ancaps will be destroyed by a Warlord who gets a big faction

what differentiates ancaps from minarchists?

ancaps don't want a state

they basically want a capitalist form of communism

capitalist form of communism

No state, everyone fends for themselves

lol

but theres no requirement to be nice and give to others

yea

Basically, You want protection? Hire people as guards

You want production? Hire people to tend to your farms

We must all pursue the agrarian idyll

Can't people organize without the state?

They can, on a small scale

Microsoft seems to be a pretty big scale.

but then you just get a militant warlord who will crush you cuz he's got an army to step on you

take your wealth

The state is required to ensure that the rights of man are not violated

and set himself as king

yae

As much freedom as possible within the limits of a state is preferable to anarchy

protection is the key reason why anarchism cant work

a small degree of collective power is crucial

And if you wanna unite with other Ancaps to "protect" against a warlord,

You have to combine assets and form a military + group to distribute said assets, a governing body, thus breaking the Ancap paradise

Cuz you just formed a government

But when a state centralises it's power to a great extent then it must be cut down to size either by the ballot box or by bloodshed
that is the natural cycle of human liberty

the pendulum cycle

Authority gets corrupt,

Liberty breaks it,

To protect the liberty idea, more strong authority is needed against the "non-liberty"

And in doing so, the liberals become the new authority

i think its only a pendulum because humans are awful at learning collectively and each side thinks going further that way is the answer when OBVIOUSLY its in the middle

Hence, now you have the "liberals" that are authoritarian

Ideally, we would want to reduce the violence in society.

Authority ultimately corrupts no matter it's intention

The perfect society would maximize the amount of consent and minimize violence.

Its a pendulum cuz people are different, and their needs change

Under authority, you want freedom,
Under freedom you want order,
Under order you create Authority

As long as your society doesnt criminalise fentanyl or heroin or any other drug for that matter im fine

No, those must remain illegal and even just thinking about it should get you arrested.

Who is the "You" in that sentence
you assume all people want the same thing

Some are natural tyrants

most want freedom

Natural tyrants can taste my recreational nukes

I think a world without violence is impossible, but a society might be able to function according to principles that do not initiate it.
