So you don't think there is another way to prevent neighbors from robbing each other without having a government rob everyone?
Discussion
Well if rather the government be more like America 100 years ago than America today. Both are still governments. But one is better and robs citizens less. I don't believe we can go to literally zero government. Especially not in the short term.
So you believe that in order to achieve a peaceful and healthy society, we need to give a group the power to rob and murder us?
No. But we need to follow rules. How can we decide on the rules without some sort of governance? Bitcoin is technically a government that enforces rules. I mean it more in that way.
You can establish rules peacefully in your neighborhood without the need for taxation and a police force. HOAs do this all the time. They have security, even if it's just a gated community. They have certain rules that can lead to fines or eviction when violated. In a free market, you can find the type of neighborhood that fits your needs. If you need less security because you have guns and dogs, then you can save money. If you have a family, then maybe you wanna pay more for a more secure neighborhood with a security car driving around. I've lived in a community with a security car patrolling at night. Whatever service you need, you can find it cheaper and more efficient in the open market.
I agree totally. But fines and evictions are basically the same as taxation and policing. So just decentralised government?
But it's voluntary. You aren't forced to live there. When you move in to that neighborhood, you agree to their rules. In the world today, you don't agree to anything. It's forced upon you simply based on where you were born which you have no control over.
Oh well we want the same thing then haha
