Hm, new idea by AnCap professor: charter cities

[gotlucky]

Autolykos, I’m surprised you’ve left the kid gloves on as long as you have, considering such gems as these:

@Anenome

I would say a tribal group has no government, meaning no legislators, no rule of law, no institutions of administration.

@Anenome

So… any counter? Or are you accepting it. Not sure I’d call a tribal group a ‘state’ since the idea of a state requires law, which means written rules. A tribal group may have a leader and some structure, but it’s ruled by whim of the ruler, not law. Which is a step backwards in terms of civilization.

@Anenome

In analyzing coercion, we find that coercion is not always wrong. We group coercion into two opposing moral categories: the initiation of coercion–known as aggression, and responsive coercion designed to stop the former–known as justice.

You, and the other anarchs, propose to dispense with justice because you can’t stand aggression. But you’ll find that no society can exist without the upholding of justice.

@Anenome

Anarchy is not the same as the absense of law. The Rothbardians on this forum advocate the NAP as the law. Others, such as myself, advocate common law. Statutory law, which is derived from governments, is what you have been referring to. But, as I just stated, it is not the only form of law. And predictably (for some), I’m going to refer you to these two threads for further reading:
