True anarcho-capitalism hasn't been tried yet.
In presenting that link as some sort of counter-argument, are you a lying faggot on purpose or is it just because you're stupid?
Maybe next time choose a bullshit story about a place where I can't easily check the original sources in Spanish.
@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.

@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.
@rasterman It's another example of an early form of a covenant community. A covenant community is not a state because it's voluntary. You choose to live there like choosing to live in a gated community, trailer park, or apartment complex. A state on the other hand claims land by force. Not paying the fee meant that businesses would no longer associate with you. That's not a state, that's just voluntary association.
Also again dodging the part where the utopian non-state state turns into a den of criminals. I guess the voluntary association favours contrabandists and killers escaping justice elsewhere. I can't believe the Papal States and the kingdoms of Portugal and Spain wanted to put an end to these thriving capitalists.
tl;dr
your meme account portrays a lying faggot
Well, at least this time I had to sift through the lolbert propaganda before getting the real data:
>300 hectare, 250 inhabitant tobacco farm in Renaissance Italy
>ran by council of elders
>even Mises admits they must've charged a "voluntary" "fee",
>it was voluntary and definitely not a tax; but not paying meant excommunication
>elected a president
>hamlet pretending to be a republic
>literally created by the Papal States as a buffer zone between them and the Florentines (later the duchy of Tuscany)
>ends up turning into a den of criminals just like the other example and was reabsorbed into the Papal States without fuss
Also, just like the previous deceitful example, anarchist retards never seem to focus on how these states ended: one day a bigger state decided it was over, and no amount of personal nukes were deterrent enough.
It's not the laughable, delusional ideology that bugs me about your fake persona; but the lying.
