How would an AnCap society handle the act of someone assuming ownership over something which had no previous owner? Whoever claims it gets to own it, even if they've never so much as seen it? Do you have to be the one to find it? And what about land? Do you get whatever you can build a fence around? Whatever you set foot on?

And regardless of what system is chosen, how could it be enforces without creating a primitive state and thus bringing an end to the Anarchic state of society?

I think Ancaps do recognize homesteading, so in a seemingly unclaimed patch of land in the woods you were to set yourself up AFAIK they would be okay with it.

However it might not actually be unclaimed and you might get shot by private mercenaries for violating the NAP by squatting on property used for logging.

Sure, in Europe. American libertarianism has always been a distinct tradition that predated the industrial revolution and goes back to the War of Independence, which was fought to get the British government to stop interfering with American mercantile interests. European left libertarianism has almost nothing to do with American libertarianism, which emphasizes the importance of property rights and the right to bear arms in the defense of property claims. Left libertarianism, from what I understand, is a form of socialism, anarchism, or Communism. Libertarianism is not anarcho-capitalism, either, so don't go around equating 'anarchist' movements with libertarian movements. It's highly misleading.

Why do you assume that anarcho-capitalism is pacifistic, or denies the existence and significance of conflict in human interaction? The entire point is that the state uses the force behind law to scare people into accepting goods and services which, on a free market, would not be desired.

The state doesn't have enough money, though. Governments function when they're trillions of dollars in debt because they have the threat of force to sustain them.

Once or twice for hitting my sister. I was a little shit who didn't have the balls to vent on anyone bigger than me. They didn't tolerate it. Now I just don't hit. I understand (as I did) how dumb it is to pick a fight with somebody bigger than you, and how pointless it is to vent through being a bully from firsthand experience. The thing was, they made me think about it. Because they didn't do this for much else, it stood out.

I openly complained about something my nana gave to me in front of her. My dad waited til she was in the car to grab me by the wrist (felt like it could snap) and literally yank me out of her field of view where he told me in hushed tones how much a little shit I was being. I started saying thank you after that one.

I'd been trolled one day, too hard, by some cholo kids(majority hispanic school) and I was griping about it, so I pulled something I don't recall hearing and said "dirty mexicans..." My mom almost swerved out of traffic, and I didn't understand why. But I was confused, the good kind of confused, you know? The kind that makes you think instead of being bitter about shit.

To name a few. Otherwise they were very patient parents. They gave my sister and I a lot room to do shit and be kids until we went a little too far. So I don't think corporal punishment is the issue, in some cases it may be over parenting and not knowing when to turn on the MAD. Cause kids are sensitive to that shit.

It's a bad analogy, then. You should have made that clearer.
In that case, the only reason its creditors don't come to collect on those debts is the fear of what would happen if China demanded all of the money the US owes it. The only reason that money is worth anything is because the US backs it with the threat of force.

You're completely missing the point.
I'm talking about governments' ability to print money and tax people. This separates them from corporations, this and the involuntary nature of state-based association.
Corporations do not tax people, although they could print money if they wanted to. Of course, this money would have to be backed by something that has market value if it's going to be taken seriously.
My point was that governments use the threat of force and legally enforced regulation of markets in ways that corporations do not and cannot. They do not because governments do these things and maintain their monopolies by threat of force; they cannot because a free market would not allow a corporation behaving like a government to sustain itself.

Except that they COULD do it in an AnCap society because there would be no higher power stopping them from hiring a bunch of mercenaries and using them as a threat of force, unlike in a society that is ruled by a state where the state itself prevents this from happening.
>>
>>1295100
They can't, which is my point.
They might be able to provide currency that has value within the corporation's context, but this would basically just be like tickets at Chuck E. Chesse's or a good-boy-points system. This is different from printing money backed by something that has real market value. It isn't very different from the fiat currency we all use today.
>But we all accept the dollar as a valid form of currency!
Yes, because the government backs its value with the threat of force and the force of law.

