1. Anarchism is simply without government
Okay. So who builds the roads and bridges? If private individuals, how do they recoup their costs?
Can you point to a successful anarchist society?
What if doing as they choose involves moving to your area and trying to take over?
Militias have hierarchy. I thought you frowned on that.
Too simplistic. I'd like details.
What else is there to say? What most people don't understand about National Anarchy is its never intended to be a HUGE thing...its intended for people in communities to take care of their own people in their community,confederacies can happen voluntarily but there would be no central government to coerce people into paying for anything,pr obeying their rules etc...there would be communities of whatever people want...people want an all black one so be it,all gay one go ahead,all muslim OK fine go ahead...voluntaryism at its best.
Okay. Seems to me, though, that like Communism, it fails to take human nature into account and is therefore doomed to failure.
Same people that build the roads now. Everything done is done for the good of the community.
But concrete, steel, and labor are all valuable. Nobody would provide materials for free, and nobody would work for free.
And if your community doesn't have a steel mill or concrete batch plant, plus all the raw materials necessary to make steel and concrete, you're kinda out of luck, aren't you?
I said SUCCESSFUL communities. None of these are successful.
Then they would be fought off. This country is large enough people wouldn't go through the trouble to try and attack another community and take it over. There won't be a centralized government so they known well enough that they would get shot for their troubles that's the great thing about self reliance. We do things our way as a community.We defend each other.
Uh huh. How you gonna defend yourself against a nation-state?
A community militia would fight together against a common enemy. There would be no professional soldiers but every day men and women who defend their community. No hierarchy involved but if the people of the community chose to elect a commander someone with previous experience then so be it.It would be up to them.
Amateur soldiers tend to die a lot when faced with professionals.
Foreign Policy,we would trade and talk with other nations like how things are supposed to be.If we are attacked we will defend ourselves. Foreign policy shouldn't be much harder to explain than that.
So, nothing concrete. Understood.
How does it fail to take human nature into account?
You said it yourself on the other thread: Human nature is hierarchical. There are natural leaders and natural followers.
Human nature is to naturally want to be near people like yourself. Oh and to continue on the roads thing I am in favor of a local currency although some NA aren't. Some are in favor of everyone sharing what they need to survive live etc...its a little to capitalistic for my taste but on a local level it seems to be OK...as long as people aren't exploiting others then things will be OK...take a factory for example it won't be owned by anyone but by the community as a whole...people will be paid the local currency the same currency to everyone everything equal.
Everyone paid equal wages? Don't you think a doctor, say, should command more compensation than a ditch-digger?
A much simpler life.Grow your own food,take care of each other look out for each other.
That's fine, in very small zero-technology agrarian societies. In the modern world, it's simply not going to work. You can't build your own cell phone, your own tractor, your own diesel fuel to run the tractor.
Everything you espouse has been tried and been found wanting. You can tell because nobody's doing it now.
