capitalism is technically "money" "ism" basically capitalism is in a way a religious belief in- and false idol worship of capital and/or currency.

capitalism as a system as a whole is simply a slightly better disguised version of "wage slavery" that has been designed from the ground up to be a system that is easily manipulated by those few people at the top who hold more money than everyone else in the world combined.

>The cure to BAD regulation is GOOD regulation, not NO regulation; that just leads to cartels and you're right back where you are now. Regulatory capture fools so many young libertarians into thinking that regulation itself is inherently bad when what you need is regulation to keep the free market free and break up cartels.

Of course the solution is without a doubt NOT anarchy, however:

>The solution to everyone finding loopholes in everything and breaking the rules by getting around all the rules

>is to make more rules

capitalism as a system itself is flawed. currency, money is flawed.

Kant was an idiot who attacked reason and gave rise to the post-modernist bullshit including suing schools for refusing to let a man into a women's changing room to peep.

"Law and freedom without force" is a starry-eyed impossibility which invariably devolves int "Force without freedom and law".

Without enforcement of law you have no law, people will blatantly break it and with no common agency for enforcement they will do it with impunity.

Any individual efforts to enforce the "law" (vigilantism) are by their nature contrary to basic principles of justice and basically further breaches of "law".

ancap is a bullshit ideology based on thoroughly ungrateful ignorance as to just how fundamental government is to the maintenance of commerce, order, and justice.

>Feudalism

You mean the system under which nobles bound people by law and governmental force to keep them from properly applying their labor for better wages?

From a previous thread where this nonsense was spouted...

>And anyone that thinks [Liberty] leads to feudalism is a fucking idiot with no knowledge of history. Serfs were confined to properties, essentially becoming slaves paid a meager wage. And you know what was about to save them? Europe's growing wealth and a shortage in the labor market due to the plague. Market forces were pushing serfs out of these systems and into higher wages. The nobles, who had a good thing going waving their birthright in people's faces, legally mandated their delusions of superiority over the working class by forcing them to work via government coercion.

why are you making all these assumptions and attempting to derail the thread by attacking kant who was only used as an example to outline a better understanding of anarchy when the point is that this has NOTHIGN to do with anarchy?

>>5634

who said anything about feudalism? why are you making assumptions?

>>5647

and who are you? and why are you feeding their nonsense and almsot appearing to act in their defense yet you criticize them?

Did any of you even read any part of the thread in full detail? If you read any of it I'm sure all of your comments would have been completely different. May I ask why you made an effort to post if you were not going to make an effort to read the OP? The only thing I can think of is that you were motivated to derail the threads topic for other reasons, or is that something you didn't want me to know?

Tell me, in an anarchist society, is someone free to destroy freedom? Is slavery and the rule by force and opression allowed? If so, how is this a system of freedom, and if not, what is there to prevent this outcome?

If you want to live in a system of freedom, that is the state of nature, and its only a matter of time before someone with a bigger stick than you comes and steals all your shit.

If you want to live in a system of liberty, that is the Social Contract and a system of small government, where there is something in place to protect freedom from those that wish to destroy it.

They remind me of the first Bolsheviks: "here's this band new system that's 'never been done before' and can't possibly fail. What's the worst that could happen?"

I hope that, when the anarchists revolution comes, at least the people 100 years from now will have examples of how the whole idea is bunk

>is someone free to destroy freedom?

Theoretically no, practically possible

>Is slavery and the rule by force and oppression allowed?

Theoretically no, practically yes.

>If so, how is this a system of freedom, and if not, what is there to prevent this outcome?

An anarchist society is a world without rulers, not a world without rules. There is technically no punishment except feedback from your environment if you decide to destroy someone else's freedom. Likewise, while many anarchists may see it as a violation of their principles, there's technically nothing stopping someone from voluntarily selling themselves into slavery.

Rulers by their very definitions use force and oppression to maintain their positions of power. Anarchy is about a mindset that is inherent in human beings (a moral philosophy so to speak) moreso than it's a political ideal.

Despite all the ranting and raving, the statist would have you believe that somehow, somewhere, the threat of government force is keeping an asshole in check. What said statist fails to realize is you can have all the institutions of government handled privately and voluntarily, and that in the process a counter culture forms that is inherently anti-statist because it works.

