it almost seems like if you let people keep the fruits of their labor

they are gonna aim to be the best 😉

Found this article to be interesting and if it's true could have huge ramifications on culture and politics. https://www.wired.com/story/the-world-might-actually-run-out-of-people/

In a way, it IS the default state.

Free market its the default market

But, in a way, the use of violence is also the default to get what you want for some people, which is where the state comes in.

That is one of the few legitimate uses of the state.

thats what a true free market gives 😉

Yes.

if you can't defend your own propertaaah, you lose it to someone stronger

Precisely.

ANCAP 4 LAIFFE!!! (gets shot 5 minutes later)

@mystex That shit its wrong

@Strufa which part?

If I had to choose between this and Ancapistan, I'd go with the Ancaps.

Everything

I am not an ancap, and I still say that.

people in china were caught adding melamine to baby formula to fake the protien levels of them after watering them down to the point they had no nutrional value left

It's easier to create a state when you have too little than get rid of the state when you have too much.

@Strufa sources that prove that?

If Ancapistan is a failure, we can always bring some of the state back. That's easy.

the first thing it objetcs to

ancap is living in mad max times though

yeah, we're not advocating for a utopia, i admit ancapistan will have many difficult challenges, but it only needs to outperform our current failure of a system, and that's a really low bar

Overpopulation

That is a myth

venezuela looks like mad max to me

ancapistan is gonna be beaten by a warlord 😉

@Strufa yeah that kinda goes into that

if that thing open with a myth the rest its pure shit

I'm more partial to agorists than ancaps.

Yes, because there is no systematic prevention of the initiation of force. @Misomania

theres a lot of literal mad max countries right now

@Strufa read the article irst

are you really advocating for Anarchocapitalism?

What the fuck?

Ancapistan, more like Adamsmithistan, amirite fellow compatriots?

@Strufa it's talking about how it is a myth and that they didn't factor newer data. we actually could be facing a falling globla population

Lmao

lol

Only those ancaps can participate in a free market exchange who are able to compensate out of their own for the initiation of force.

i'm gonna use that line
