Atheist/liberal correlation

[abaris]

In my opinion a true sceptical dissection of government naturally coverts one at least as far as libertarianism as hopefully to full Anarcho-Capitalism.  Just my view of course.

Bold mine. Hopefully so is my short answer.

Are you serious? Anarcho capitalism? Have you actually thought that through? Everyhing in the hands of a select few, since what we observe now is already more and more the parody of a free market. At least in certain market segments there are only two, maybe three competitors.

Now let's take that a step further. The road you're driving or walking on. You'd had to pay for that. No taxes anymore in anarcho capitalism, remember? So, company X owns that road and since they're paying for it's upkeep you'd have to pay for that if you're setting foot or wheel on it. Whatever they charge, if it's the only road leading to your desired target. Maybe there's another road and that's owned by company Y. Maybe they're competing, maybe they're in league and charge the exact same amount. Maybe the second road is longer and costs you additional time and fuel. Oh, fuel by the way, is no longer subsidised by the state, since it's, remember, anarcho capitalism. So the fuel companies charge whatever they see fit. Landlines, tough luck again. Your house is in a certain region and that region is owned by company Z. So, as long as you're not moving, you'd have to pay whatever they're charging. Maybe there's a breakin or home invasion. Call the police, maybe? Well that will cost you, since the police is owned by yet another company and they will check if it's worth the effort. Have you bought your platinum package already?

Hell, yes, anarcho capitalism would make for paradise on earth.
