/acg/ - Anarcho-Capitalism General

This is a red board which means that it's strictly for adults (Not Safe For Work content only). If you see any illegal content, please report it.

Thread replies: 83
Thread images: 32

This thread is dedicated to the discussion of anarcho-capitalism, all facets of its implementation, and all other aspects of the ideology.

Anarcho-capitalism is Libertarianism taken to its logical conclusion. It advocates for a nation comprised of individuals + private property, with no central planning or government. It's operation depends on the market to control itself, being fully free and laissez-faire, and the non-aggression principle.

A few common arguments against it:
>muh roads
As it stands now, private companies already build the roads. Problem is they do it on government contracts, using government standards. They take their sweet time because that's how their contracts work, and they have no incentive to innovate and drive costs down. If the "government" factor was removed from the equation, contracts would be awarded via auction, which would encourage quality, innovation, and a hastened schedule, not to mention the lowest possible cost for the best of all three.
As for the actual construction, and usage caveats, it would come down to the property owner. But the invisible hand of the market would also force the owner to offer the service in the way it is needed (whether it be toll or not).

>muh freedoms (/ muh laws)
Good explanation here: >>132443321

This also covers "the state", and partly why communism will never work (in any spinoff).

>minarchism is better
Maybe. It's easier to start with minarchism than ancapism. But power inevitably gets hoarded, and you're right back to square one (see "big government"). Though the two are at-odds, they both look at the same problems. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see which is better (my guess is ancapism, only because of the lack of centralized power).

Some more arguments:

>taxation is the price of participating in society
Not when it's taken from your paycheck without your consent before you get to see a dime. Rent isn't taken out of your paycheck, and is the cost of living on somebody else's property.

>muh child labor
Child labor was a thing when the economy was awful, and families could not afford to feed everyone. Yes, it would be an option in an AnCap society, but it would not be child slavery (violates NAP), and would only be in practice if the child wants or, or the child needs to.

A good point to make, actually. Molestation has serious and permanent psychological effects on the child, which has been scientifically catalogued. So even if the child consents, you are harming the child during a period in mental development where they are functionally incapable of making the proper decisions.

I'm curious, how would this whole system be resolved from the perspective of a moderate Libertarian who still accepts things like taxation?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23DNe0cJhcU

(the system of debt-spending that enriches bankers and is apparently impossible to escape from).


A socialist would argue this is proof that we need heavy tax on people that run these exploitative systems so it can be redistributed back to the people.

A Libertarian would argue, I suppose, that people should stop worrying about what others are doing and focus on finding their own route to joining the wealthy? That's a good individual philosophy to have, but it means you'd either be preaching the acceptance and ignoring of exploitative systems, or alternatively don't consider that this is exploitation but just clever capitalism from banks and people can stop playing the bankers' game when they want.

I generally favour Libertarian principles and am trying to understand Libertarianism and Ancap.

The problem with heavy taxes, is it only works as long as people are willing to pay, or you can keep them where they are. So the socialist also has to implement violence, which leads to its own collapse.

As for the libertarian style, the entire philosophy is egoism. Help yourself, and in the process you help the world. Exploitative systems only stay in place through violence (t. socialism), monopoly (see "Government Interference in a Market"), or willful ignorance (never seen it happen before).

If a bank is being shady as fuck, in an ancap society (or even a libertarian society), you can just find another bank. When enough people do this, it'll go bankrupt, and the entire market is better off.

Vote with your wealth. That's the most powerful weapon in a libertarian society (especially AnCap), because everything you put into the system makes all the difference.

Here's what I genuinely don't understand. If an anarcho-capitalism system depends on the market to "control itself" and a "non-aggression principle" then how are these enforced? What is preventing the advantage of the stronger from controlling the system, either economically or with violence?

Example of what I mean would be a company like Facebook. They stole Snapchat's idea for "stories" and put it on an app they own, Instagram, and within a couple of months already had far more users because they owned the larger established network. A free market is supposed to defeat a monopoly through competition but that is the point of the monopoly, it can stifle competition to the point where it will not be defeated and regulation by the state can limit this.

Additionally what do you do about military power? If the state were abolished how do you prevent whoever controls the greatest amount of military force from establishing a new one?

If a single company can serve an entire market, no company can do better, and every customer is happy, that's fucking amazing! It's also very hard to do, arguably impossible.

However, let's look at your example, Facebook v. Snapchat. If Facebook does a better job, what's the problem? The market regulates itself because people want stuff, and people are willing to provide it. That gives way to competition, which is the reason why you've got a laptop that's as good as it is, and a WiFi connection as fast. If Snapchat wants that market power, they need to do a better job.

