I could observe until the cows come home, but without theory I would not be able to make sense of what I am experiencing.
your theory is called an cap ness
has an cap society EVER happened on earth?

You’re not going to stop babbling shit on this forum, are you? You’re obviously a bored troll.
Well, I didn’t expect anyone so intellectually dishonest to understand my point. Perhaps when you get tired of trolling these forums, you might want to do a little soul searching and actually try to understand what anarcho-capitalism is, how Austrian economics works, and how to compose a proper argument.
Ok. then give me list of 10 or less bullet points which define an capness and please give a real world example (today or historical).
Mansoor
Here’s a better idea. You do some reading and provide the forum with a bullet point list that describes anarcho-Capitalism. If you’re really interested in this, or any other, AE / libertarian subject, you would be motivated to do this on your own.
Ok.
Medieval Iceland is quite close, just to start you off. After 290 years, religion caused them to stray from the anarchic principle. Fees for protection were exempted for the Catholic church (IIRC) and power consolidated among a few tribal leaders. The people then begged the King of Denmark to rule in the hopes of a return to stability. Trust me, there is plenty more beyond that for you to learn.
Ok. I just read it. I got a sense of the practicality of your vision. One thing did hit me though. Why is it not possible for a good man (consumer driven /entrepreneurial individual) to make to head of state / member of Legislature in the current system? You just accept that as given.

Mansoor, I think you will find this article to be very helpful in your studies:
Why don’t we have philosopher kings? I don’t know man. Democracy is just a euphemism for majoritarianism. The “consumer input” to a democratic republic is a popularity contest every 2,4,6? years. Then with the appointment of lifetime judges, legislators straying from the constitution, unregulated appointment to bureaucratic positions such as with the FCC, we see it is not a model made with the consumer in mind.
I can give you the short answer. Because humans are not omniscient. Individuals, even a group of them, are not able to know all the details of everyday market life and everything that needs to happen on a second by second, hour by hour, day by day, even month by month, year by year, etc… basis. That’s why society involves division of labor to increase production, etc., etc…
This is a logical fallacy. Just because it hasn’t happened doesn’t mean that it can’t.
There is no such thing as trolls. You guys are just intolerant. Oh yea - and don’t forget dogmatic! Stop trying to “force” your anarchy on dis innocent and well meaning individual, who has no other aims than too diligently learn and ponder your responses in depth. Fooorrr ssshhhhammme! [;)]
I don’t appreciate being mocked.
It’s the position I was mocking. If anyone happens to hold the same one, I don’t see how that’s my fault.
If I some how offended you, I apologise.
Just a quick question, what books or resources have you read on anarcho-capitalism? Just interested, thanks.
Your parody ridicules the exact policy I just underscored (right down to the key words I chose) and which you just zealously objected to. So I don’t believe you. But I’m willing to let it drop, so long as you refrain from ridiculing me or my decisions regarding forum policy in the future.
That was literally over a day ago. I guess the characture was still in the back of my mind.
Now, that it’s been brought up - how about you answer those legitimate questions? I notice you were referring to me in your post, using the exact words I used.
“I don’t appreciate being mocked” either.
Does Mansoor resemble a troll? Do you think he is here to engage in an intelligent discussion, is he being intellectual honest, or open to persuasion?
Is there by any chance a troll rating system or chart we can compare alleged trolls to?
