I'd advocate libertarianism at first, to go from small government to eventually no government. Also there are plenty of things on which us, libertarians left and right and anarchists left and right can agree on. Let's work together to restore individual liberty, end big government infiltrating personal lives, do away with taxation, do away with immigration restraints, do away with drug laws, scale down the police and military, etc. Let's start with that.

The concern you raise about private security firms is one of the biggest ones I have with anarcho-capitalism. I don't think there is much use in abolishing the government as a source of violence-monopoly if you are going to make big business a violence-monopoly.

You'd have the right to defend yourself of course, but still...

I invite anyone anarcho-capitalist to tell me what they think about this issue.

"Sure it's fun to dream about a perfect world."

If people in America listened to that in the late 1700's and decided "yes, back to reality", you would still be signing "God save the Queen", wouldn't you?

I dare safely say this would get rid of 99% of all human violence. Furthermore, I'd give people the right to defend themselves (which comes with all the civil liberties I'd return), thus making the police obsolete. For all crime that is left now is compulsive or passionate, and the police can't stop that, nor can jailing people prevent that. That is my ' anarcho-socialist'- or 'libertarian socialist'- or 'whatever you want to call me'-view on society and the police.

I would abolish the monetary system by declaring all resources and capital collective good in a stateless society. Further I would automate construction and production to aid in the creation of abundance, which will lead to the abolishment of the monetary system by itself. With the government gone, the major actor of international and coercive domestic force is gone. With money gone and products abundant, the incentive to commit most other crimes is gone as well.

The police are bought, because the government is bought. If you seriously think the police treat poor people equal to rich people, you are beyond deluded. Get out of your house, look around.

@mikerowphone "The Police exist to ensure laws are enforced against EVERYBODY.. Not just the poor."

That explains why the harass bums and homeless people passing trough rich neighborhoods and yet let the Koch borthers get away with 2 confirmed dead due to their chemical spillages and negligance. Oh wait, it does the exact opposite.

"The world would quite literally be a playground for corporations. "

Ever heard of communalism, libertarian socialism, anarcho-communism,anarcho-synd­icalism,...?

@mikerowphone I coined the term garblefrax. I claim that Garblefraxes do not eat food. I claim that you are a garblefrax. Therefore you do not eat food. Rock solid logic.
