actually not really

Technological advancement would matter more

to em

and since theres that profit incentive

Largest & **Most effective**

right i thought you meant effective by their training skills etcv

That too

But technology as well

Anyways

So companies would always be competing to have the largest, most technologically advanced and most effective armies, correct?

largest would not matter

as much

whats the point of having an army of 5 million people who have no training skills and your company being shit technologically

Well you can be both, right?

Large and technologically advanced

they would have to allocate their resources intelligently

yes

you can#

but it would not matter as much

most of them would focus on their technological advancement and their training skiklls

Which brings up the question of nukes

what about it

Could it not quickly turn into a nuclear arms race?

no

how would it turn into that

Improved technology and weapons seems to point to weapons of mass distruction

No?

yes

and

a country with an ancap system would follow NAP-non aggression principle

a nuclear weapon is usually used for attacking something right?

Ya

Yes the whole premise of NAP is that they would follow the rule of self defence, continue in a sec i have to go to the toilet

okay

im back

so

The whole principle of self defence is literally an answer to your question. Do not attack, and only use self defence. A nuke is not a self defence weapon. It is a weapon made for specifically attacking someone. Thus an ancap society would not need that. However, that comes into the question for me at least. I am not for that, the abolishment of the nukes. It is a hard question, but i would not abolish them. The one that is advanced the most should be able to get them.

But another question forms within that

what makse you think that those nuclear bombs won't get into the hands of evil people. And i just direct that question towards the gov. A person who is evil could get elected. AAnd get a hold of nukes Same thing.

Honestly I don’t like them in the hands of anyone
