The statist system works because most people are bad, and if most people are bad, it is impossible for anarcho-capitalism to work, just as communism does not work. Bad people do not respect private property, which is why anarcho-capitalism would not work, and bad people do not care about the common good, which is why communism does not work.

The state is just a bunch of well-organized thieves. In an anarcho-capitalist world, it wouldn't take them long to get back together and extort the rest of the world. View quoted note →

It seems to me to be a combination of "strong men make good times, good times make weak men", combined with technology that makes life easier, combined with purposeful sabotage of classical liberal education (the trivium and quadrivium.) The elites give their own children a true education while the plebs get divisive racialist schooling that promotes ignorance as fashionable.

If you think statism "works" currently, that is a low standard for "working". Why assume anarcho-capitalism would be worse? Or the reverse: assume perfect freedom. Assume most people are bad. How would it be an improvement to give some of the bad people super powers?
