@borzoi @xianc78 @coldacid @crisp why Libertarians think that Companies can do no wrong tho?

@Gerfand @coldacid @borzoi @crisp We don't believe that. It's when they use the government to stomp out competition through things like "intellectual property", bail-outs, tax-payer subsidies, etc, they prevent the free-market from correcting itself.

@xianc78 @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @Gerfand And then businessmen get together and lobby for copyright. What now

@sickburnbro @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @Gerfand That's why I'm an ancap and not a minarchist. There will be no government to lobby to.

@xianc78 @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @Gerfand And then people who share common goals will come together and .. ?

@sickburnbro @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @Gerfand Instantly be defeated by people defending their properties.

If you really think my ideology is bullshit, I will like you to know that Ireland was essentially ancap for a millennium (650 - 1650).

@xianc78 @sickburnbro @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @Gerfand in which way was medieval Ireland ancap, and how is it consistent with modern ancap principles?

@spooky1589 @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @Gerfand @sickburnbro Courts and law were privatized and operated in a stateless manner and association was entirely voluntary. It was pretty complex for a stateless society.

@xianc78 @spooky1589 @coldacid @borzoi @crisp @sickburnbro I find funny how you totally not biased source leaves the actual Ancap society, and the close to Ancap ones that were not divided in multiple petty kingdoms that were not conquered by luck, like Ireland was.
@xianc78 @borzoi @coldacid @crisp @sickburnbro @spooky1589 And funny that the Irish one is the only one where guy doesn't provide any source...
@Gerfand @borzoi @coldacid @crisp @sickburnbro @spooky1589 @xianc78 Spoiler warning: He's wrong.

Or maybe he isn't, he never defined ancapism so maybe its just that in entails a stratified feudal system with unusual succession laws, who knows?
@WaitingForMajorian @borzoi @coldacid @crisp @sickburnbro @spooky1589 @xianc78 tbh, Celtics society are know for being "libertarian" in the tax sense, but its only that, like they were not a bunch of Ancaps, they still have kingdom, gov, and other stuff, for the Romans that is Anarchy.

So we that use the Roman view of the world, consider that anarchy, but if you look more in depth, you see that they were far away from Ancap, its more like a different society that maybe had no or less taxes, but still, there was a nobility, freeman, serfs or slaves, etc

Well the fact there was people considered "Freemen" shows that it was in constract to those who were not free
