Obviously that can’t be the case if your entire position is that “monocentric law” is not only viable in the absence of a state but is the only way order would emerge.
If your entire argument is that a state is not necessary for “monocentric law”, then how are you in the same camp as people who believe a state is necessary? How can you be called the same thing?
This is why your definition is nonsensical and you should (1) come up with a different term to describe yourself that doesn’t confuse people who already understand the term to mean someone who believes in the legitimacy and necessity of the State and (2) change the title of the thread accordingly.
Exactly. Which is why I suggested you actually change the title to reflect that.
You however do not seem to be interested in clarity, and people understanding what they are getting into by opening this thread, but rather in forcing your confusing definition of “minarchism” onto anyone who will bother to listen.
You appear to be operating like this fellow or this fellow. You have come up with your own definition for some term and wish to appear enlightening by going around telling everyone how they’ve been wrong in their interpretation the whole time…that “monetary sovreignty” is the key to all economics and “libertarian monarchy” is the most proper political philosophy.
This is why you use the term “minarchism” and call yourself “Minarchist” so that you might be misunderstood as believing in a State and then debate your notion that “anarcho-capitalism” = “polycentric legal order” and that is unsustainable and that in a statless society, “monocentric legal order” is the way things will go.
It’s a lot like this Charles Johnson fellow who goes around calling himself the purposfully confusing “free market anti-capitalist” just so that he might be engaged into explaining his whole made up philosophy.
All I’m saying is that not using a term for which a definition is already widely understood and simply changing the definition to mean something almost entirely different, would be helpful. At the very least a more accurate thread title would help avoid confusion.
