Money commands social power. A state apparatus will inevitably arise in one form or the other (by state I mean the entity through which the capitalist class legislate their interests into existence). "Ethical consumption" is a fucking dream, given that hundreds of companies are involved in the production of a single pencil and it is impossible for the less wealthy to even opt for more expensive ethical products, let alone know which companies are ethical and which aren't and what companies are involved in the production of what commodity.

Hell, welfare is a tool of the capitalist class to suck out money from the middle class to pay the poor so the bourgeoisie can pay their workers less than living wages. If ancaps wanted to eliminate welfare they would be getting rid of this essential tool.

Anarchists have always been opposed to capitalism anyway. Anarcho-capitalism is an anachronism and a retarded one at that.

No because maximizing profit (monetary, societal power, whatever) is the main goal for people of all stripes it has always been. People just believe the state is exempt from this because they just believe shitty age-old rhetoric.
The state is a political tool which people use to control the profit-maximizing of other people, therefore maximizing their own.
The selfishness of people is the most reliable way of making people work together. It has held modern states, non-modern states etc, all the way to hunter gatherer tribes together.
Now because of socio-technologial change people grew out of being hunter gatherers a mere 10000 years ago. What makes you think socio-technological forces (basically manifested human brain power) can't make us abandon the state apparatus, as it has had us abandon many many forms of government before.

-hunting and gathering: as homo sapiens at least 200000 years. Here the supposed capitalist class did and could not exist.
Now are you actually claiming that, even though the socio-technological forces (culture and technology) can change human societies this radically, we are stuck with the "capitalist class" forever barring the possibility of a communist utopia?

Or by your argument what prevents that "A state apparatus will inevitably arise in one form or the other" in your proposed communist utopia?

The state apparatus (concentration of power and a monopoly of jurisdiction, violence and courts) is precisely the way companies can prevent healthy competition in the marketplace.
By having much greater leverage (lobbying) than the small businessmen, they push laws which stop small businesses from competing in a legally level market.
See pic related. Also consider for just a second why the "big business" does not lobby for small government if it would benefit them.. While it is true that some laws stop big businesses from fucking people over more than they do, mostly they are content with fucking with the competition through even more draconian legislature.

Gee I dunno, the people and their guards both inside and outside maybe.
But on a more serious note, why would you do that? to extort the people inside maybe? All you would create is a massive backlash of action.
The better course of action would be to negotiate a deal with the people inside that you would use your wall to defend them, if people agreed you would not only gain some money without a potentially violent backlash but a customer base and trust.
But even this ridiculous scenario is only valid if people would actually need walls outside their towns etc.
So there, co-operation is actually more profitable for everyone on a simple economic basis of risk-management. The state handicaps this principle since it warps markets for most things using violence as it's MO.

The only bad monopoly are the state-enforced ones. Monopolies that arise in a free market do so because they were the most efficient at consumer satisfaction.

Of course there are people who make them, but it's few people who make them. So it wouldn't take an army to expel them, that's my point.
And the making of a product that can kill you needs to have inspectors making sure the lift is made properly, so by not allowing the safety inspection of the lift making process he is going against the NAP. So in this case, filming private property wouldn't be against the NAP.

Small businesses can employ their own. Or at least protect what's theirs by their own hand, so there would be a whole lot to intimidate for a single company.
If they use violence though, they have to raise wages for their thugs to compensate for increased risk of wounding or dying. This leads to economic inefficiency which drives the competitiveness to the ground.

If the Ancap society were to wish to remain being ancap, it would need a form of collective action to repeal communists. The business owners would also have to repeal worker unions that wish to seize the means of production since communists would brainwash the population through the media or any other means. In effect, in practice, it would look indistinguishable from a fascist/free market state+weed somewhere. Not to mention religious zealots like ISIS would try to destroy it as well, and they will invade like they are doing now in Europe. "Muh freedome of movement" and then you're invaded by muslims.

In economics lingo, goods that are excludable, rival, and have no significant externalities.

In more common terms, goods that cannot be produced or distributed privately. They Inherently have some social properties.

It's no longer as simple as supply and demand. Because these goods now involve different consumers who have different utilities and might lie about their true values, yet must make purchases collectively.

>800 years ago people in this country started so called 'waterschappen' to make sure we didn't drown.. Those are the oldest governmental institutions of our country. I doubt the free market would have fixed it, or will fix it. It's better to have no profit margins involved in not drowning.
If people in sufficient numbers deem such action sufficiently important to pay for it's existence, they will. If however they won't they are willing to risk not taking such such an action, they won't.
What do you see as the problem here?

>It doesn't though. To a local degree, maybe.. But if you want to drive from Amsterdam to Helsinki, it's probably nice that there are some state-made arrangements like bridges, roads and maybe a ferry or two.
Of course people will prefer to fund something they need, right? Or are we in disagreement over human nature or something?
If there is enough need to such a service in the marketplace (potential paying customers), there's nothing stopping people from establishing solutions which answer to these needs..

Shit, I just defined private goods, not public goods!

Public goods are the opposite of what I said. Goods that are nonexcludable, or nonrival, or do have significant externalities.

Sorry. What I said are private goods. Opposite of public.

It's not a problem.. I'm just saying that typically if there is incentive to solve some kind of collective problem, in our case not drowning, that eventually that tends to lead to a sort of government being formed.. And governments don't have black and yellow flags.

