RE: Solutions to bringing about a stateless society part one of many: agorism

in #anarchy • 6 years ago

It's not about the absence of authority and hierarchies. It's about the legitimacy of those, and the need for consent from the individual to be governed by others. Here are some examples of societies that came close to a stateless society and/or polycentric law:

  2. Early Ireland: https://mises.org/library/private-law-emerald-isle
  3. The old West USA: https://mises.org/system/tdf/3_1_2_0.pdf?file=1&type=document

    ...thank you, thank you, thank you.

    These are perfect examples of the best of man.

    I will try to do a post on this....I will do some research on the Irish one, the Icelandic one isn't as relevant.
    (population numbers make a difference - even socialism works in small numbers! lol)

    ... what great systems.

    ..As a leading authority on Irish law has written, "There was no legislature, no bailiffs, no police, no public enforcement of justice.… There was no trace of State-administrated justice."

    just....wow.
