RE: To be or not to be....Controlled.
Freedom of Choice and Buying Insurance With the correct incorporation of a realistic, subjective "currency" such as gold or another precious metal, and with the gradual dissolution of government, it is unequivocally feasible for a state of anarchy to exist that has potentially greater opportunity than a state of any form of government. It relies greatly on the principles of economics--namely those of supply and demand and reputation. This would apply to the purchasing of insurance. A wide selection of "insurance" plans provide the same protection from things unpredictable as a government would, if not more. An individual may "subscribe" to particular insurances to protect themselves from what they choose to protect themselves from.
I would not want to live in that world. Freedom of choice must be combined with solidarity and empathy,and as a society,social justice.All individuals rely on cooperation with others,that´s why we organise ourselves in society.
I am an anarchist(not an anarchocapitalist),and this means that I want to organise society from the bottom up,in free collaboration and self governance. In a post scarcity world,because that is what we are heading for,with the growing digitalisation,and progress in robotics and automation. How will people´self ownership and well being be provided for in your anarchocapitalist dream scenario? By insurance companies? Maybe if you are rich you can hire mercenaries?
I myself ,as a poor man from a working class background,what are my chances in your sweet dream scenario?
