RE: Oh, Death
It is precisely because society is large and complex that no central authority can administer anything. Yes, Bob could leave. But people would be free to publicize his actions, and especially in the modern era, he could be brought to public attention. On the other hand, he could move away and start over with a clean slave to lead an honest life.
People do get murdered every day, especially in cities with the strongest police presence and strictest laws. These murders are rarely investigated and solved. Government presents no solution to the problem, and even increases violence through its prohibitions and economic meddling.
Well, I applaud your positive opinion of Bob and the other murderers. I sure don't think that the evil men in the world are going to rehabilitate because a few people call them out on their BS, but I could be wrong.
I'm not arguing for a centralized government, so I'm not sure what your point was, there. I'm thinking more along the lines of local courts, and such. There needs to be some way of removing the predatory element from society, unless you think they'll all disappear when Adam Kokesh abolishes the Federal government.
The problem I see is that every anarchist I run across wants to blame the state for every violent action, but isn't offering any real solutions to the REAL problem of human tendency to violently oppress and otherwise take advantage of one another.
However, I think I'm ready to give anarchy a shot, because I do think the system we have now is totally corrupt. I'm just waiting to hear some solutions, not just wishful thinking.
I enjoyed the conversation, thanks.
