There are people on Sup Forums RIGHT NOW who are not anarcho-capitalists. How can we fix this? Perhaps by making an argument that Sup Forums can't defeat

You're arguing from a moral rather than an utilitarian perspective.
This makes you open to attacks from people who don't act on the same principles.
QED you're both losing from a moral and an utilitarian standpoint as your people suffer from foreign aggressors.

And this is why I generally don't discuss politics with anyone in a serious manner. The only way for true freedom to last is for the people to be morally perfect, which requires perfect people. Otherwise you need govt in order to try and minimize injustice.
The nature of the problem forces us to go deeper-- to look into the hearts of man. It makes us correct ourselves before we can possibly hope for a social policy which will be a real solution.

Because I own the land and want to continue living on it under my own rules. My neighbors would have the same incentives. However, if they want to sell their land to mercenaries who will order them around or kick them off, then that's up to them.
William Roberts
Yeah, they have those edgy quotes from time to time and lots of people pretend there's such a thing as "left-libertarianism" and "right-libertarianism", when in fact the ideology is exactly the same.

>polycentric law And on what basis/authority should this law be founded? And how will we prevent those in office from corrupting law? And why ought we have polycentric laws instead of something else?

>Complete contraditction. Every time. You just don't get it lol.
In a free "Natural Order" society all land and scarce resources would be privately owned. This means that every street, every plot of land that is being used for anything would belong to someone or a group of people. You would have to abide by their rules, so as a matter of fact, in a free society every street would become a border. You don't want niggers in your street/business/restaurant/etc? Get them out, it's your property. Under the current context, right now, the streets are forcefully open and every undesirable can roam freely in front of your home, leaving you with nothing you can do. Such a situation would no longer be a reality under a private law society.
Atlantic Station has private police, private streets and private rules (law) enforced by private security. The streets are owned by an association of property owners and are open access, protected by private security that enforces dress codes (decency) and many other rules to keep out uncivilized people (i.e. gang niggers).

Take the money printing advantage away from the Federal Reserve and don't give it exclusively to someone else.

It is both morally and practically superior though.
Everywhere there is more freedom has more prosperity than places of total control.
Government power isnt like a spice you put into your cooking that with the right amount makes it perfect. It's a poison. Even a tiny bit makes you worse off.
Plus Ancap is LITERALLY perfect for anyone.

Still didn't answer my question.
Let's assume that you are able defend your property with 100% efficency. So what? You can't live your whole life there and have to access other people's property from time to time. What if they allow niggers? Go to another one? Make your own? What if the others simply collide behind your back to drive everyone who doesn't allow niggers out of business?
Ancaps frown upon colletivism but unironically believe that in their wonderful utopia everyone will think alike.
Charles Bailey
that one insight is so obvious yet ancaps can't figure it out
that's why it's almost certain that they are extreme autists who can't understand even the basics of human behavior.

How is it a strawman?
If you want the slightest chance of your ideology succeeding you must be able to handle criticism and it is completely reasonable to question how you will get people to abide by AC principles due to the enormous human capacity for crime and corruption.
Nicholas Baker
You don't. You fight. That doesn't mean that statism suddenly becomes moral.
Being attainable or not is another question. The point is states are imoral.
Xavier Martinez
It is a strawman. What is polycentric law? What are rights enforcement agencies? Also a strawman. The position isn't that no one will use aggression. The position is that no one is allowed to use aggression. As explained above, there would be mechanisms in place to prevent crime and punish those who commit it.
Xavier Bailey
How are these people going to eat and pay for electricity and everything else? Will they go around with guns everywhere for everything?
Do you think the rest of the society wont want to stop them?
Remember AnCap will only occur in a high IQ and respectful society. You have just made up a situation that would firstly never happen and secondly even if it did happen it isnt viable.
Nicholas Collins
Never said I agreed with Utilitarianism. I think it's a stupid moral philosophy. Most Sup Forums approved would be Aristotle's virtues. So if you want to convince them use that. Your argument used individual freedoms which, again, is more Kantian based. Besides your first point is a non sequitur. Just because Utilitarianism is non-moral doesn't mean ethics MUST be deontological.
Blake Gonzalez
To argue against property rights is a performative contradiction as pointed out in a deductive argument from a priori knowledge by Professor Hans Hermann Hoppe.

>You have just made up a situation that would firstly never happen
Other than the entirety of human history
Property rights only exist because the state enforces them
without codified law and a legal system anyone can claims anything else is their property and murder you for it. Once they murder you it effectively becomes their's at least until someone else kills them for it

Xavier Morris
>Minarchist leaning an-cap here. Trans-monarchocapitalist neanderthal-kin here, you have no idea how ancapism is supposed to work.
Ancap is the theory that explains that everything that the state does is either undesirable or would be done better privately. Security services would exist, the only difference is that the state would not have the de-facto monopoly on it and it would be provided privately and probably at a fair price, as opposed to the current coercion-funded overly inefficient and expensive state apparatus. In short, you are mistaking ancapism for other forms of anarchism, which would be the ones that would reply to that picture with "lol there's no way that would happen once everyone is free". Ancap is a system in which security, police and courts are organized in a way that no state is required and none of their services are paid for forcefully. People that thinks alike would generally tend to get closer. Without state censorship you would be free to advocate for segregation, which is perfectly compatible with libertarianism and which personally I believe lots of people would happily partake in to in order to ostracize and remove harmful elements from their society. No matter how many niggers there are, if they can't buy their groceries anywhere they will have to get out or starve. In ancapism, for example, you could form an association that promotes that business owners stop providing services to gang people, negroes, and other undesirables and convince people to boycott places who do, so in some cases the store owners would have to decide whether to serve white people (which is more often the majority and the wealthier, more spending ones) or negroes. You could also convince the other property owners of your neighborhood to enforce racial segregation in the streets surrounding your properties that you all privately own and convince others to do so.
Also remember the fact that blacks cannot survive without the white man.

Enforcement is just another word for aggression... as long as it's done by state according to an-caps. There are forms of aggression that are legal and should fall under holy right of private property.
For example person A buys legally all land surrounding city B. Then blows up all roads and lets say water mains to city unless they pay him toll for everything going trough his land. Drinking water now over 9000k per gallon and toll on food 9000k per meal.
>What are rights enforcement agencies?
Violent mob, once one of rights enforcement agencies has monopoly, everyone else loses their rights. If someone tries to set up competition... he will be crushed by force.

Christian Rogers
It's not our fault that you don't know what the words do actually mean when you use them.
Communism is the ideology that promotes the abolition of private property and the state. If you're thinking of the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, the word you're looking for is socialism.
Communism is the stuff hippies practice when they get in communes where all the property is commonly owned and everyone works for free. Think of a kibbutz.
Seriously, learn your terms, we aren't coming here to meme.
Isaiah Gutierrez
I prefer a republic but yes
our government is still in the people's control contrary to popular beliefs. One dedicated annoying cunt could undermine the federal government and the entire political system from the last half century.

And history has already shown that stateless societies lose out to state societies collective action

Yeah I know. My point is that these people's living conditions are going to be far beneath the rest of AnCapWorld, so why would they bother committing this act of violence.
The point is that anyone or any group who did something like this would be completely ousted from society.
>Since they don't have overwhelming force they will be killed as well

>collective societies already wiped out all the stateless agrarian societies a long time ago because collective action is far more effective than individual action.
AnCap societies DO work collectively though, they trade and interact every day. If invaded they would also band together to fight off the enemy.
PLUS a completely free society would develop technology at an alarming rate, thus meaning we would have far superior weapons and defensive technology than any possible invaders could compete with.
