“Could you provide some evidence of this? I’m sure it’s true on some scale, but it’s not the norm for sure.”
I’m not saying its the norm its mostly the anarcho capitalist that believe that.
But what would the government do that a private firm could not do? Do you mean, you could use government power by forcing someone else to pay for it with taxes, in order to recover your money?
Btw, we have a couple arachno-capitalists around here too. Gotta give them a shout out.
That is a strawman argument. I don’t think anyone indicated there wouldn’t be white collar crime.
Well this country was founded with the belief in justice. The reason I believe the government is failing at doing this is because it spends to much time doing other crap like war,welfare,regulating etc. Once we get rid of all the that crap government will be able work properly. Bad laws drive out good laws
It was really founded by some guys who wanted to run the show for themselves and compete with the King. Guys like Hamilton, who liked everything about the British Mercantilist system, except that he wasn’t running it.
You mean it will be able to steal from people to fund it’s monopoly defense and legal services?
That’s actually pretty good.
If you have no means of proving someone stole from you, do you think it’s legitimate to steal from others to gain those means?
So private militaries won’t steal from people? what about the people who can’t afford defense in the private sector?
Well, if private military stole from people we would be back to what we currently have.
I’m showing this because you ‘went there’
A private military or government would quickly get destroyed by communist or fascist or anybody with nukes. And a private military can easily turn against its employer kill him and steal his assets. Just as the state can eliminate a rich individual and steal his assets.
Are you messing around with us?
If you arm ten guys and pay them to guard your billion dollars they would quickly kill you take your money and not have to worry about anything since your dead and won’t be able to hire some one to recover your money.
Wills, next of kin, benefactors? These things could not exist in your example?
what if someone hires a hit man to his wife? who would stop him?
Who will stop an unknown hitman from committing a crime that has yet to happern? Clearly I would advocate Tom Cruise and the Precrime division though I do fear the random minority report may occur.
What if the private police don’t recognize the Will? since they are the ones who ordered the hit. Your dead remember they don’t need you anymore or your family.
the jokes on you since you advocate such an absurdity as private courts and police. Either your very rich or very stupid.
A will is the product of the legal system. It is for the courts to decide, not a police unit.
The court doesn’t have police so how can they enforce their ruling?
Want to hear a wonderful thing, I’ve never had to utilize the police system in my 22 years of life. May I one day? Perhaps but I refuse to pay for a service I do not utilize.
