ORIGINAL: pahunkboy You guys are fucked in the head. Stop posting this shit. You're being ironic, right? This guy can make a cogent argument for what he says. He's well-spoken, and doesn't rely on convenient abstractions. Can't say the same for Prisonplanet, or most of the posters here. Yes. I was trying to be funny. The vid is spot on. Thank you for posting it. Oh, my bad. I've been away from P & R section for a while, so I missed the tone. I just watched a video from the same guy on currencies -- there's something refreshing about someone talking about the subject without using the medium to seem smart. My problem with anarcho-capitalism is that I still don't see how we could prevent monopolies from forming. Then again -- all the people of the world being fucked over by the monopoly can pool their money together, hire a temporary army (saving dough by making it temporary), crush the monopolist, and get back to business (and the soldiers can find business crushing other monopolies, etc. etc.). It's like, we have organized crime now even with a strong government, who's to say without one things would be any worse? Might in fact be better. Then there's the whole issue of roads and public utilities -- but is that really worth all the bullshit that goes along with our government? Like someone wouldn't open up roads as a business? (If he tries to cheat us, again, form an army, etc. etc. etc.) Then there's public education -- wait, public education sucks, especially now that it's increasingly state-dictated, teaching to the test, ugh. Hmmmm... Then again, schools might not offer loans (or, they might). Education gentrifies (or not... it's already pretty bad). Thoughts?
