RE: A practical problem for the Anarchist and New Age Voluntarists (and any other starry-eyed idealist). (featuring @vuyusile as author)
Having a free society doesn't implicate on having no leaders or structured groups it just means that no leader shall be able to initiate force and any leadership should be forced on any individual that doesn't want their leadership, it means that if someone wants to live with their buddies on a socialist community they can, as long as they dont force it over anyone and that everyone is consenting with everything being made on it. You can try to convince them that its a bad idea and tell the reason why it will not work, but you can't force'em not to do it. If a structured central planned society is working better people will tend to want to live in one if the more free are working better people will move to them, you will have a free market of social organization and the less efficient will break and no one will use and the better ones will work better and... you got the idea, this way it will be even quicker to find out what works and progress, and this is only possible with the non agression principle, with no forced state, in a free society
Democratic leaders really produce better group members ? than why private services tend to have more skilled people and better quality and efficiency than govermment services ? Why every attempt of "democratic" central planning always fail ? And why less state always tends to generate better life conditions and quicker progress ? Why the best ideas and inventions were made voluntarly in a completely free manner ? Look at the computer you are using, or your cell phone this complex piece of technology that you probably have no idea of how is working was made voluntarily from people from all around the world there are components that were created in one side of the globe assembled in the other made by different people on different places and it all works together, with no govermment involved.
If you are interested on knowing how to achieve that society and etc i recommend reading this:
https://mises.org/library/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto
and apply cryoticurrencies to this logic. i am thinking on writing a concise text about the matter of practical anarchy and agorism here, you can follow me if you are interested
Feel free to correct my grammar and make any objections, thanks
These are all interesting points that I want to consider and weigh further. It does seem to me that we are sliding too easily into incomparables (if there is such a word) in some of our debates e.g. leadership vs innovation; enforcement vs state compulsion.
There are some brands of survival-of-the-fittest political organisation that are as dehumanising and violent as almost anything even bad states can throw at us.
The thing is that in a free society, there can only be violent and dehumanising organisations if people agree to live on them, and i really doubt this kind of political organization would really survive on a free society, the thing is that on a real free market bad ideas tend to die and only those who serve humanity survive because...people are not really willing to pay and negotiate with anyone that will do them harm, there can be scammers but they should not survive very long if you have an efficient justice system that only a free market can provide
Edit: about the "incomparables" boy you cant imagine the kind of correlations we can make talking about this, and sometimes this correlations DO mean causation
