RE: Constitutionalists: 1 + 1 = 3 (Part 1 of 2)
If the statists would actually abide by the Constitution, anarchists could peacefully coexist with them.
If the statists would actually abide by the Constitution, anarchists could peacefully coexist with them.
Peaceful coexistence is impossible with a gang that thinks it has the moral right to forcibly extort everyone else, which is exactly what the taxing clause of the Constitution claimed.
I disagree. It is possible as long as the statists are too weak to impose their lust for power. As long as attempting to actually effect their depredations would obviously result in their ignominious defeat, they're likely to do business as necessary.
Just like tiny, venomless snakes can be trusted around mice.
Valid point. And sort of like arguing whether unicorns would be purple or pink if they existed.
We need watchers. But we also need to keep an eye on watchers. That's why I promote government as a service within anarcho-capitalism (AKA capitalism). I think a government should be like a mall. I allows shops to setup and earn and people to come and shop at ease. The mall charges a fee based on the resources consumed (Which should be how taxes are based on. I support fee and VAT based taxation and oppose taxes based on profits.)
Governments should co-exist with anarchy in the form of city states like HK, Monaco, Singapore etc.
In what way do these city states 'co-exist with anarchy'?
Um, "anarchy" means the ABSENCE of a ruling class. "Government" is a ruling class. By definition, you can't have both.
Think of it like Ethereum, NEO, EOS, Waves, Komodo etc. Private police force wouldn't be as same as government police force. I know many libertarians advocate for private police/security. What I'm saying is privatize the entire governments in the form of city states. Switzerland currently has a very loose and lite version of what I'm trying to describe.
The best example I can think of is Dash DAO. The Decentralized Autonomous Organization has multiple centralized groups such as Dash Core, DashForceNews and also film makers and Sports teams and also individuals who are not a part of any centralized group.
A person may work individually and later decide to join a centralized group or vice versa.
You could also take the crypto projects as examples.There is Cobinhood DEX which run on Ethereum and there is BTS which doesn't run on some other platform.
Truth! I agree
