"The charity vending machines operate like a standard vending machine, but people can select a charitable item from dozens of local and global charity organizations."
@rasterman Cospaia in particular had no government, taxes, police, or prisons, and lasted for almost 400 years with a booming economy thanks to it's tobacco production which was banned everywhere else. It was as developed as neighboring societies at the time. It was the longest lived, stateless, capitalist society in the western world.

>Early agrarian societies had a subsistence economy, nothing like capitalism.
Hunter-gatherer societies were subsistence, not neolithic societies. Population grew exponentially so people slowly moved to a barter based society during that time.
Also, I'm not a LARPer. I post gamedev stuff in addition to my libertarian preaching. Hachi, on the other hand, constantly whines about "trans genocide".
@rasterman The point of the article was to prove that voluntary social order can work. They used statist terms like "government", but the society operated like a home owner's association.
Also, how did you think early agricultural civilizations operated? They were stateless and people voluntarily bartered crops and services.

@rasterman Mises was saying that it operated more like a home owner's association or covenant community than a nation-state, so it's kind of like what the Hoppeans want. Also laws were just moral traditions instead of being written on paper, kind of like natural law.
If you want better examples you also have the American Old West, Celtic Ireland, the Icelandic Commonwealth, and Cospaia.

@sjw Oh wait! She's still alive?
@gabriel @jeremiah @parker I wanted to purchase one of their laptops, but when I needed a new computer two years ago, the chip shortage was going on and System76 was out of stock on everything. I had to bite the bullet and buy another laptop from BestBuy and install Linux on it.
I would like to support them in the future though. I feel like it's important to support Linux and open-source hardware if we want to see a future for open-source software.
@ArdainianRight @hachi Well to be fair, I have seen a lot of Poast, NCD, and Mugicha users becoming borderline ethnoglobalist lately, but that also includes retards like ImperialAgent who wants to genocide left-handed people.
Many OG Seasteaders were early supporters of the ZEDE law in Honduras, just a few years later and Prospera is growing. Check out this documentary about it: https://buff.ly/3rXNMhU

>Are we sure that guy wasn't a fed?
He was a fed. That book is so ridiculous that it's hard to believe it's not satire. And it honestly reminds me a lot of Linder's fed-posts.
