RE: Serious question: about a voluntaryist/anarchist society

in #voluntaryism8 years ago

Great question, politely worded - and I see that it never actually got an answer, except simply to reassert that once we have no government things will somehow be perfect, so we have to keep aiming for that goal. Call me a fuddy-duddy, but honestly I'm a little shocked by the prevalence of "voluntaryism" and anarchy on this site, given the apparently knock-down objection you put so well. There will always be coercion at least as long as there are scarce resources and humans are humans. We might say that government is the worst solution to this problem, except for all the others.

Sort:  

I suapect that nobody answered my question because the answer is "it's easy! The rest of the people would just band together, form an organization that can coordinate against the would-be coercers, and shut them down."

In other words, we'd just form a government. :)

Thanks for your reply. I may be posting more of this kind of stuff if Steem keeps acting like an anarchist echo chamber; follow me if you want in!

Already followed.
