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

lets say that there are two countries, and one is anarcho capitalist

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

you said that like 10 times

But people are unpredictable

yes

thats why i want to abolish the gov

i sounded like a communist there wtf

Ok

Rn I’m just talking about private armies
