Wanna sprite cranberry?
Yes plz
There would be different kind of militias
and yes
different firms would try to top over each other with better protection
You agree that one may cover an entire city
gov has no incentives
At some point though
A militia would be able to cover a city, correct?
if it monopolizes, but as ive stated monopolies are impossible in free markets. Govs create monopolies so that would not happen
a militia from a single firm?
Like yeah
They wouldn’t be able to take military control of a city?
what do you mean by that
Like
A private army big enough that they could take military control of a city?
Would those not exist
there would be different kinds of militias from different kinds of firms. They could get bigger but it all comes down to the consumers choice. There will be those firms who would go bankrupt, but if there is competition there would not be just a single militia
for exmaple
Wait up
Your saying
No private army
Could ever get big enough
i think i understand what youre saying?
To seize **military** control of a city
Youre not saying they would monopolise it youre saying that they could just defend the city?
yes
or are you saying that they could go tyrannical?
Well ya
Pretty much
and just get ahold of the city and no one could defend
That's already the government
Im saying that the 8 ball is a fucking lie
a gov can do that
a gov has the monopoly on force
Yeah but they don’t do it because its not beneficial for them
and since there is no competition and no private militias rising for competition no one could stop them
This whole idea sound good on paper
why would it be beneficial for private firms
