A Minarchist Challenge To Anarcho-Capitalists

[Conza]

Now, the idea of a Private Defense Agency gives credence to the idea that it is perfectly acceptable under the non-aggression principle to initiate force against someone else who has initiated force.

No it doesn’t. You’re not initiating the violence, you are helping another defend against it. Self defense.

Now, let’s throw in a powder keg - the abortion issue. A pro-life person sees an abortion as the murder of a baby, a pro-choice person does not.

False dichotomy. These are not the only options. There is a third way, Libertarian way.

Evictionism. The Libertarian solution that blows the abortion issue out of the water. Below is part of a summation in form of chart.

A. Pro-abortion (pro-choice)
B. Eviction (pro property rights)
C. Anti-abortion (pro-life)

1. Is the mother compelled to bring the fetus to term; that is, to carry it for nine months?

A. no
B. no
C. yes

2. Can the mother evict the fetus from her womb?

A. yes
B. yes
C. no

3. Can the mother kill the fetus? (Would that new pill - RU 486 - which kills and then flushes out the fetus, be legal?)

A. yes
B. no
C. no

It does no good to presuppose one side is right - whether true or not, each side perceives themselves as right, and are acting without violation of the non-aggression principle.

No, they are both violating the non-aggression principle.

And as such, your minarchist challenge to the Anarcho-capitalists fails completely.

I do for some reason think “there has got to be some kind of reasoning out there” to disprove him

There is.
