This is a great video. I plan on linking somewhere here that has been needling me on whether or not Iceland was a good example of an anarchic society or of polycentric law.
-
The state always demonizes the society that created it to try and instill a feeling of validity towards it's existence.

@darris321 Even in today's system, it would take a very long time for anyone to realize anything was amiss, and if you did have witnesses, they would obviously say that you did commit the crime. The punishment is a very difficult matter, because of his hermit nature, but the man's life was indeed stolen from him against his will, and there would probably be a punishment for that alone.

what if something happens in which there is no longer a victim?
like if i murder a man with no family or friends

Great Video.
ANARCHISM DOES NOT IMPLY NO LAW. YOU CAN EVEN HAVE POLICE IN AN ANARCHIST SOCIETY (although not very likely.)

Thank you for your great efforts!
I apologize for all the mind numbingly stupid comments below me :/

@rmbd2b12 Last I checked the mayans were an empire

Amazing vid. Now I can show all my friends who can't imagine private law.

however, they had no problem with slaves, while they trained for WAR, and putting down any rebellions, they trained for WAR, and they engaged in WAR
period.
I mean WOW, talk about economics, lol
as a matter of fact, the greek city states were made because when society wasn't run centrally and strongly, the greeks suffered immensely, through the dark ages just after the Mycenaean kingdom fell
they gradually got into one country, greece
it's just how it is, dude
-
I already know about economics, lol...
but values are something of another beast, the spartans were VERY anti-money
the reason I mention ancient greece, is because...
well, to be fair, libertarianism only exists because of the traditions that came down that were started, by them in the first place
GO FIGURE

the content of values are given, it requires a value free science to analyze them.
again, it's hard to level criticisms when you have absolutely no clue what austrian economics says or how it applies to understanding reality. nuff said.

@junior00bacon00chee
but I don't care what austrian economics says, unless it deals with values and how they affect the world, because my values affect my economic choices, as do many others', that's how identity advertising works on teenagers, for instance

@noobl
well of course they do! that is the entire premise, that people's subjective values determine the course of actions. people act with the belief that, according to their own subjective values, the state of their affairs will be "improved" (improved there again, being a subjective term). it is all analyzed objectively with value free analysis.
if you aren't interested in learning about economics then i have nothing further to say. again, i cannot get caught up in these endless convos.

then you have a problem, discounting people's values is an absolutely surefire way to be wrong

like i said, i'm not interested in debating with someone who is completely unfamiliar with praxeology and economics. of course economics MUST be a value free science, b/c values are subjective! we are talking about the formal logical implications of the existence of deliberate action, about how prices emerge, interest rates, production, wealth creation, etc.
once you've got that down, then you can go about arguing according to people's values.
