This video is not a full endorsement of the ideology of market anarchy, also known as anarcho-capitalism. For a six-part video explaining Stuart Hayashi's position on anarcho-capitalism, one may see Qtronman's six-part series, "Anarchism and Due Process."

The chapter of *Jonathan Gullible* mentioning the final resort of law enforcement:

Some key points:

* Laws are ultimately enforced at gunpoint.

* Due Process of Law does not change that fact.

* For the government to exercise the force of law to imprison someone -- on account of some peaceful action he did with his own private property and with consenting adults -- amounts to government-imposed kidnapping of an innocent person.

* The income tax is a preemptive ransom that you pay to the government so that it won't abduct you.

* Whenever we think, "There ought to be a law about this!," we should first ask ourselves, "Is this something worth threatening violence over?"

Are you a member of FEMA? Profiting from murde slavery and extortion is not a free market as you can see that is breaking fundamental laws which is you cannot harm/kill/etc anyone. Exploitation of workers? What does that mean? A worker picks a job and can leave at ANY time, there is no exploitation, only exploitation of a government because you don't have a choice. Private military is not privatisation, that is government run because it all depends on government.

That's a loaded question. Just because freedom isn't perfect, doesn't mean we should wreck freedom.

What is all this about freedom!? Do you think people should be able to profit from slavery, murder, or extortion?!? (!?!)

[bpowell0024]

I agree. Income tax is a fee we pay avoid imprisonment. So sad :(

But he's a terrible actor, "There should be a law against this..." always sounds bad

[greenghost2008]

the question should be to "there should be a law" is "am I willing to pull a gun out and enforce that law?"

[SlaughterTheFallen]

excellent, the government's job is to protect our rights. and that's it.
