That's the supposed claim that all of history has refuted. Look up Rothbard and read his books. Anarcho-Capitalism is not for the proverbial "anarchy," but something very different.

You do realize that freedom cannot exist without government to protect your rights. Your property would be stolen from you the minute you are absent, you could be forced physcially into doing something by another human being and you could have the fruits of your labor taken from you.
Government should only exist to protect rights, supply infrastructure, stop market fraud and collusions. Anything else infringes on Liberty instead of protecting it.

creature. Now, whether you can achieve in reality or in total existence no government at all I believe to be probably impossible at least on a wide scale, but gov't is NEVER something to be desired or some kind of superior order; voluntary order will always be superior, morally and productively.
I love how the state has brainwashed people into thinking anarchy as being some kind of inferior order. Anarchy IS the order. You just happen to have weak sheep still being extorted, deserving

People are deciding that their fates are their own... It's not a question of Anarchy"?
lol, this is exactly a question of Anarchy. There is NO sweet spot gov't size. By it's very nature, you do not want any capacity of gov't. Gov't is the criminal against individual liberty and is always the prime aggressor. By it's very definiton of being coercive, it is not held to any kind of fair contract you might have in free trade or voluntary order. So, you do not want any amount of this

I agree, he was a pragmatic utilitarian "shades of grey" sort of person not very principled at all. I greatly admire his talent for rationally explaining the benefits of capitalism however. He gave us some time.

Why? It has a longer track record than a purely philosophical construction that is communism.

The kind of capitalism Friedman is advocating has the greatest ethical, moral and philosophical backing already: freedom.

The big foot of government pushing down on the back of citizens is about to grow a size if Barack wins.
