competition

and no one would buy t hem

other companies would take advantage of the situation

and sell at lower prices

and boom demand

If they are big enough to actually protect large groups of people effectively, competition can be squashed in areas

And would they not be able to forcibly take property from people?

Nope

no that would be a monopoly what youre talking about. And monopolies are impossible in free markets as ive stated. And they wouldn't. That argument could be appliked to the gov

The gov can foprcibly take property from peopel

right now

they already do

use force

taxation

But if they weren’t big enough to go tyrannical, then there is no way they could stop a decent sized group of people from banding together and looting a city

No?

Private police exists

Not too sure about anarcho capitalism

not one myself

What? IF who wasnt big enough? And yes the could go tyrannical but what would be the point of that first of all. And the second thing, as i've stated private firms, different private firms would go against these people. If you're stating that it is impossible for, lets say a high number of firms who have a high number of people working for them as militias, how is it possible for a normal military? It is more of less the same thing however those firms have high incentives to innovate and keepo the costs low since competition, the only difference is that since competition would exist, a single firm would not get as organized as the gov

and monopolise force

thats the whole point of anarcho capitalism

they wouldnt get tyrannical since they wouldnt be a monopoly

and yeah private police exists but theyre never gonna get as popular

for now

since theres gov

Or how about a scenario where a large army takes over an area and security companies aren’t able to combat it

Or how about a scenario where a large army takes over an area and government military isn't able to combat it

Thats a civil war

They happen

But they would be much rarer

why

why would they be rare and those wouldnt

Because when you have much smaller companies, they aren’t able to combat groups like that as well

how

since they have more incentives

Because the companies are weaker than a large centralized army

profits, competition, innovation etc

no how are they weaker

those have more incentives

and
