There is no fundamental difference between forcing people to pay for "security" (from people who want to force you to do things 🤔) and forcing them to take some sort of medicine for their health or for their neighbor's health. It's arguably the minarchists who hold the weaker position vs your average pro-mask, pro-jab statist. Minarchy gives up the game before it even starts.

I love prodding conservatives by calling them socialists. They don’t change their minds but they do seem to half acknowledge that they don’t have good arguments to throw off my slur.

What is minarchy?

Monarchy - one ruler

Oligarchy - rule by a group

Minarchy - small govt or limited rulers

Anarchy - no rulers

Oh gotcha. Saifedean talked about this on his podcast. He said we’d be better off having hundreds of mini stalins controlling small areas than one Stalin controlling the entire nation.

It's definitely debatable, but I tend to agree that mini-monarchies that have to compete with each other would probably be better than the super States we have now.

I would prefer anarchy but yea I agree it would be better than what we have now
