Ask a genuine anarcho-capitalist anything* - *ideally where a libertarian framework is relevant

[Meriasek]

Thanks for the fortune cookie, but if all you've got is "this will never happen lol", then you've got nothing to contribute here. If you're not here to ask, get out.

Aight, so how does one create the perfect ancap human, and how is it better than the perfect commie human? In the end, there is a singular human ideology that makes everyone happy. Why is one better than the other? You're gonna say that the perfect commie human is based on abandoning all property and thus less free since he cannot own anything, but if we assume the perfect commie human society where everyone agrees with the ideology, there's no problem with that.
Whether abolishing all property whatsoever or making absolutely everything property, both require a uniform humanity since neither can really tolerate dissent beyond a very limited scale.

I am confused. What is stopping me from cracking your head open and stealing your food?

Nothing, it is allowed, expected and encouraged to crack open the head of any anarcho-retards you come across. They are considered an invasive species, stamp them out if you see them.

Parents don't magically owe their children goods simply by virtue of their existence. Rights are not claims upon other people's resources, they are boundaries against aggression. Children have the right to not be starved, beaten, or blocked from receiving help. If parents refuse to provide, they forfeit guardianship to others who will.

OK, I'm not sure whether you're answering yes, or no.

Again, the question is: Do parents have a positive obligation to feed, clothe, or educate their child?

Saying

Parents don't magically owe their children goods simply by virtue of their existence. Rights are not claims upon other people's resources, they are boundaries against aggression.

seems to indicate that parents DO NOT have a positive obligation to feed, clothe, or educate their child.

However, you then state:

Children have the right to not be starved, beaten, or blocked from receiving help.

If "children have the right to not be starved", then it would seem that parents DO have a positive obligation to, at the very least, feed their children.

This:

If parents refuse to provide, they forfeit guardianship to others who will.

again, disregard this, because "others who will" are a third party, and we're not talking about third parties. We're talking about parents, children, and the rights/duties that tie them together.

(if it helps, consider that "a right to X" can be reformulated as someone else's "duty to X". This can include negative rights - someone else must refrain from X - and potentially positive rights - someone else must X. If a child has "a right to not be starved", does this mean a parent has a duty to feed his child?)


If you'd really like to discuss third parties, then the followup question would be: do other people have a positive obligation to feed, clothe, or educate someone else's children?

(from the looks of it, it seems you may believe that the "right not to be starved" is a purely negative right, and that we do NOT in fact have any real obligation to feed children - our own or anybody else's. Something which you may have not yet considered, or which you may understandably be hesitant to state clearly.)

There is nothing to be gained by circling the drain with hecklers who mistake sneers for thought. If you have a genuine question, you know where to find me.

I want to get back to how children would work out in an anarcho-capitalism society. Does your country have something like Child Protective Services, where the state would step in if it is discovered that the child(ren) are mistreated or abused under the care of their parents or caretakers?

Do you believe in corporate punishment? I ask because some parents would discipline their children differently than others. Say somebody observes a child being disciplined in a waythey don't agree with, how would your society handle that?

How about education? You're talking about insurance, lawyers. You'd need to be educated on that. How would that work? There's of course the option for homeschooling for children's developments if you refuse public/private schooling. I'm asking about learning a trade.

Sometimes in life you're just being a retard. And people have a duty to call you a retard.

Just because they won't spend 40 paragraphs on retarded tautology doesn't mean you're being bullied. It just means you're being a retard.

Do children have property rights, such as to food and clothing, that they have not acquired through charity or through their own economic initiative?

I want to say no on the fact that they may not even fully grasp the concept of property rights.

Who runs the Ancap internet?

I'm guessing something like this. But I'm thinking: how would services like Internet be maintained? Data caps already exist supposedly because of congestion.

As far as I understand it, children have the right to not be starved or tortured or put to bed when they don't want to, but parents also don't have the obligation to provide anything for them. So in Ancapistan if parents would simply neglect their child, someone else would have to step in and take care of the child. But since there is no obligation to do so it would be up to the kindness of them.

glad someone else was here to bludgeon this retard over the head with this simple question since i missed the thread.

He’ll say no because AnCaps believe in “muh rights” but never responsibilities.

How to deal with AnCaps and all other anarchists.

Nobody's "obligated" to do anything unless there's a consequence or benefit for them. At least that's how I see it.

What’s the difference?

Doesn't matter. Ancap world views are simplified down into a minimal understanding. Bullet points that fit on a notecard. They'll do everything in their power to make them the same thing, or say, "uh, well, make private corporation handle it instead of government"

lefty ideas like this never work.
we can solve most of the government issues the world is facing with racism and sexism.

Would you be so kind to define the term "capitalism". I'm not interested in an explanation, provide a statement that distinguishes the term from other terms and shows that its a unique term for a unique distinguishable phenomena.

Regarding borders, in libertarianism every border is private. You can exclude anyone from your property and you can join with others to set mutual rules of entry. What doesn't exist is a central bureaucracy that forces one border policy on millions of unwilling people.
And it's worth noticing that inversion. Was it ancaps who flooded Europe and America with mass migration? Were ancaps responsible for wars abroad, welfare promises at home, and decrees that nobody can opt out of? Or have ancaps been busy advocating that every property owner controls their borders directly, instead of hoping and coping that politicians won't sell them out?

I know I'm a bit late on this, but in our ideal world, there wouldn't be any welfare programs that incentive the mass migrations we're seeing rn
