How Can Anarchy Work On A Practical Level?

Discussion in 'Politics' started by pickledpie, Aug 22, 2014.

  1. What anarchist schools of thought do you guys support?

    As I see it. Anarchy will always occur when the people of a civilisation are fed up with their government. They will overthrow the government and eventually a new form of government will take it's place.

    Is anarchy a sustainable ideal? If so, in what form?

    You seem to be confusing anarchy with revolution.

  4. This is a silly question.

    The only reason you would ask this question.is if you assumed a justice system must be run by a "government"

    The only difference is how funds are allocated.

    In a tyranny money is stolen from you for you own good. In a free state you chose where your money goes.

  5. So a privatized justice system? How would that work, exactly? Those with the most money get the most justice?

    They do already, therefore ... nirvana?

  8. Anarchy is a temporary state. A leader always rises.
     
  9. Look to the good old wild west pen. It was all private and way way better than today. The sheriff was hired by town folk not elected like today. Then they answer to their bosses the people who directly payed them the town folk. Now they answer to higher ups. If a sherif wasn't perceived as fare they were not listen to by town people and seen as illegitimate, today no one sees it as fare and we are shot if we stand up. The history of private security is older than state ran enforcement and is still more prevalent today. How many private security firms do you hear about committing crimes compared to state ran police? Even in war! Blackwater the semi private firm everyone seems to hate was found acting wrongly and boom they are kicked from the country. But the us military is found breaking the rules all the time and never get replaced or punished

  10. Anarchy isn't some sort of.. Economic model that can be molded and teased to be sustainable. It's a giant shitstorm of human idealogy and emotion.

    And I agree. You seem to be confusing Revolution and Anarchy

    Also, topics like security in the private market, arbitration courts, anarchy etc, have been discussed ad nauseum, with a new topic being brought up every few weeks, but nothing really gets accomplished (usually).
     
    So I think if people are genuinely interested in something, you can find free material from more modern thinkers like Molyneux (link below), a collection of people at Mises (link below), and others like Rothbard, David Friedman etc, have literally written hundreds of books/articles on the subjects, and can be read at someones leisure.

  12. Anyone who does not understand this is either not interested in truly what anarchy is and except the states definition (keep in mind the states biggest enemy is anarchy) or is mentally lazy and wants to be told and not learn about it themselves. Read some Rothbard he is only the most publised philosopher and economist that ever lived. He explains it fully and shows how it is used in real world circumstances, how it's applied.

  13. "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

  14. The real question is how can a planned society work?

  15. Even the most laissez-faire Austrian school of thought economists would never advocate in favour of Anarchy.
     
  16. And yet they almost all do

  17. Rockwell, Woods, Rothbard, Mises, Murphy, Shiff, I can't think of one that doesn't

    No, they don't. Most of those men are libertarians, not anarchists. 
     
    Even the most neo-liberal would always see the need for government in upholding contract, intellectual property rights, Pigouvian taxation, etc.

    Everyone of those men advocate anarchy openly I can give links. Thomas Woods talks all the time about going from conservative to libertarian to ano-cap. Rockwell always talks about it Rothbard pretty much is the godfather of it. You are mistaken. Mises never fully endorsed it but thought it was better than any alternative. I live on mises.org, it's a ano-cap site clearly
