>Ancap can't work

This is a picture of Kowloon City, a lawless section of land between Hong Kong and China. At its peak, it was inhabited by more than fifty thousand people. There were no building regulations, no power regulations, no law whatsoever, no taxes and of course no government. It was eventually forcefully cleared out and levelled by the communist government of China, because they did not want the world to know that life without governance can be attained.

>>139267365
Looks like hell on earth desu. But I don't think there are many here who would say ancap can't work. I think it's fairly obvious that society can continue in that state, but might not function optimally.

And to some extent, we want social safety nets and regulations to stop the most powerful from effectively turning it into a plutocracy. And that's the kicker with all anarchist ideologies - they all eventually yield some sort of authority. Whether it's the group that protects the collective, or a group that pulls a hostile takeover, someone is going to be running the show. Unless you have some centralized authority that enforces ancap rules, that's what'll happen.

But you can get pretty close. Then you wind up with something similar to 1910s USA. Which can be great for a few, but harsh for many.

They had to be forced, by government, at gunpoint, to leave.

The monsters who control governments didn't want the world to find out that life without them, is infinitely better, than life with them.

The fact it was a shithole has more to do with the environment and the culture of the people rather than the actual system of anarcho capitalism. If anything, this proves that it can work in even some of the worst scenarios. Just look at how many people managed to live in such a small place. Most of the people who lived there were probably the urban poor. People who would alternatively be on the streets in a statist society.

WRONG, the whites of South Africa are currently developing a comprehensive ancap society, with private emergency response teams simply out of the drive to survive under a government that actively wants them dead and willfully withholds enforcing the law for them.

This is actually the perfect example of how stupid anarcho-anythings are. Kowloon was controlled by gangs, with their own rules and protection rackets. Just because there is nothing that you call a 'state' does not change human behavior. Just because you don't call the people organized to use force in defence of their property a 'police force' doesn't change what they do. Just because you don't call the collections/extortions 'taxes' doesn't change what they are.

I don't get your argument OP.
Even the most hellish city on this planet which is struck by poverty and crime and anarchy is still a populated city with people surviving;
because human life finds a way like cockroaches do in whatever situation.
Having a living populace in a state of despair and anarchy still doesn't make despair and anarchy justified, and that's what Kowloon was as reported and recorded even by plenty of Western most staunch anti-China journalists and activists.
The only difference between people surviving in a sewer and people surviving in Kowloon is that one was a sewer above ground.

>Who built it?
Mostly mainland Chinese illegals fleeing the communist advance. They clustered in Kwoloon, because it was a territorial legal limbo. While Hong Kong was a British concession, Kwoloon was given back to the RoC at the end of WW2, and then acquired by the PRC at the end of the civil war, or something like that, which meant that the Brits couldn't regulate what happened there, because it belonged to the Chinks, and the PRC couldn't get there, because it was in the middle of the Brits territory. So to avoid any conflict, the Brits and the Chinks just ignored what happened there, and so it became a land free of government.

>How did they build it?
Just pilling building on top of building. Literally. There were no plan, no architect, no supervision, no control, no planification in mind. As people arrived to Kwoloon, they just built new apartments on top of others as the ground space was limited for territorial reasons.

>It should have been abandoned, not destroyed and left as a monument to ancap.
It was too unsafe, worse than a favella or other shanty town, and it was making landing difficult for the Kai Tak airport next to it.

The murder/crime rate as actually pretty low because most people were okay with making an example of violent criminals.
Most people also said there was a very tight-knit family/community feeling there.
Sounds cozy as hell, although overcrowding is never good.

Most commieblocks look ugly and not comfy at all. As an artist it's my duty to understand what makes things comfy, and the two essential elements are
1) Lots of objects crowded together in a small space, and
2) Assymetric disorganized
If you see Russian commieblocks usually lack both of those things and end up looking rather depressing

>No law what so ever

Have you actually researched what happened there? A gang took over and demanded tribute (tax) for protection (police).

Buildings were regulated by the resources present and area you wanted, they were fucking tiny basically living in an area the size of a bathroom.

The gang (government) took care of peoples needs and developed the area to increase their income for greater protection money (increasing tax) as it was percentage based.

Basically, with the absence of a government people will naturally form a government. It's more of a necessity than you might think.

Me too anon. These giant brutalism style architecture cities. How interesting. Are we dreaming of the future or an alternate dimension?

Obviously you don't know any drug dealers, they are generally crazy as fuck

Didn't the Triad hold a lot of power in the city tho'? It wasn't governed by the chinese government but it was governed by a crime syndicate, which in itself is a *form* of government. The way I see ancap is kinda impossible because there'll be a form of governing body no matter how small it is. Even the smallest of towns will have a Mayor and maybe a council in it to ensure everything runs smoothly.

It was total chaos, but then the gangs with the biggest guys just started policing. Ain't human nature great?

Libertarianism doesn't say no government though. It has government to prevent what you just described.

I'd take million and one gray scheme to fuck up government which it won't notice, over fucking soldering iron in my ass for not paying more.

Also the government provides consistent taxation plan, not the "30% was yesterday, now you pay 60%"

As an ancap, I'm totally in favor of allowing poor people to live in shitholes like this if they so choose. If you have the choice to economize on housing by living there, you're way better off than if you had no choice.

Replace heroin with oxies, and dank futuristic views with repetitive trees and loans, and you got yourself America.

Mate, you can get this dank view in every former commie country.
Just go in the closest ghetto and live away your ancap dream... well, at least until gipsy junkies kill you for a quarter, but that's the brice of freeduhm.

At least in Kowloon I would have a chance at self-defense/won't pay the taxes to have the gov't provide for gyppies