>If there is enough need to such a service in the marketplace (potential paying customers), there's nothing stopping people from establishing solutions which answer to these needs..

And for many things, those solutions typically take the form of some kind of government..

This enterpreneur had the insight to see in the market that there was a demand for a road like this, so he did it. I think that 'not drowning' is a much more urgent collective problem.

>>79559553

Roads are not what I would particularly call a public good. They have no externalities, are very rival, and are pretty much excludable.

>>79559096
This is disingenuous. A Scandinavian's idea of the State pretty much already is a Libertarian's idea of a properly voluntary communal project.

>>79559774
Roads are rival, consume public land and are only semi excludable.

Transportation is the bedrock of modern society you dipshit. And they wouldnt happen in a completely free market society. There's no way to enforce any tolls or make any real cooperatives that can fund them.

Did you forget I'm arguing in favor of the necessity of enforcing public goods, you stupid fuck?

This is all pointless quibbling over a meme topic and how viable toll booths are.

Why don't we stop wasting each other's time and turn our attention to a unambiguous public good, such as security?

>I'm just saying that typically if there is incentive to solve some kind of collective problem
If people living in an area do not consider a problem to be worth their money and attention is it really a problem to them?
Now drowning is certainly a problem and I can't see a possibility of ignoring it if you wish to live in an area with such a risk. Therefore people will pay companies to construct and maintain dams, if they do not wish to do so they wouldn't take the risk of drowning and simply decide to live elsewhere, right?

>And for many things, those solutions typically take the form of some kind of government..
But does it necessitate a government? It might have been so in history but many people of voluntaryist persuasion think that living the information age is very possible without a regional monopolistic entity.
Government officials then forcibly tax people and pay the lowest quality (private) supplier possible and use rest of the money to lobby and subsidize their own businesses or interests in the marketplace. Those objecting will simply be deterred through the monopoly on violence.
This is why it is important to "cut the middle man".

This is something I've been wondering about lately. I definitely see how it would require a strong and healthy monoculture.
But does it have to go as far as to be referred to as fascism? I can see how, in modern world's degeneracy, a somewhat strict code of conduct would be necessary. But do you think would these kinds of actions would actually require a state monopoly?

Enough whining over definitions. Let me just write out a nice concrete example.

Suppose we all live in a community together with no government, and there's a problem with thieves in the area. We can pay money to hire security and fix the problem, and by talking to each other, it's clear that overall, people are willing to pay a total that is greater than the cost of the security. So collectively, it's a good decision.

However, it must be made clear, this is a collective decision only. A public good. There is no option to provide security for only the houses willing to pay. Either security is hired, which deters thieves and protects the entire area, or it isn't, and the area area is unsecured.

So a little bit of math is done, and we figure out how much each person needs to pay. And then you come to me. And I say, I don't care about security, I can defend myself just fine and therefore place no value on hiring more security. Therefore, I shouldn't have to pay for it.

The thing is, you have no idea if I'm telling the truth. I might really think the security is worthless. Or I might be lying and thinking the security is worth the money, but misleading you simply so I don't have to pay. Because remember, as long as it's paid for collectively, I enjoy the benefit whether I personally contributed or not.

So what is your response to that? It's clear, overall, the majority of the community is willing to pay their share of the fee for the security. The security is clearly a collectively good idea. Do you just allow me to not contribute, and enjoy the benefits anyway? Keep in mind, you're letting it be known to everyone they can escape the same payments in the future by doing the same thing.

Honestly, It has to be tried before anyone really knows where Ancap will work and not.

I think it could work, but a small small government is needed. Dishonest hustlers would wreak havoc in a pure Ancap society. I'm thinking a Frank Fontaine, Al Capone, or some other populist criminal preying on the unlucky and stupid. Ancap would also require a highly educated populace.

Thing is that socialism is not voluntary. But I'm not even sure what age and what government you are specifically referring to. Anyway, there have been and is plenty of corruption and misuse of power in the north throughout the centuries. Just like everywhere else.
>Your idea of government is or was our utopia.
Whatever you are referring to with "was", I honestly hope that you don't mean the modern states of scandinavia. They're shit. These "socialist paradises" are teeming with corruption. Thing is the states here handle their corruption way better than in say mediterranean countries and therefore the corruption practiced here pretty much does not show up on international studies. In finland we have a specific word: "virkamieskorruptio" Which roughly translates to corruption of officials. The government's welfare programs are used as schemes to make "dirty" money for a lot of "social workers" for example.

>>79562481

Now I'm not going to deny that crime would still exist in an ancap society; some people interact with others through voluntary transactions, and others use force (criminals).

However, Al Capone is a pretty bad example to use. Prohibition-era gangsters and modern drug cartels have the power they have because of state regulation. Can't think of a better barrier of entry to competition like simple prohibition of the good in question.

Your boss becomes your new president. The cycle starts again.

That and there is only one concern for government: It is the rule of many by the few no matter what you call it. Period.
>>
>>79564049
Good point, but it wasn't Al Capone's rise to power is what i was referring to. It was his staying power. With the all powerful US government, he had to be convicted of tax evasion. His syndicate committed murders, arson, bribery, racketeering, pretty much everything and he was a king of Chicago.

A guy like that who figures out how to rise to power in an Ancap society. With charm, bribery, and the right connections would rule a city or larger. Barbarism is no joke, and I still think a small tiny government is needed.

People want good service, corporations want money. In accordance with competition and supply+demand, both of their needs will be met.
