As government crumble the best case is free markets allow the more wealthy to fix their own problems. If people don't wait until it gets this bad we could have much nicer things.
Its what annoys me about the Somalian argument against anarchism. A failed state is terrible but the state failing is at least removing a barrier to improvement. I think the US is far from a failed state but many localities are not.
Most arguments against Anarcho-capitalism simply describe the status quo. Sadly, society is no where near ready for the kind of freedom and responsibility we need to have nice things. I believe we still have to learn just how bad monopoly state power is before we can have something better.
Humans are not capable of anarchy.
Humans are selfish greedy lazy and weak as individuals.
In the absence of government the first thing people clamour for is a new government!
If you disbelieve me then please go live somewhere there is no government and see how it goes for you.
But you will not because you are not insane or suicidal, are you?
Libertarians are over entitled hypocrits who benefit from the wealth and security the state provides while bleating and moaning about how bad the government is.
People without government are a mess of bullying and insecurity.
