@xianc78 Can't do that, because Jews.
@Ricotta There have been stateless societies that have lasted longer than the US. Ireland was basically ancap for 1000 years. Bronze Age India was stateless for 1500 years.
@yangwenli @Ricotta The American Old West had guns.
@xianc78 @yangwenli And those guns were used 99% of the time to enforce the law. Law set by the government.
@Ricotta @yangwenli The American Old West was basically ancap. They've set up order long before government agents arrived and infrastructure was privatized.
@xianc78 @yangwenli If by Ancap you mean under the authority and protection of the US Army, then yeah.
If the government disappeared tomorrow, by Friday you'd be governed by whoever in your local area has the most guns and the will to actually use them.
