TEXAS ANCAP EXPERIMENT (GONE WRONG)

>The abandoned cop cars sat in Trina Reyes’ yard for eight months. She wanted them gone, but there were no police to come get them. Last September, the police department in Von Ormy — a town of 1,300 people just southwest of San Antonio — lost its accreditation after it failed to meet basic standards. Reyes was mayor at the time, so the three patrol cars, as well as the squad’s police radios and its computers, ended up at her home. It was just another low point in a two-year saga that she now counts as one of the most difficult experiences of her life.
>“This is one of the worst things I’ve ever done,” she said of being mayor. “I’ve never dealt with such angry people. I’m washing my hands of everything. … I’m going to travel. I’m going as far away from Von Ormy as I can.”
>For the last few years, Von Ormy has been in near-constant turmoil over basic issues of governance: what form of municipal government to adopt, whether to tax its residents, and how to pay for services such as sewer, police, firefighters and animal control. Along the way, three City Council members were arrested for allegedly violating the Open Meetings Act, and the volunteer fire department collapsed for lack of funds. Nearly everyone in town has an opinion on who’s to blame. But it’s probably safe to say that the vision of the city’s founder, a libertarian lawyer whose family traces its roots in Von Ormy back six generations, has curdled into something that is part comedy, part tragedy
>“After that, there was a lack of authority, lack of direction and a lack of enthusiasm,” said Michael Suarez, the former animal control worker for the city and a Martinez de Vara supporter. “Everyone started acting like children and nothing got done.”

>>
>>135865738
The problem is that Libertarianism has been swallowed by anarcho-capitalism. Honestly I consider Minarchism to be the most fundamental Libertarianism, with all increases on government power to be derivative of it until at some point you're conservative. Any "Libertarian" claiming the government is illegitimate is just an AnCap in denial. A good Libertarian rather argues why the government should be as small as possible, that is, that preserving individual Liberty is a value unto itself and usually has economic benefits as icing on the cake.

You mail out for the patterns and spend a month sewing it. It's not exzacty wealth generating, nothing is stopping you from playing frounter boy though, plenty of ruail land without services.

No it wouldn't. Hurr communism doesn't work because people are obviously self centered and greedy to a certain degree.

But the complete opposite. Greed and being self centered would create a perfectly fine and moral society with the community looking out for eachother and States that have naturally formed for the last 10000+ years aren't real because muh natural rights.

Naive imo. Ancap is much more realistic because democracy doesn't work, supporting alternatives that render the state obsolete is already happening. So realistically we have a shot at a free society we have no chance in hell at convincing the population to dismantle everything

Btw there has never been such a thing as free enterprise in the Industrial Age, all industy in every country ever has needed government help to get to the level of scale needed to be competitive, a truely free market in a Industrial Age has never exsisted and will never exist
>>
>>135868748
the companies with the most profit and better access to resource can undercut the other ones. If you start up your own business McDonalds can be giving out free burgers until you go out of business since they have a billion shops and you have one
>>
>>135869133
So lets say McDonald's and Wendy's get together and raise the prices of their hamburgers to $10 a piece. Alright, now I have an opportunity to start selling hamburgers at $1 from my front porch. People will buy my hamburgers because the price isn't artificially raised through a monopoly. Wendy's and McDonald's start competing with the street vendors and the price drops to levels consumers desire. Street vendors can't compete and disappear. That's how the business cycle works. In the end the consumer gets what they want.
>>
>>135864142
>libertarianville
This has been discussed several times within libertarian circles, you can't bring a group of people together with libertarianism as the only thing incommon. You need an overarching way of life, a culture. For example I don't belive christians and radical atheists would fare well even thought they were both libertarians..

That is why so many libertarians are getting redpilled on race and culture.
>>
>>135869238
So? If you can't compete then get lost. I want the best quality product at the best price. If a big company does that then so be it.
>>
>>135869293
And you know what happens when you do that?
Customers will come to your shoppe, only to find a billion glass shards from the gunfire, bullet holes everywhere and a business owner who just got an offer he can't refuse, putting the burgers at $10.
>>
>>135869459
I would bring that person into a court of law to sue them for damages to my business.

>>135869238

>>135868748
did you even take economics, you retard? Monopolies form in the first place because of barriers to entry to the market. You can't just "undercut them". You know Intel charges way more for processors than is efficient for society. Why don't you just "undercut" them? Oh right, you have no idea how to make a processor and a processor production facility only costs 10 billion dollars.

