RE: A practical problem for the Anarchist and New Age Voluntarists (and any other starry-eyed idealist). (featuring @vuyusile as author)
A great system where only the rich can afford not to be raped and there's no chance of it forming a mafia!
The rich are bad, and the poor are good; is a far too common excuse for the need of government.
Why was the government forced to use "tax evasion" as the accusation to bring down the mafia?
Because the mafia has underlings to cover them on matters, since justice has, and needs, burden of proof. However, legalization of non violent criminal acts may create enough competition to destroy larger entities or influence their transition to considering themselves honest men. https://steemit.com/anarchy/@zev/a-practical-solution-for-the-anarchist-and-new-age-voluntarists
Not even remotely close to what I said.
The government was forced to use tax evasion because the mafia were smart about their crimes, getting underlings to do the work (and get caught all the time!) so the bosses could never be proven to have committed a crime. It's funny how our legal system actually wants proof of a crime before sending someone to prison. Do you think that would hold up as an ideal when you could get paid to send someone to prison?
You'r probably not reading me and Nathan Brown's discussion, so I have no idea what your point is. "Government is great because it finds ways to catch the bosses"?
"People would stop reviewing evidence because businesses are allowed to cut deals"?
