Barely. It's anarchism for pacifists and when all the major gangs and mafias make it there headquaters because of the unregulated sex and drug trades you'll see the peace go right out the window. Just look at the drug war in Mexico.

@homer091 There are still laws in a Minarchist society.

[homer091]

@THEFRANKLINFILM

There's a reason that laws are put in place to stop employers and business owners doing whatever they want. Those laws are for the good of the people and have been around long before the boom. It is unbelievably naive for you to think that companies wouldn't exploit Ireland for cheap labor. The same ass holes who are fucking up the world now are still going to exist in a minarchist society.

[THEFRANKLINFILM]

@homer091 I know, didn't last did it? and eventually ended up being very bad for business and made unions stronger and less likely to be broken. Now they are just bought out withing capitalist democracy.

1913 Lock-out

[THEFRANKLINFILM]

@homer091 That's just paranoia, an intellectually facile way of puttng obstacles in the way, competition would stop that from happening anyway, do you think one tyrant would even be capable of going against every employees wishes. It wouldn't be in his interests. It's hard enough getting people on the dole off of it to work.

[homer091]

I'm saying that one persons company would eventually expand and grow so much that it would own 80 percent of irelands business. worst case scenario, this person is a tyrant and has us all working in sweat shops for 10 cent and hour.

[THEFRANKLINFILM]

@homer091 are you saying a monopoly "doesn't" own the country?, a monopoly that gives you less power to change it.

[homer091]

@THEFRANKLINFILM

There's just no way it would be sustainable. My mind floods with reason why it wouldn't work whenever I think about it. By privatising everything a monopoly will eventually own the country. There'll be no system in place to help the desperate. The sex and drug trades will blow up. Hundreds of thousands if not millions will immigrate. Private schooling and healthcare. It's completely regressive and it's the perfect environment for the likes of Brian Cowen. Undiluted capitalism.