>short sighted retard is ANCAP
color me surprised. In the given hypothetical scenario, you'll only get cheap burgers in the short run. Once all the competition has been stamped out the price of burgers goes up forever, dumbass.
>>
>>135870258
If you want a burger and it is cheap and good quality then go on.
I am not a subhuman and I eat normal food.
>The price of burgers goes up forever
Economic illiterate. Supply and demand. Sometimes you make more profit when the price goes down. In a free market if you your price went up someone else would come and make a firm with a cheaper price.
>>
>>135870556
thats only if there are small or no barriers to entry to the market. Monopolies would never form in the burger industry because any retard can start a burger stand and it would be impossible to quash all the competition. Yes you gain a profit when the price goes down, but only if your good is price elastic, which no monopoly good ever is.

If you're actually advocating ANCAP then you're clearly the economic retard here, son. Saying "muh supply and demand" doesn't mean anything.
>>
>>135870119
Making a 100% efficient society is impossible. Intel has to price their processors at a price the market can afford.

>>135870258
Wrong. Other companies will make burgers of a different variety that people prefer.
>>
>>135869611
And then you get shot in the head so you can hear the ocean sing.
I'm talking about mob rule here. Read up on the Prohibition, see what happens when you effectively create a free market for a highly desirable commodity.
>>
>>135870849
Inelastic goods are also price capped at the supply/demand curve because if they raise prices too much people will not be able to afford the required product and society will fail thus dooming the company. It fixes itself.
>>
>>135870849
That's why I wrote the next two lines of text you fucking retard, learn to read and saying "monopoly good" literally doesn't mean anything. I at least had something to back up why I said you're an economic illiterate, tell me why am I.
>>
>>135871047
In a libertarian society there would still be police and courts. Prohibition is a good argument FOR libertarian not against.

Because you're implying monopolies can never form because someone will always undercut you, which is clearly false. Monopolies do form and I guarantee you that you are not the only genius to come up with the idea of "LETS JUST UNDERCUT THEM!". The only thing stopping monopolies is government intervention via anti-trust laws, and monopolies are objectively bad for society. This is why ANCRAP is meme status.

You have such a childish and simple way of thinking. First of all you'd have to be more than just "a rich person", you would have to be one of the richest people alive to fund it yourself AND you would have to have any idea what you're doing (which is basically impossible because the companies that do keep it super-duper secret) AND you would be competing with some of the biggest mega-conglomerates on the entire globe.

Eventually Intel will price their processors at a rate that the market demands. This is the best rate for both Intel and Consumers at large. If Intel charges too much then they won't sell as much product and make less money. This is self correcting you absolute retard.

Even burgers require ranch land for the cows, shipping to get them, electrical power to grind them, flour mills for the grain for the buns, etc etc. to pretend you'd be able to raise enough cows and Brian and have enough labor on your small land holding is retarded, and in this example the burger monopoly would squeeze you out in many different ways.
Burgers were always a bad exaplme though things like cars and steel and pipe it are much better examples because the places you get the ore from are much more limited and easier to monopolize. And then you start getting into advanced goods like microchips/TVs,computers

But to say monopolies wouldn't form without government help is wrong and also disproveable becuase the worst monopolies ever were formed without government help
>>
>>135871272
The argument is that humans are inherently capable of evil, and greed is a great motivation to exercise evil.
Somehow libertarians got it in their head that when a big business raises the price by 500% there won't be pushback from the customer, and that an alternative business will be able to freely undercut the big business without the big business retaliating at all.
Libertarianism is seriously naive.

>>135871277
Irrelevant. The guy with the gun is the guy you're gonna want to listen to. This simple principle is what mobs have used for decades to create their protection rackets with which they fund their background operations (in case of Prohibition, booze) and bribe officials as well as creating a point of supply for the consumer.
>>
>>135871854
Perhaps, except that price would much higher than the actual value and the quality would be shit because it's your only choice anyway.
>>
>>135871854
youre so fucking stupid. Companies charge a price where marginal price = marginal revenue, yes, but that has nothing to do with the argument at hand. We're talking about how competition LOWERS prices and thus is good for consumers. You're talking like monopolies don't even fucking matter or exist when. Guess what, a monopoly has no competition by definition so they end up charging WAY more than is optimal for society thus the average person loses, consumers lose, and you lose. This is the ANCAP society you dream of.

Can't have taxes, or you'd need a gouvernment to organise the money and its collection.
Mob comes in and pays for 90% of the court's expenses.
Now a case comes up where a proud and loyal ancap citizen claims to be blackmailed into the protection racket.
Who's the court gonna listen to, the innocent citizen or the money well?
It would be wrong of them to ignore the citizen, but of they didn't they could easily get in trouble.
It's more likely they convict the innocent citizen, to send a clear message.

You're right in that it doesn't depart from the system. It's making the system worse.

Also

And what if the product is a vital service? Like the railroad monopoly provided by Rockefeller in the early 1900's?

So if we have a monopoly on everything (which is going to happen sooner or later because the big companies can undercut their competitors until they go bankrupt or just take them over) then what is human society reduced to?

