I am just saying I don’t know if eliminating all hierarchies is possible while humans are wired to seek social status. What mammal doesn’t use dominance to defend resources and territory? I agree that most hierarchies should be abolished but I am questioning if this is even possible in the real world.

Why would it not make sense?

Social media is built on social status and comparison.

Musk receives govenment contracts and government subsities. Trump is using the government to terrorize people. Without the government he couldn’t deport people into foreign dungeons. Banishing legal residents into a foreign dungeon without due process is illiberal and authoritarian. Restricting free trade with massive tariffs is illiberal. Using his position as president to pressure a television network into firing a host is illiberal and authoritarian. The government could stop giving Musk subsities and increase the minimum tax on his companies.

what makes anarchocapitalists neomonarchists?

I believe in universal rights.

Different ngos would compete for a govenment funding contract.

A georgist could use a land value tax to fund a minimum income program. Can social welfare programs be rolled out mostly (but not completely) outside of the state through ngos and non-profits?

So are you saying humans don’t seek social status?

There are a lot of hierarchies that are undesireable.

We should be against the concentration of political and economic power. We should try to expand both positive and negative freedoms of the individual as much as possible for as many people as possible.

How do you prevent someone from not taking ownership of something?

Musk funded a illiberal president that uses the power of the government to terrorize people with draconian anti-immigration policies and pushes highly destructive import tariffs. How much does Musk receive every year from government subsidies and government contracts?

How high did the rate of inflation get compared to other countries and what was the US rate of inflation at the end of Biden’s term in office? What did the COVID19 pandemic do to the supply chains?

What mammal doesn’t try to establish a hierarchy? We have over 300,000 years of neural programming to seek social status because it increases the odds of reproducing. I am questioning if completely eliminating all hierarchies is even possible.

Wouldn’t we just create another hierarchy in it’s place? Have fun playing wack a mole.

The Federal Reserve system is independant of the US federal government. Doesn’t the government of the UK own the Bank of England?

So that’s what is going on. Good reply.

How high can the debt to gdp get before the economic system collapses?

Capitalism would be completely different under anarcho-capitalism. I think ancaps are for using dispute resolution organizations to resolve conflicts and for a polycentric law system. Legit cryptocurrencies and legit DeFi could work well in an anarchistic society as a decentralized currency system.