How do you have nothing to defend yourself with? Did you surrender to the mercenaries and give up your weapons? Sounds like a voluntary action. You weren't coerced, you decided to abandon your property and let someone else seize it from you. You were just too weak or too cowardly to defend your property.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_scrip

Company scrip is scrip (a substitute for government-issued legal tender or currency) issued by a company to pay its employees. It can only be exchanged in company stores owned by the employers.[1][2][3] In the UK, such truck systems have long been formally outlawed under the Truck Acts.

In the United States, mining and logging camps were typically created, owned and operated by a single company.[4] These locations, some quite remote, were often cash poor;[1][2][3] even in ones that were not, workers paid in scrip had little choice but to purchase goods at a company store, as exchange into currency, if even available, would exhaust some of the value via the exchange fee. With this economic monopoly, the employer could place large markups on goods, making workers dependent on the company, thus enforcing employee "loyalty".[4][5]

I'm just pointing out that governments and corporations function differently. Corporations and individuals use the bourgeois state to defend their property interests; the bourgeois state uses the threat of force to maintain its own legitimacy in the eyes of its subjects and allies; without the bourgeois state, corporations and individuals would not have legal recourse for property defense and would have to use their own force, or hire people to use force for them.

I think his point was, given that there is no monopoly on force, or other hurdles in a business firm's way; it might see it in its best interest to start acting more like it is a state than that it is operating inside one.

Who's to stop them but other "companies"? I think there's a good point in keeping in mind how indistinguishable hierarchies that allocate power( of any sort, like capital and agency) can be from one-another at times.

I've heard about small town governments actually printing their own currency to deal with the recession. They seem to be hit by a similar issue where the only means of official participation in the economy, cash, is in short supply. And so labor that would otherwise hum along fine is in waste because nobody has a means to exchange this. In this case, because it's used in multiple businesses that consent to the exchange (as opposed to a singular company store) it actually works. US dollars are used for buying things out of town, and the local currency pads the currency supply in a closed system inside of it. Shit's really interesting.

It's legal to issue your own currency in the states if you prove you aren't trying to subvert or replace the dollar.

For those who keep suggesting that in an AnCap society, corporations will inevitably hire mercenaries.

Those corporations could either use those mercenaries in a socially accepted manner ie providing security for businesses and people(in which both parties consent), or they could use them to violate property rights and establish a pseudo-state.

In the second scenario, how exactly do the corporations benefit from this use of mercenaries? Training and arming mercenaries is expensive as fuck, and theyre going to demand high salaries because theyre not motivated by nationalism or religious fervor. And then what will they do, kick down doors to rob people? In America, where every other household has a gun? Youre going to have a lot of dead mercenaries if you repeatedly use them to violate property rights. Using violence is inherently unprofitable in the absence of a state.

Oh theyre literally going to kidnap children from their parents and force them to school. Surely no one will forcefully resist this.

Perhaps not necessarily corporations, but people will benefit the same way they benefited from states in the first place. State governments repeatedly and independently formed throughout human history, and replaced all non-states every single time.

You want to talk about America, it's not the corporations that will be the source of the new states. It will be the religious people making their own new theocracies.

You all seem to underestimate how absurdly expensive it is to impose force on an unwilling population. The only circumstances under which that could be profitable for anyone is where the soldiers are ideologically motivated (and would be thus willing to accept far lower pay and be more willing to commit robbery and murder against their fellow countrymen) and where there is some much larger population which is complicit in providing tax revenue to the corporation/ state.

In an AnCap society(or any other for that matter), you could not invest one million dollars into training and equipping mercenaries with the intent of robbing and killing and somehow expect to make any of that money back, let alone get a return on it.

