You forgot Tucker, Faucher and Molinari. That aside, Nozick clearly states that a competitive legal system would lead to a monopoly government. Especially given the prior knowledge of Capitalism, Monetarism and media spin.Joool said:
If the numerous examples of fiction don't clear that dream from your mind, take a look at the Lockean Proviso [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockean_proviso], and try and work out how companies like Activision [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92199-Activision-Suing-To-Stop-Brutal-Legend-Release] would respond to that.
Well I highly doubt that any of those books would "clear that dream", I mean none of those books really have to do a lot with anarchocapitalism.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Quote from Jennifer Government wiki page: "some readers see the novel as a criticism of libertarianism. Many readers also see it as a criticism of globalization"
Neuromancer is just some science fiction book.
Communism would work if people weren't greedy. Sadly human have this nature to try and be better than the other one, keeping up with teh jones' idea.
Anarchism would work if nobody tried to establish a legal system. Anrachism only works as a small group within a larger system.
Democracy would work if politicians were honest and therefore people could make reasoned decisions. Democracy doesnt work as there is always someone who will not be happy. The majority isnt always right.

You mean it's a work of fiction? Funny... I already said that. It's never "just" a science fiction book though, in the same way that 1984 (Government brainwashing), Farenheit 451 (Book burning) or Day Of The Dead (social anarchy) are "just some science fiction" media.Joool said:
In the beginning, society was of an Anarchist state (at least ouside of a family and tribal ties). If, in the current economic cycle, we were to revert to anarchism there would be an inevitable cycle where we end up with people slowly gaining power, deciding to rule over the land they have conqured, inspiring revoloutions for democratic, organized governments and presto we make no progress.
For an anarchist state to work, we would need to have an economy such that people do not need to take from others to get what they want, and clearly there is no such economy that can provide that in the modern world. For now, however, I'm quite happy to sit back and ***** about overpaid politicians who are more interested in their public image than the countrys future, and about a broken police force that may as well not exist.

Indeed, I was rather surprised at how much I was able to learn. I could've just coasted through the course but instead decided to pay attention and draw connections by myself, which turned out to be much more interesting than I had anticipated.Destal said:
You should do a simple web search and read about Anarchy like some people have suggested.Slick Samurai said:
Humans are social creatures. Just like animals are. And just like animals, they instinctively have a social hierarchy.
Anarchy is something you spout off about when you're in high school and you have no idea what you're talking about. People who are older--have read some history and have some life experience under their belts will do a, "Wouldn't it be nice but go and read The Stand or Cell[i/]. Anarchy is not realistic."
Eventually, someone wants to assume authority. That's just the way humans are.
