who is paying for the road to be made and maintained? i don't see how you answered this at all

[VirtualHolocaust]

well dirt roads dont really need to be maintained. however if the company wants to save money on the suspension or tires they could pave it.

[Rahab111222]

Anarchists think streets and roads are a natural occuring phenomenon.

@scatcoitus I don't anticipate such a scenario in city roads. Cities would be broken up into many many small home owner associations or business associations. The associations would then take care of and pay for the roads. on these roads it would not make much sense for them to be toll roads. for highways and "interstates" it would be different. Those would be some sort of toll road, but that in no way means stopping every 5 miles or whatever to give a person your change. there are many tech

@scatcoitus you don't force people to pay for roads, if they don't pay, you kick them off your property. It is just like someone who doesn't have permission digging up your flower bed. you kick them off.

[DeraJa]

there are many many many ways to deal with roads. Some are better then others.

[scatcoitus]

actually, how would you force people to pay for roads anyway? would privatized road companies have their own police force?

[scatcoitus]

privatized roads in my opinion is what you would have in a dystopia. i wouldn't want to pay every time i used a fucking road to travel somewhere.

@sausage4mash sure. i did that to make things easier, especially since there is a word limit on the comments. I could go into much more detail.

And no, democracy has to do NOTHING with capitalism, you're right. I'm not one of those guys.

[sausage4mash]

Do you not think you are over simplifying things a little ?

and what is it with this stupid idea that came from American that capitalism has anything to do with democracy.

[credible2]

@sausage4mash a government IS a business: it's a MONOPOLY.

In a stateless society, there would be COMPETITION. There would be freedom.

i think in some rare cases, there may be natural monopolies on road (due to geography). Like you said in an earlier comment, Zam, anti-statists need to emphasis other innovative modes of transportation. And personally, if there is a monopoly on roads, there WILL probably be other alternative modes of transportation, if not,the THREAT of alternate forms of transportation.
