Why did the Pirates Republic of Nassau fail?
Did they ever have a chance to succeed?
It was too rad to last

Do you agree that they were within their rights to say "Fuck the king" and set up shop on New Providence?
>>862566
yep

Piracy is theft no matter how you look at it. Someone invested their time developing the software you download and not paying them is akin to theft.

And the king was also within his right to send his troops down there to bitchslap the pirates.

Even if they survive the onslaught, they have an unsustainable leech economy.

It will be a different story, however, if they managed to ally with the peasant and artisan class, aka the sans culottes.
Funny enough, i have actually seen people bring up the republic as an argument to why libertarianism works.
Pirates are like those Brazilians that kill people for 20$ you see in those Liveleak videos.
Imagine what a shitfest a place filled with people like that must be.
>>862566
>What the king builds, pirates can destroy
Fuck yes.
Do you agree?
>>862688
and they would have succeeded too if it weren't or those dastardly Redcoats taking their land back
>>862666
Fair shake of the sauce bottle mate

You think?
How about from an economist point of view?
we'll start with what's being brought in
Tobacco, Rum, Reales and Pounds.
Where's the spending happening?
Wheres the Cargo going?
How will they stave off disease?
There's that shitty TV show produced by Michael Bay that dramatizes it, its called Black Sails. Has some alright battle scenes.

>Has some alright battle scenes
>Charles-Towne was "alright"
Faggot.
Also the Ship to Ship battles are tense as fuck compared to what other pirate shit is out there.

>>866137