Are you gonna say that common folk should just get used to living without basically all modern conveniences? I get it, the things cannot be priced astronomically because then no one would buy it, but the prices would be so high that you could never afford everything that you want. Now you interject and say "It's the same thing in our society right now and the way it's supposed to be" and I agree. But here in our society I can use computers and all other kind of high-tech equipment I need for an affordable price. If AnCap society would require more sacrifices by the consumers and thus a lower standard of life, why should anyone actively strife for it who is not owning a big business?
>>
>>135872553
The alternative is what we live in now, which apparently to you ANCRAP tards is unacceptable for some reason. I'm guessing that's because you're a penniless autist who blames your failures on the government "deciding who wins and who doesn't through regulation" (???)

First of all, you assholes are forgetting that libertarianism is not anarcho-capitalism. The latter is batshit retarded like anything that has "anarcho" in it.

Second, libertarianism can work. But it definitely is not for everyone. Can the people who live under a libertarian society realize the formation of monopolies and work to have them undercut? Depends on the people. If you introduce it to a place like the US where 64% of the population are some monkey people or an 89 IQ place like Turkey, it sure as fuck can not.

What if this is the norm? What if it isn't? What if you're so smart you succeed? What if now you monopolized everything? What if your success came at the cost of everything? What if you don't care about the cost? But, what if it mattered?

Your argument is retarded. Everything you've said can be applied to every form of government. "An-cap doesn't work because of blackmail". If anything the private court, that has competitors would be more incline to serve its citizens, than a government monopoly would. The producers of a good serve its consumers, since they can just stop consuming their product, effectively making the private entities powerless. You cannot stop consuming the goods if you're taxed for it, which removes a large incentive, arguably the largest incentive for a court to rule justly.

The ancap stuff doesn't makes sense on a logical level

Fact is there are commons, there are natural monopolies, there are stupid people. So to manage all these things, we pretty much need to have some kind of municipal tax. The simplest example is a border.

Everyone benefits from the border. Therefore, if any one person commits their own time and money to patching up the border wall, they are bearing a cost, for which everyone is benefiting.

Another example, sidewalks. If you take it upon yourself to maintain the sidewalk, you are bearing a cost for which the whole neighborhood benefits. Therefore, you are a sucker. You are essentially handing everyone else money through your labor. Therefore precisely 0 people will maintain the sidewalks. You need to tax everyone in the vicinity who uses the sidewalks, and commit all their money to the maintenance. This is the only rational way to do it. Whether it's a private or a public organization, this must happen.

The problem with private organizations running everything, is that the people don't really have much of a say over what happens. Also, since a lot of these services are natural monopolies, the private organization will just fuck you over hardcore (no competition, you can charge whatever the hell you want, make as much money as you need). It just works better having a democratic institution managing this. That way the people get some sort of a hand in managing the situation.

>monopolies generated through government regulation and intellectual property are the reason we need government
First off, there would be no room for dirty tactics in a true free market. As soon as you limit your chips to a certain pattern you make, other companies which make motherboards or competing CPUs would be able to quickly adapt and take advantage of the limitations you set on your own product. Without intellectual property laws, the dirties tactics for this industry wouldn't even work.

Paying retailers to increase prices also doesn't work, because the retailers would want at least more than what they would lose by not selling a better product, meaning, Intel would have to pay the retailers every bit of profit they would gain from that deal just to hurt the competition, its unproductive, without even mentioning that I can order products from 3 cities away from me through the internet.

But even assuming in the worst case scenario, you still have a monopoly. A monopoly is not at all the worst thing in the world. A monopoly still has to provide services based on market prices and still suffers from asymmetric competition, meaning, they would still have to lower their costs and increase their quality, and people will still buy less of their products if they slack too much. The croniest forms of capitalism are still better than socialist bullshit.

No one rose up to fill the market need. Ancapistan doesn't work if the capitalists are too lazy or stupid to meet demand.

Thats because they havent been raided by roving gangs of beaners yet because this news just came out.

Give it a couple of weeks and you'll have quite a few people willing to step up.

That article is extremely poorly written, informations are all over the place, nothing is in chronological order. It's plain retarded.

So, how exactly is this a failure of libertarianism? The problem was having a government in the first place, albeit small, it still has the same problems than our current governements currently have, only everything is worse because there are thousands of power hungry politcians fighting with each other instead of 5. What does "democracy" get ever done? How is it any different?

The other problem was to want to keep any form of taxation at all. Government shouldn't exist, taxes shouldn't exist, police shouldn't exist, all public services shouldn't exist. That's what true libertarianism is, people get things done by themselves, if they wish to, and that's it.

The third problem was giving any position of power to women. A woman should NEVER have a say in anything.
