0 sats \ 2 replies \ @didiplaywell 12 Sep \ on: The false fantasy of anarchy – PlebOne ideasfromtheedge
Anarchy isn't a false fantasy. That a state is the only scheme that can provide services is the false fantasy. Anarchy doesn't mean "no safety for anyone", it doesn't even mean "safety only for some", that's what statists fail to understand. Under an anarchist society safety can be provided just as any other service. It's as simple as that. The fact some people fail to see something as blatantly simple and self-evident as that is beyond my comprehension.
The idea is people are💩..lol ... So I can have security as a service, but does that include a small militia? Can I fund such a thing, even with my neighbors chipping in? Who is managing the safety as a service? How much power would they wield? How do we prevent them from gaining control?
Safety from an individual, or even a few individuals is manageable. But I see a lot of fighting in their future in general, due to people being 💩 as stated above.

Those are the most solid arguments I have ever heard on why the state being in sole control of national security is the apex optimum of an ill fated strategy. It's all of what you just said but scaled to the absolute maximum possible plus having sole right to it by law. It's an extreme application of all the weaknesses you listed to such an extent it sounds surreal. It should be violently evident and stab people's logic right in the eye how bad of an idea that is, precisely due to all of what you just said, couldn't agree more.
