My job at the anarchist commune is to stand at the gate and deny entry to people who think that making video essays is a valid job at the anarchist commune

@vriska Yeah I get it. We are the real anarchists and you are a closeted tankie.

An ancap walks into a bar. The bartender says: sorry we don't serve alcohol to minors. :laugh-about-it:

@dushman @vriska Gaelic Ireland, the Iceland Commonwealth, Bronze Age India, and The American Wild West are examples of historical societies that were basically anarcho-capitalist. Some have even lasted longer than the US.

@xianc78 @vriska
>societies that were basically anarcho-capitalist

Literally how?

@dushman @vriska Capitalism as in the voluntary exchange of goods and services. These societies were stateless with some even having privatized courts and security (in the case of Ireland and Iceland). Bronze Age India had large cities with infrastructure funded by merchants. The towns in the American Old West were built on private infrastructure, including the security.

@xianc78 @dushman @vriska Bronze Age India was not stateless. There were republics called Janpaths. The leaders of these republics formed councils called Parishad for decision making.

@abhijith @dushman @vriska Okay, maybe not all of it but the Harappan civilization that existed there certainly was. There didn't appear to be any capital and law was decentralized.

@xianc78 @dushman @vriska Probably, but there are degrees to decentralization. There existed inequality in Harappan civilization to the extend that people were deprived from rights to basic health and safety. Is it possible to establish such systematic discrimination in an anarchist society? It must be this inequality that inspired the caste system of later cultures which is still followed today.
