Anarcho capitalism is a good goal and likely a necessary evolution in humanity, but the only way we can get there is by solving problems. Mainly technologically. No political means will ever create this reality. Which is why we are so centered around cypherpunkism.
Discussion
Exactly. Restore individual freedom in cyberspace and thus begin to restore individual freedom in meatspace.
CYPHERPUNK TECH IS THE NON POLITICAL INEVITABLE EVOLUTIONARY PATH TO ANARCHO CAPITALISM MAKING THE STATE OBSOLETE THROUGH INNOVATION.
IT'S A DIRECT ACTION APPROACH BYPASSING THE POLITICAL ARENA ENTIRELY.
ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT IN TIME BITCOIN IS POLITICS AND POLITICS IS STILL BITCOIN.. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE..
SOCIETY WILL READ ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE US IN THE HISTORY BOOKS π
I have this idea.
It's been taking ahold of my mind. Pls tell me I'm wrong.
I see a political party where representatives have no voice. They get elected but every vote is put through to members via an app.
Basically removing agency (and hopefully corruption) from representatives. They can't sell their influence if they have none.
Why am I a retard ?
Lots of threads you could pull here, but my first thought is highlighting the difference between a representative as a delegate vs. a representative as a trustee. The former gauges a representative on how closely they follow the will of the people on any immediate day. The latter is basically the idea that the representative should stick to his principles regardless of the whims of the public. If a free-market libertarian is elected and the public suddenly thereafter demands socialism, is it the obligation of the representative to support socialism? Or is it the obligation of the populace to vote for a socialist in the next election?
Your proposal takes representative as a delegate to the extreme. Let's walk through some likely outcomes:
1. People are fickle about policy because their preferences adjust to immediate circumstances. You can imagine some pretty incoherent voting records coming out of that system. You can also imagine contradictory policies being passed.
2. People rarely wish to take the long hard path needed for prosperity and are more likely to vote for short term relief at the expense of the future.
3. Putting every issue to a vote by the populace means people need to be experts in every field or face voting based on vibes.
4. People are unlikely to vote on every single legislative issue, meaning the boring industry specific issues are likely to be unrepresentative of the public at large and far more representative of certain interest groups. You can bet industries will vote to enrich themselves at the cost of the public.

Exactly π Only action and tech can get us to that big goal, politics alone is just talk πͺ
Ancapistan can only become reality because of a lack of political means applied to and, more importantly, accepted by large amounts of people so yes, we'll need innovation to deflect control since we lack the power to openly defend against it.

Good goal according to who? Who wil provide universal, unbiased justice and enforce laws fairly?
Technology like AI cannot solve social and ethical problems like wars or conflict resolution which requires political negotiation.
AnCap sounds good on paper, and you know what else sounds good on paper? Communism π
