causes recessions
yes
how would we have more control of the gov if there is no gov
lol
I mean what’s to stop say 10,000 people from banding together and looting a small town
private firms that have a hold of private militias?
where on earth did that come from?
same thing that stops them now
We just say the gov causes monopolies
sid
No he was suggesting anarcho capitalism earlier
why do you have the role american if you said youre from the uk like 10 mins ago
what
yes
were talking about anarcho capitalism here?
cause I leveld up

Whats to stop these companies from charging ludicrously high prices for protection?
Competition
and they won't get sales
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
