RE: Can Humanity Ever Live in a Voluntarist Society?
Well written. The mistake most people make when discussing freedom, anarchy and no government is that they always say; "So basically you believe no one will be poor in a capitalistic/anarchistic society?!?!?" No..I never said that. I just said it will be better for more people.
@scandinavianlife Usually the "people will be poor or taken advantage of" statement comes as a justification for their rationale that people can't live in an Anarcho-Capitalist society, from my experience. They say that war-mongers will take over, corporations will take over, everything will collapse and a government will inevitably be formed again, etc. It's a blatant hypocrisy when those people are usually the ones saying, "Democracy isn't perfect, but it's the best solution we've got," and still choose to critique AnCap society because it isn't absolutely perfect. Like you said, capitalism is just better for people and has proven to be better throughout history. The only real issues that people have is with corporatism and substituting government services with private ones, which all come from stigma they were taught by public schools, government officials, and their parents.
