I guess so, though there are a lot of examples in history where you ended up with stable feudal-like states. The idea that anarcho-capitalism would produce an optimal equilibrium seems ahistorical to me. I don't think humans have figured out an ideal system of governance, but a strong central government constrained by the rule of law and some democratic checks and balances seems to be the best we've got.
- icebraining 11y agoWhich examples are you thinking of where a anarcho-capitalist society ended up as a stable feudal-like state? I'm not saying it wouldn't happen, I just don't remember such an ancap society existing in the first place.
- guelo 11y agoI'm sorry, I didn't meant to say that anarcho capitalism specifically has historically end up in a feudal state. What I meant is that a lot of historical societies, and modern ones for that matter, end up with strongmen oppressing the majority of people so it's something to be very wary about.