We don't have to prove anything though. A parallel system to government is being created right now via peer-to-peer technology and stronger encryption that makes it increasingly harder for the government to interfere in one's private life. Effectively we've created an anarchist society right under the nose of government, and if peer-to-peer illegal trade is anything to go by, it's far cheaper, safer, and superior to the statist alternatives.

I'd suggest all statists do a little reading on Hans-Hermann Hoppe before coming to conclusions about what we support: https://www.lewrockwell.com/author/hans-hermann-hoppe/

>>5712

Getting real sick and tired of that bullshit "hurr never tried durr" response, anon.

We have direct proof of it working effectively on multiple occasions, in multiple forms, sometimes for thousands of years. When most empires are measured in lifespans of 300 years, a thousand is a pretty damned good track record as far as I'm concerned.

>>5714

The problem you appear to gloss over is that anarchy will always become a state or centralized institution. Always. Forever. I just want to imprint this on you because you seem to have some weirdly trusting views on humanity at large.

All you can really do is try to lessen the damage by having smaller institutions that would ultimately attempt to thwart the larger ones. The "old" American-style government system worked wonders. How do you think they became the big super-power they are today? It had little to do with a government budget, at least at first.

All you seem to care about is modern-day systems. Your little ebin meme picture tells the whole story. Modern-day systems are all corrupt in one way or another. To think that simply getting rid of them is better is a dream best left to children with little understanding of history and the actual machinations behind it all.

Sorry, since you have no government and therefore no court system and police to compel the school to serve you, the school has taken your ancap bucks and told you to fuck off.

If you attempt to recover the money, the school's well-armed "defense force" will slaughter you and your family.

>via peer-to-peer technology and stronger encryption

what does this have to do with anarchism? and you realize without government there would be no internet? Only small internetworks, nothing like the internet. You need a to secure a connection path from your location to the outside world. Good lucking doing that in an anarchist society.


4f447f No.5727

>>5723

Yes, because those models are 'totally unsustainable. It's the threat of your strong centralized authority that never even bothers to look into that school's actions that keeps them in line. How could I have ever forgot the state cock sucking ritual before I can do anything of value? It's almost as if people were never able to privately go to school or learn outside state curriculum!

If It wanted to talk to retards I would've gone over to /pol/.

>>5718

>Makes a few blanket statements

>Mot even good blanket statements because there are legitimate examples in history showing he's wrong

>Claims superiority over fake examples

Let me imprint this on you because your entire ideas are flawed. People don't need to listen to a handful of gangsters and thugs in order to play nice, and there are documented examples of this being the case. If anything, the burden of proof isbon government to prove its necesity when people are able to do things privately just fine.

>>5725

Why do you dumbasses always, without a shadow of a doubt, believe infrastructure magically vanishes or deteriorates? Just because thete isn't some man in a suit stealing your money doesn't mean everything goes to shit. When you realize people get along just fine before you throw governments into the equation, we can possibly have this conversation.

Peer-to-peer technology is largely much harder or nearly untraceable. It's microcapitalism that ignores all the regulations that government likes to force on business. It's pretty damn cool stuff, too. Take bitcoin for example. It's a peer-to-peer service with a value that has more worth than our US dollar via its strong encryption. The government virtually can't track it unless you're an idiot, it's completely anonymous unless you don't want it to be, and it's been used in online trade since I was in my teens. There are even bitcoin atms beginning to pop up around the world. It also happens ti be an anarchist invention for parallel systems.

According to all three of you, Silk Road (and those sites that followed) should have been unstable because no gubment. Instead it saved the skin of thousands of people who would have had to have bought shitty drugs off the streets. Like it or not, anarchist solutions work.

If it doesn't vanish or deteriorate, people will charge you a fortune to not cut the cables (or block/jam the signal the wireless connection) linking you to the outside world. If you don't near the border, you are fucked, if live near the border you are fucked too because foreigners will fuck you on regular basis.

As for bitcoin, all transactions are logged, which is fine when done anonymously until you try to cash them (sell for fiat) or use them for something that can be linked to you.