As for military, that was touched somewhat in the archived thread, but I'll cover it here:

You run the risk of takeover, regardless of what ideology your country subscribes to. The US could invade a big list of countries tonight, but they don't because some combination of: alliances (with or by association, or they have bigger allies), it doesn't sound like fun right now, it's not economically tenable, there's no point, etc.

In the event someone comes knocking, the ancaps will defend themselves however they are able. If they lose, they can revolt, or adapt. Same thing with any other invaded country.

>education, so people are aware that is in their on best interest to not let people like that get away with what they do.

I think that is the problem though. This whole thing hinges on people being educated and aware enough to know what is in their best interest. It depends on individuals to enforce all these principles. The reality is individuals are flawed and easily convinced of incorrect things and things not in their interest at all. And that persuasion often does not come from the state. The internet is the greatest resource of information and education we've ever had and look how little people take advantage of it and how much they still disagree even when they do
>>
>>132533587 (cont.)
The only way to keep a monopoly in power is to do what I laid out, or have the state prop you up with cash and laws (banks, etc. Think of every bailout the US has ever done, those would've all failed in ancapistan). The latter, obviously, couldn't happen in the ancap world. But that's why it exists today, because of those same regulations you say help. They prevent competition.

Reminder that all these smear attempts by commie, cyrpto-commie, and NatSoc shills of Ayn Rand are borne out of their gut wrenching realization that Objectivism is the greatest threat they have ever encountered which is why they cannot even bear to have it discussed as a philosophy. ALL of the andversaries she descibes in her novels are EXACTLY what /pol/ describes as the sterotypical kike. Kikes exist but Rand is quite literally the most based jew to ever live. I do not exaggerate.
Reminder that AnCapism means well and is certainly preferable to statism but is utterly inferior to Laissez-faire Capitalism. LfCap>AnCap for the same reason Minarchism>Anarchism. Read a little of this lexicon to discover why http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/anarchism.html
Also know that Libertarianism is incomplete Objectivism. Objectivism without the epistemology.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erytcpYpzRk
Objectivism is Nationalist, Capitalist, Individualist, Egoist, Libertarian, Minarchist, and Meritocratic all rolled into one.
Reminder that Cultural Marxists are terrified of Ayn Rand as she represents the American Constution completed. Epistemologically validated, metaphysically defined, and ethically expanded.

/lrg/ is a sad man's attempt to adapt the libertarian mindset to the the NatSoc ego, and in your quest you become just as blinded. Take your Pinochetian aberration back to your containment board.

Don't get me wrong, you can do what you want on your property. But Hoppe's ideas go both ways, and that is why pure Anarcho-Capitalism is superior.

Anarchism is just the absence of government. Anarcho-Capitalism is what happens when you let the people make their own choices. You give them basic rights (Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness), and let them do their own thing.
The market regulates itself without interference, so you will see rapid changes in the quality and availability of goods, because there is freedom for competition to fight it out for consumer trust.

Like I said earlier as well:
"Ancapism is about as altruistic as economics can get, because to succeed, you literally have to improve the lives of all the people around you."

If you have more questions, that's why there's an /acg/ thread specifically (it was here before /lrg/ today, but that's besides the point).
>>
>>132545524
No what you describe is Laissez-faire Capitalism and the separation of state and economics. AnCap necessarily means either no government at all or one in constant flux. And a government in flux with means one that is subjective legally and that only can mean subjective.
Rand Minarchism posulates (and supports)the notion that a government actually -should- have a monoploy in the very few things it is supposed to embody. It must to remain objective in nature. AnarchoCapitalism posists such absurdities as the the "competing governments" notion.

I'm not trying to stir the shit here, but Objectivism is a crypto-jewish cult. I've come to think that Rand's circle of jews was intended to weaken western civilization. She maintains the state while promoting individualism: two contradictory ends. Promoting gentile individualism is ALWAYS a trope of secretive jewish movements. A non-subversive jew like Mises realized that statism works best with collectivism, and he praised fascism.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uHSv1asFvU

Austrian economists and ancaps are different because they're ultimately a product of Carl Menger, a gentile. Mises was a student of Menger's. Rothbard married a shiksa. Hoppe is a gentile. While ancaps also promote individualism, they want to end statism and this is important because statism weakens intrinsic tribal or religious bonds among its citizens.

In short, citizens of a state must be collectivist to avoid subversion, a situation Rand wants to weaken.
Sovereign individuals avoid subversion because the bonds to their tribe aren't weakened by the state.
I feel like Kevin MacDonald could have written a chapter about Ayn Rand.
