Anarcho-Capitalism, good idea or bad?

No taxes, no gun control. Property rights are Paramount. Stupid people might die. But is it a good idea?

I think it could lead to corporate feudalism so I'm hesitant in giving it my whole hearted endorsement although I'm sure I'd have more fun in an AnCap world.

Well, move to Somalia or to Pakistan's border provinces to Afghanistan or to other lawless areas. Then you can find out first hand what it would be to live in such a world.

It's been tried before. It's called pre-civilisation.

I would develop into corporate feiudalis. If the only role of government is to protect property rights, it would be inevitable.

@Burnley123 in an AnCap world, there would be no Government at all. Property rights would be protected by consensus or your ability to fight for them.

@AynRand Then it would definitely be corporate feudalism because nobody else with have the power to fight apart from big corporations.

The said corporations would be the only people passing laws and the only power structure at all. In reality they would probably form their own government to regulate disputes anyway.

Believe me when I say this would happen. Capitalism seeks profit and has a historic tendency to monopolise. The only push back against that has come from state regulations or wars destroying capital.

Ancaps are not anarchists. I have never understood why right libertarians somehow believe that the power of employers is somehow more humane than the power of governments.

It is a nice ideology when you are under twenty. For adults, it is a nicer name for sociopathy. The same goes for communism.

I can't see any benefits, the most uneducated, sterile, unintelligent people with the biggest guns would be left, most likey all the women would be dead. And contrary to popular belief men cannot conceive up the butt! Nor have the ability create a new human without a female.
