  • Agree with most of it, aside from " Areas the police don't go into in the UK because of islamic gangs" This isn't true, it's a myth perpetrated by British right wing media.

    Everything else is spot on, I'm not having a go, I think your videos are incredibly useful for helping my friends understand my politics.I'm also a subscriber, I Just wanted to point that out. Peace!

  • Socialised hate was an awesome album

  • @xtremejohnny69 "then you just invented a government and taxation"

    Not the case. If people pool resources together for a police force then they are doing so voluntarily, and so it is not taxation. Second, the protection they want is decided on beforehand, and they can voluntarily leave the protection of law enforcement if it got too powerful.

    And we do not see private security or other service providers going to the highest bidder. I don't see how that would be a problem for stateless police.

  • @Metaphysicist I'm all for getting government out of the economy, no regulations, no minimum wage, all that, but the whole role of government is to protect the people from having their rights invaded. Part of that power is the power to raise an army, and have a police force.

  • @xtremejohnny69 Thankyou I'm glad to know that somebody else see's that major catch of a Anarchist/Stateless society.

  • Only problem with supply and demand police protection is that they would sell out for the highest bidder. If a gang got enough money, then they could just pay the police off. Plus, how would individuals pay for this protection if they don't make as much? You'd have to have everyone pool their money together to have the police patrol and protect people, and then you just invented a government and taxation. I believe in free markets, but this is taking it a tad far.

  • Interesting video, but I heard a lot of arguing one position (the flaws with a state monopoly of police, which I agree) and not about what about the stateless-capitalist solution other than getting guns and hiring bodyguards (which assumes that everyone has the capacity to buy protection, disregarding those who don't).

  • I love your videos and totally agree too!:)

  • @AndyWright68 Are you kidding?? In a free society areas that are "ghetto" will increase while rich areas decrease as the money gets sucked towards those with it already...The richest of the rich would love for this to happen, do you think we're all going to go back to zero balance and start over again, yeah right!!! If...at all this happened it would be a ready set go kind of thing, and those without substantial funds would be fucked like never before.

  • @sltsnirvana How much protection do you need with no incentives to steel & where most people are armed, the best deterrent. The wild west was actually the mild west. The more people arm themselves and defend others the less violence there is. Plus if my neighborhood armed it's guards and beefed up security because the cops were abolished we would require they respond to surrounding neighborhoods. When there is a need it will be fulfilled.
