China bulldozered over villages for their olympics.
That’s just commitment.
The magical market fairies of freedom will take care of all that. Didn’t you read the wikipedia article where he gets all his information?
I also like to hear his proposals on who’s going to pull his ass out of trouble when he gets shot down and captured in hostile territory where officials think he is some sort of foreign spy and want to hang him.
The free market is more than capable of providing energy when there’s a demand. That’s how a free market works, if there’s demand for something then someone will supply that demand.
The Federal Reserve came into existence through government. Also, the central banks in Europe are institutions of the European Union. Governments love central banks because fiat currencies allow them to finance massive projects including wars. Any newly created money simply devaluates the currency. The people are the ones that suffer of course (inflation).
Even if you can’t live without the idea of having a government, you could at least accept the fact that governments are always growing on existing wealth. There was a time when income tax didn’t even exist, yet the government was doing just fine. The idea of a limited government with minimal taxation seems good, but in the end the government will always grow as the newly created wealth increases tax revenue which in turn funds the growth of the government.
Government regulation is also a major problem for economic development, and many times also exploited by big industry for their own corporate interest.
Yea, and what if aliens landed and captured the president. That would be epic.
You keep mentioning it, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t give the government 'over half’ of my hard earned income.
Lol someone who doesn’t understand why anarchy doesn’t work. Anarchy, capitalism communism are all inherently flawed. Do you know why? Because people. People fuck it up. But at least with communism and capitalism you don’t have to worry about someone killing you because there isn’t a consequence to their actions.
Even if people didn’t go fuck crazy without looming consequences. You’d just end up being some CEO’s bitch because there would be nothing to protect workers. Your children will be working long hours and suffering just like they did when Laissez-faire was big.
Sure consumers could simply boycott companies that do this but do not neglect to realize people’s laziness. People can’t even do anything effective with their world today. If London wants change they are gonna need to do something other than misguided rioting and looting.
Go tell that to my grandmother, asshole.
90s in Russia - that’s how free market on rampage and anarchy looks like. People’s factories and oil being sold to the highest bidder, electronics and weapons R&D eliminated, no wages to a simple working man, no electricity, no heating, no state, no justice - and the oligarchs throwing parties in London. I suggest you study that period thoroughly before talking about free market and capitalism, you fucking idiot.
That have no money and hold obligations in dollars. And european union is what? It doesn’t represent each nation in particular.
Problem is - EU is an impotent. See you when it goes to hell. Britain was smart enough not to abolish pound sterlings.
Wrong again. That act came was signed by bankers on a closed meeting. Govt’ couldn’t do shit about it. Kennedy tried as an honest man - got shot in the back of the head.
Know why? The first rule of capitalism is that the one who has the most wealth has the control. Great depression didn’t just come out of nowhere.
You pretend like such thing as U.S. government exists and can do something - when in reality what we have now is dangerously close the anarcho-capitalism you are talking about.
That’s the problem of bankers in charge, not an inherent sin of a state.
That shit happened with Russian civilian pilots taken hostage in Sudan, you dipshit. Their asses were dragged out only because they were the citizens of the state that cared - their families couldn’t do jack shit.
Keep living in the wonderland.
But before you go - here’s a present for you:

You fucking moron.
That’s right, you don’t give it, they take it.
I might as well throw in North Korea as an example of how states function if you’re going to use things like that as an argument.
This just shows how little you actually know of anarcho-capitalism, because like I already stated multiple times it’s a free market system without government and no initiation of force. How are we even close to a system like that? :facepalm:
Pointless garbage, if you’re heading in that direction I might as well pick situations in world war two (or any conflict) where allied or axis soldiers were left to die by their states. Totally irrelevant, especially since an anarcho-capitalist society has no states.
sigh
go fuck yourself, dipshit.
No hard feelings, though. Keep living in the wonderland.
I totally should have given up and used this in the first place.
