  • No, they wouldn't have to hold a license. And anything can be "government" if you throw the term around worthlessly. It is the state we are opposed to -- that group of organized criminals who force their rule upon us.

  • Don't think that I do not share most of your sentiments. I am merely saying that whomever enforces those laws, be they set by the free market still will have to hold a license to enforce by means of violence if necessary.

    I am a thorough believer in the free market, but whomever is allowed to execute law is a government in some form.

  • The state is not a just provider of law. It makes its own laws, it breaks its own laws, it is the prosecutor and the judge in its own cases, it gets income through stealing (tax), and it is compulsory (you can't not be part of it). I would rather have law and justice provided on a property rights basis by the market than by the most criminal organization of all time.

  • meh...

    Whatever regulatory body is put in place to enforce the law will be a government in some form or another.

  • Yes. It follows neither that for law there must be a country, nor that for law there must be a state + government.

  • without law, there can be no freedom

  • His last statement "...in a free country" is a contradiction of terms. Free assumes the absence of government, country assumes the presence of government.

  • "Liberty is truth, limited government is smaller government" -Unknown

  • this may be the best speech in the history of the world
