His arguments from history surely could only amount to mixed democracy with sizeable government being the ‘sustainable peak’ that he can point to. his pushing a minarchy position is open to all the criticisms he makes of anarchy given the way he argues.
<< I have repeatedly challenged you on how the anarchic society would deal with the ambitious, charismatic, and skilled meglomaniac who eventually will control a critical mass of the defense industry.
how exactly would a minarchy handle that? an ambitious, charismatic and skilled meglomaniac who will control all of the only defence industry…

I just came in here to say LOL @ this quote. How does a state handle these megalomaniacs? It worships them.
^NO cus you can write it into the constitution that government will be good!
Sustainable is just another word for perpetual motion. Whether anything lasts for ever or any given length of time is of no concern. Anarchy has never existed because it can’t exist. What can exist is stateless markets. Unlike unicorns, there is no reason to exclude this possibility.

I don’t understand your distinction
If two people want two different things, someone has to win/lose more or less. That is effectively hierarchy even if it is not “sustainable”. Maybe statists are so obsessed with sustainability because a state is sustained hierarchical structure.
yet you’ve said nothing about anarchy…which is the absence of states; and anarcho-capitalism is synonymous with ‘stateless free markets’
Anarchy is no rule, not the absence of states.

Isn’t New Hampshire working on this?
New Hampshire’s normal population growth swamps the Fail-Staters. This project is about as plausible as Seasteading.
To give them credit, at least they’re on land. There’s also the off chance that the Free-Staters become an economically stable enough community to start having babies in sizeable numbers.
or educating their neighbours in sizeable numbers
Color me cynical, but that doesn’t seem to work very well beyond one person at a time. To each their own, I guess.

lol@educating the masses.
now you are just being silly
Are you able to articulate what the goals and methodology of SSI are?
Strategic fertility is the way to go.
Yes, quite. +1

I’m not the one who thinks the masses are anything but intellectually inert two-legged cattle. You know the reason bad ideas are so massively predominate throughout history: people like them.
