@djdnauk1977 No that's not the definition of anarchy at all. Anarchy is simply the absense of state coercion. It says absolutely nothing about coercion perpetuated by groups other than goverment. Funny, you defined anarchy to be the result you wanted (free association). When you put it that way, ...

@sk8tafrnk Institutions can make decisions for us in the absense of government too, right? Under Anarchy, anyone can come up with their own group to coerce others. Government is just one method of coercion, but not the only method. There is no such thing as a system that is free of coercion. That...

@radicalKT People have to choose from a range of less then perfect (bad) choices. This is the real world. You are essentially bitching about the fact people have bad choices, rather than accepting that people have will have to make some tough choices in order to improve their lives

@BogartWestern First off, no-one here is arguing about how the world ought to be. I have not read a single comment of that nature on this page. Certainly not in the top comments.

Of course everyone's critique of Stiglitz is that he failed to apply the same positive economics ("what is") to gover...

@MrCropper Not true. The textbook definition of libertarianism is that everyone should be free to pursue their objectives, provided you do not prevent others from doing the same. Note the last part of the previous sentence, very important. Libertarianism is not a type of anarchism at all. Marx c...

@crothersdaniel That's why I always have a good laugh at anarcho-socialists who believe that anarchism will bring about a worker's paradise somehow. More than likely, it would be the exact opposite. The rich and powerful can exert their power without facing legal repercussions from a democratica...

@KrugmanTheKing There's no reason to believe that anarchy would overturn authoritarian power structures. In fact, it would just enforce them more. For the rich and powerful would be able to kill and steal without facing legal repercussions from a democratically-elected government. As a little guy...

We'll have to carry this conversation on another time. I'll come back to look at your comments later. Thanx for the debate.
