The entire anarchist argument is illogical. One fact I have discovered debating them is that they constantly engage in three actions usually in this order:
-
the circular logic of using logic to disprove logic — argument by fallacy ad nauseam.
-
ad hominems
-
trollish behavior
For confirmation of this, note any thread in which a substantive argument against anarchism is offered.
Indeed, in a recent thread I noted that anarchist military agencies will form cartels or associations with other military agencies within a given geographic region to reduce costs to consumers and producers by increasing cooperation and reducing conflict. This in turn will lead to territorial monopolies of armed force that leads to absolutism.
Unless you discount the Acton adage of ‘power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely’
The anarchist is confronted with a conundrum and illogic of a private military consortuim being trusted, yet a government military monopoly as untrustworthy. Indeed, it is the concentration of military power that is the cause of corruption, not who wields power and the manner in which power is obtained — whether voluntary private or coercive public. In the end, they both become coercive and absolutist.
Unless you discount the Acton adage of ‘power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely’
Then the entire anarchist argument is debunked en masse since rejection of this tenet implies that big government can be trusted.
