CRITICISM OF ANARCOCAPITALISTS AND THEIR AUTHORITARIAN FALACIES

A. Private laws, militias, judges, police.

Many (not all) Ancaps, including some Agorists, and Mutualists advocate private companies to act as police, judges and militias and enforce their authority on individuals who are ''supposed'' to hire their own police and judges. These private law firms either have to duke it out or let the market figure out conflict resolution between firms. That is facism, private statism. I call it ebay statism. The highest bidder gets to buy authority over others. Not all ancaps advocate this, I’d say 50%, a substantial figure. Who you trow your money at is your problem until you try to pay to enforce rules over me or others.

B. Ownership of land.

It is illogical for someone to claim ownership of a planet or a moon, right? He dint create it, he just happened to make a claim on it. Likewise, it is illogical and evil to attempt to control land that one does not use or possess. Land possession, advocated by Individualist Anarchists, is moral and logical, not land ownership. Why? If you don’t use/occupy/possess a piece of land then you have no authority to prevent others from doing so. Preventing others from using land you do not use is evil. In Anarcocapitalism, land is ''owned'' by homesteading or subsequent transfer; the claim is that by putting in some labor into a piece of land one somehow owns it. Then they can hire laborers, exploit them and go ''homestead'' another piece of land elsewhere. The problem is that under this model of ’’land ownership’’, land is easily monopolized and is it entirely possible for one individual or corporation to ''own'' all the land: they simply have to purchase ‘’claimed’’ lands. Making other humans rent slaves because all land has been ‘’claimed’’ long ago. In the past we called this feudalism. Today its called private land ownership. A piece of unoccupied land is claimed to be owned by individuals who paid a fee to the local mafia (the state), to other individuals, or whose ancestors ‘’claimed’’ large extensions of land long ago. Under that system every newborn human doesn’t have the right to provide for himself food nor shelter nor become independent because one must pay others for using land. Obviously at a certain point in time all the land in a region has been claimed, even if there are hundreds of thousands of unoccupied/free acres. Whether it is in the city or in the middle of a forest every square meter of land has been claimed or at some point in time will be. Another flaw with the ''homesteading'' model is that no one can own the planet; no one put in labor and created the land they claim to own. If you add value by working on the land, you can own whatever you produced from it like mining or farming or others, but it doesn’t not give you a ‘’right’’ to the land or planet itself. Hoarding land is evil. As tridimensional land mammals we require a 3D space just to exist. It is physically impossible for two 3D beings to occupy and use the same volume of space or land; therefore, it’s necessary for individuals to occupy different pieces of land. As a final point all human activities depend upon land, therefore freedom and anarchy is impossible without free access to land.
