Everybody having guns probably won't stop mass shootings from happening, but it would stop people from breaking into houses and stealing while people are in houses.

Do you mean freedom from government?
Rhizomorph13 Wrote:How could the state of freedom from government be maintained?I don't think this question really needs an answer, unless you specify which threats you think there are to that state of freedom.
Rhizomorph13 Wrote:How would anarchy handle externalities from production?As if the government were doing that well? When has in human history government stood up for the animals that need to be killed for people to eat meat? The government is generally making meat less expensive (via the subsidies), rather than more expensive, thus increasing the externalities of the lives and suffering of those animals, yet alone the environmental costs of meat. It also makes nuclear energy more expensive by over-regulating it (nuclear energy is by far the cleanest and the safest form of energy there is, yet it's also the most regulated one), thus increasing the externalities from the less clean sources of energy.
Rhizomorph13 Wrote:How would anarchy prevent strong gangs (A form of government) from forming?First of all, strong gangs appear to be forming more often under more repressive governments. Strong gangs were a huge problem in the Middle Ages, when the society was much more policed than it is today. Second, in an anarchy, when there is no restriction on people having weapons, it will be very hard for those gangs to actually enforce their rule.
Then, again, why would they even try to do that? Why would somebody try to have slaves, when he obviously can make more money by starting a business in which people would work for wages, and he gets some profits. He doesn't then need to waste money catching the slaves that escaped.
Sure, there may be some insane person who would try to do that. But why would he then get a support from other people in the society? Assuming, of course, those people weren't indoctrinated in schools to hate economic and social freedoms.
Athene Wrote:Yes, well to to the average YT viewer it will just appear that you can use Google Translate.I thought it was a well-known thing Google Translate generally produces ungrammatical gibberish when translating to Latin. When translating from Latin to English, it does slightly better, but it's still often not even understandable. In my experience, Google Translate usually produces intelligible (but usually not grammatical) results when translating from Croatian to English, but it produces a lot worse results when translating from English to Croatian.
Athene Wrote:Anarchism is a extraordinarily tough sell because a great number of people are quite convinced that police officers are assigned to function as peace officers, and as a system, most believe that anarchism is devoid of any semblance of structure, principles, or accountability.I think it's quite clear from the English-language memes I've included in the video what is my response to that argument.
