This is the anarcho-capitalist mindset at work. Anarchy is beautiful - but fragile. Somalia is a perfect example.

In 1991, after the government collapsed, the country entered a state without a state. At first, it was booming. Things actually worked - until violent gangs slowly took over. And you probably know how the rest of that story goes, they even made a movie about it…

removed this post - good. I assume he’s younger than me, and youth tends to follow its own rules. It’s great to have young anarchists around - brave, anti-systemic, idealistic building stuff.

But if he’s older and I’m 33, that’s worse - because eventually, anarcho-capitalists have to face the fact that their worldview is naive and it’s a pitty that some of them never mature. Strongly recommend a book about it - Robert Nozick (Anarchy, State, and Utopia, 1974).

We can’t completely get rid of the state. We need it. We need the police (although we can argue), we need government, law, system (democracy / monarchy - pick your poison) - just 0.001% of what we have today.

Each Yin contains a bit of Yang, and each Yang contains a bit of Yin.
