Becoming Free

in anarchy •  7 years ago  (edited)

The way I see it, it does matter. Even the ancaps that prefer to have some type of 'common law' or 'social enforcement' of property rights will build a social construct that will eventually beg for authority to pursue its ends.

If you and I prefer to not be ruled by force, we should strongly suggest these things not be created and deny any authority within them.

(this is one of several reasons i am not a ancap, but do see some flavors as legit and others not)

Ancrap is an oxymoron.

Keep working, stop paying.
Anybody that intentionally destroys the work of another has committed violence against all workers.
At least once under the new paradigm.
Destroying crapitalust property now is liberating it from someone that got it through fraud.

The first step to get there from here is to abolish IncomeTaxes. Once there is no requiement to pay taxes the unforced market will adapt. Maybe one way maybe another I don’t think It’s predictable.

Or, we could keep working, stop paying, then everything is free.

Nothing in life is ever free...

I had a read. Good thinking, different to what I have heard before. Decrease the power of the state by increasing the number of representatives. Diversity, and more choice for the people. I left a longer comment on the actual article.

Notice the keep working part?

Selling our labor for a wage only to buy it back at a loss is silly,...

Yes consumerism is regressive but it’s what makes most humans happy. Beyond survival Keeping up with the Joneses is humanity’s second favorite pastime. I don’t see doing away with all aspects of the US government. Beginning with ending involuntary taxation. Our republic can stilll exist on a voluntary basis with a voluntary but privately funded courts. Pay to play but everyone gets a vote. I’ve read lots of stuff in how ancapistan could work and how ancommiestan could work; but honestly simply ending taxation will force the market to adapt naturally and voluntarily. Like no one could have anticipated or planned. Humanity will always need a civil structure to resolve disputes and keep the peace. Without involuntary taxation as the main moral tenant to live by.

When rule by force comes off the table the paradigm will have shifted.

True words! Thanks.

The political will to take a stand against taxation and just stop paying will never reach the necessary levels that the extortionists cannot persecute.
To end taxation the people will still need to expand congress to increase accountability. Imho, otherwise We will never have enough political support to totally disconnect. Gotta get real accountably oversight to make this big of a change. Imho. Checking out of participation in the system helps no one to change the system.

Making the old obsolete by building the new is the way forward.

Linking to leftist anarchist dribble doesn't make anarcho capitalism disappear. As long as anarcho capitalism doesn't require social constructs, or authority, it is a form of right wing anarchy.

We went over the 'keep working, stop paying' model before. It ended with denying that workers value their time and effort, and they would toil for some metric of 'doing good in the world'.

There was no clear separation of that model from central planning, so there remains as much 'majority consensus' in your previous model as what Rothbard suggests.