Also you’re still wrong about the government taking all of my money. Sure they do, in a way, but A. I’m a student, and B. My part time work is as an employee of the NHS, so in a way the taxes come back to me.
Let those facts discredit me if you so wish. But the offtopic to your outlandish ideals is kinda boring now anyway.
No guys he’s right, it could totally work, we’d just have to get every single person on the planet on board all at once.
What’s the matter, ran out of examples to use to show me how bad and evil anarcho-capitalism is? Well seeing as you’re such a big fan of the state and how good they are at saving their soldiers. Lets talk big, let’s talk world war two. June 22 1941, Germany launches Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of Soviet Russia). German army group south reaches the city of Kiev in the Ukraine but doesn’t have the punch needed to take the city. They order large tank formations from army group centre to halt their advance on Moscow and swing south and launch a pincer attack on the city. The Soviets are aware of their desperate situation and request the state to be allowed to retreat. But guess what, their glorious state tells them to stand fast and fight to the last man. The German attack was a great success, more than 600,000 Soviet soldiers were captured or killed. The German army made no preparations for containing such large quantities of prisoners, so most of the Soviets were simply left to die from hunger.
I can use more examples, like the Siege of Leningrad, or maybe the annihilation of the German 6th army at Stalingrad. I didn’t want to use that example though, because I’m sure the typical “hurr durr Godwin’s law” idiots would show up. Those wars sure do give us good movies and video games no? If it wasn’t for states fighting wars we wouldn’t have Call of Duty! Oh how bad that would be! Well thanks to the state, taxation and money printing all of these horrible events are possible.
Anyway, that’s just one of countless examples, and that’s just world war two. You give me extreme examples, so can I.
Why didn’t you do that in the first place? Saves me some time.
Show me an example of it working first. Go.
Can’t help but love the liberal economists and their moronic theories.
Now you go and try schooling me on what happened during Great Patriotic War. And then having a nerve to tie this to the topic and speculate about this, cunt?
Now tell me, why is only 7 million of 20 million Russian casualties were soldiers?
Maybe make a video game about SS squads burning down civilians locked in their own houses?
I also see you are a true descendant of French surrender monkeys.
I don’t even know what your point is anymore.
Too bad, I thought you would have at least checked the little menu that Wikipedia has so you can quickly access specific subjects of anarcho-capitalism.
As opposed to the situation were currently in.
So you have knowledge of wars like that? How can you even criticize anarcho-capitalism (which you seem to know shit about like most of the people here judging by their replies) when you know of the wars that were fought and funded under the name of the state?
edit:
I didn’t mean to turn this into a WW2 discussion, but I will answer this.
First of all the SS is part of the state, personal bodyguards of the state leader, though I’m sure you know all this.
So basically you just confirmed the ruthlessness of the state (and their “war of annihilation”).
Also, your comment is somewhat disrespectful towards the French. Their military leadership was garbage overall, and the French people suffered for it. They were overrun by an army that was better led with superior military tactics. Even though they surrendered, they fought to the very end as underground formations.
He (ODB) used an extreme example of supposedly anarcho-capitalism being a horrible system, so I used extreme examples of world war two to show the ruthlessness of the state/government.
Oh, I saw the speculations about iceland and wild west - but if they were so good, why didn’t they keep going? Because of evil pressure of other states? Or because the system doesn’t work for the planet with population of 6 billion?
Ohhhh, but why are you conveniently forgetting that the Slavs faced the fate of extinction and ethnic cleansing? Well documented fact, btw.
In fact, just so you know - they were the only ones who really fought back these Nazi cunts. Everyone else in Europe just surrendered or formed governments in exile as soon as Hitler stroke.
Also, why are you ommiting that it was the Soviet system that consolidated property, provision, soldiers and factory workers by the middle of the war, organized military production and everything else that, along with soviet people - pushed these fucks back to where they came from, despite the Soviet union had no resources and organization adequate enough to give retaliation when the war began?
I still don’t get why they’re rioting.
