

But ancap is a theory based in egoism, making it pointless anyway

You didn't ask about that, I have alredy explained the biggest treath to an an-cap "society" (which would be nothing more than a bunch of local warlords with private militias waring for total dominance)

What makes you think that?

also one at a time, let’s be respectful of each other’s discussion and make sure everything is addressed.

ancaps act as if everyone in their society wanted to play 1000D chess to find out everything about everyone and even then be unable to play beneath the law

i don’t know who you’ve been talking to, but i just advocate non-aggression.

How about being natural and rallying behind a tribal leader that will take care of your village and make it grow and prosper?

if you’d like to object to something i actually believe in, be my guest.

Ancap isn't really true anarchism, since corporations effectively replace the conventional state

oh no

it’s retarded

Get a better name <:lol:521377935672737792>

get better ideas libtard

Water is a really good name, mr. spook

Because if you abolish police, courts, etc. the capitalists will found their own police forces, etc. They will then procced to wage war in a bid to control resources, this is common sense. I have never ever read a minarc/ancap philosopher deal with this problem other than in the likes of "freemarket will surely fix it"

Wars are massively expensive, and you’re assuming they’ve got enough soldiers willing to fight and die for someone else’s personal gain.

I find it unlikely that it would be profitable for anyone to put that much of a target on their back.

In general, those who violate the rights of others forfeit their own.

Fighting a war in an ancap society is like gambling, but obviously they would use genetically modified child slave soldiers

Because the genetically modified children agree to this, and forfeit their rights by initiating violence sure.

ok this is epic

although, that brings in statutory discussion and such.

It will not be war since that requires some sort of institutions (is a form of institution really), more like ooga-booga raids. Also the "war" part isn't the most problematic. How would people living in a geographical area where a protection company that uses illegal methods like extortion, kidnaping, etc. deal with this problem? Go to the police? Oh right, we abolished those and replaced them with the people causing the strife

Water stop defending ancap, you're making yourself look worse

Assuming this protection company is the only organized group in the entire area, individuals have the right to defend themselves from that type of action.

It's not in their interest to resist

Sure it is, why wouldn’t it be?

if someone is stealing from you, you stop em’.

Because death is the maximum bad trade for an individual

would you not shoot a home invader?

Not when they outnumber you and have you surrounded

*One man exits with shotgun, then the company comes with armoured cars and machine guns* so the only thing that protects them is the good-will of the dominant company? That will surely work

Congratulations, you’ve figured out how gangs work.

Do you want a medal?

So ancap is mafia city