People outside the state do not benefit from military or war. Even if a country were to consistently win wars and take territory, the taxpayers funding this conquest are not getting their money back. It is only those at the top, whose money and lives are not at stake, who benefit.
>>
>>1295615
nearly every state has solved all those problems and there is nothing stopping corporations from behaving the same way with only meme ancap propaganda for the minority of the population who ever believed in it
>>
>>1295719
And yet states still won over and replaced non-states in every single case in history.

mugabe never had any trouble with just a bunch of ak 47s and boys from subsistence farming families

If 100% of the population were militarized hardcore ancaps, maybe, but this is utopian thinking.
>>
>>1295821
>if they were militarized hardcore ancaps

Then how would anything get done if everyone focuses on their own self defense?

What if the more embittered fringes of society take to poking at the weaker points, as they do now?
>>
>>1295765
No society yet has rejected the use of force and aggression. You could just as easily say that it is good to own slaves, because societies which owned slaves always replaced societies which didnt.

Simply lacking a state is not sufficient for an AnCap society to sustain itself. There must be a rejection of force and aggression such that any "replacement state" would not be able to take root.

You are correct that most states use their resources in "socially acceptable" ways, at least towards the tax-base which funds them. This applies to most democratic western countries, where abuse of state power within state territory is relatively rare and where most people are safe and comfortable on a day to day basis.

The biggest problem with the state in western democracies isnt abusing power so much as it is simply wasting resources. The US military consumes between a third to a half of the federal budget and yet has not succesfully prosecuted a war since 1945. It actually had a far better track record before the military-industrial complex took hold.

Despite this, the United States could be fully defensible without any federal military at all. There are hundreds of millions of privately owned firearms, in addition to the heavily armed national guards of each state.

The previously mentioned US military, the most well funded and well equipped military to have ever existed, could not subdue a country with a population size equivalent to that of California.

It's not a given, it's something that everyone from Marxists to libertarians agrees on.
>Isn't rent somewhat similar to taxes?
Why would it be? You sign a lease when you rent something. If you don't sign that lease, you don't have to pay rent. If you don't pay your government taxes, your government uses force against you. I was born an American citizen, which means that if I don't pay taxes I'll go to jail. I wasn't born a renter. I doubt you were, either.
>the bourgeois state is ideally a tool for people to protect their own sovereignty without having to turn to arms and violence.
Soverieignty =/= property. The state is sovereign, not the people it rules over. The people have property; the state is in place to protect property.

I don't get why there's so much hate against the NAP in this thread.

Everyone in this threat almost to a certainty adheres to some kind of deontological principle.

Like, not having sex with girls under the age of 18 or some other rule, which is completely arbitrary, yet you follow it anyway.

Do you not know how analogies work?
What do you mean, it's not absurdly difficult to gain control over the American population? Of course it is. That population is under one government because that government is too powerful to be overthrown.
>>
>>1296451
lel, jokes aside though, the point is that I can maybe agree that the NAP is ridiculously impractical across the board, but I think you should be a little more sanguine on the topic of morality in general.

Whether or not you agree with certain moral laws or not, you almost certainly have one, unless you're a psychopath that is.
>>
My question is, if you don't like the country you are in and how it is anti-free market? Why not just move out? That's how capitalism works, it gives you choices on what you are able to do, if you don't like Wal-Mart, just shop somewhere else!

>NAP is ridiculously impractical across the board,

Not even that, it's actually totally irrelevant. Property can't be owned legitimately as Libbies insist because every piece of land on Earth has been taken from someone by force or trickery at some point, breaking the supposed "chain of legitimacy" represented by a title deed and making a nonsense of the whole NAP by making the "owners" claim to property rights as invalid as the State's claim.
>>
>>1296501
I've never heard anyone arguing that NAP has some sort of "chain of legitimacy" homesteading part implicit in it.

I'm pretty sure you're conflating the moral principle that aggressive force is immoral, and how humans acquire property by self-ownership and homesteading.
>>
>>1296517
The problem is though that because
>because every piece of land on Earth has been taken from someone by force or trickery at some point
it is impossible to know who owns what legitimately.
