Why Anarcho-Capitalism Is a Canard and Its Implications for Atheism

[log]

A propertyless system whereby men have all things in common and none withholds nor threatens.  For such a system to work, human nature must be transformed, and that goes into religious claims.

What christen religious claims?

That Jesus Christ can transform the nature of individual people such that they no more have fear, but love everyone.
Love is characterized by the behavioral rule "all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them," building others up at your expense.
Fear is characterized by the behavioral rule of building yourself up at others' expense.

Hierarchy is the result of fear, which is both an emotional matrix, an ideology, and a rule of behavior.  We yield to the strong because it's better than dying, ultimately, and we oppress the weak so that we may negate the threat they represent to our security.  Another way to put it is that we are trying to impose our wills on the environment and others in order to attain security, and it doesn't work.  The libertarians are simply consistent and clear in their reasoning, which made them a ripe target for disproof.

Hierarchy is not the result of fear. I have no idea where you got that from. It's simply a reflection of status in society, which is reflected in business and government. Like it or not, people will always find a way to rule over the common man.  Free market anarchy appeals to the former, while anarcho-socialism is a appeals to the latter. Both are utopian, and both are bullshit.

I got the idea from observing people acting to preserve or increase their security in the face of pain and apparent scarcity of resources, resulting in hierarchy.  I noted that among those who love each other, there is no hierarchy.
