I don’t see how that logic could be anti state though. By that logic the state deserves to control you because they figured out the game and tough titties on you buddy 😉
See what happens if you try to take it from them
please tell me how I’m wrong? Ive been trying to see how this works since I joined hive and was introduced to the idea of ancap. I agree with the idea of voluntary association, but I don’t see how a small group who end up own everything doesn’t become a state similar to what we have now.
The idea is just that that won’t happen because “free market good”? That’s it?
The problem is that the population has let it get to this point where the government and big players control everything, and they are perfectly fine with it until something effects them. It's sickening to be honest. If the population would go out and build their own wealth instead of sitting back waiting on someone else to make them rich or to give them a piece of the pie, then we wouldn't be in this situation. But it's human nature, you are going to have sleeping sheep, and then you will have wolves. The ones crying are the sheep that don't know how to do anything for themselves. Crypto was supposed to give us a way to opt out, but people turned it into a childish fiat casino and beg daddy government to pump their bags instead of doing what I am trying to do which is to build an alternate economy. I thought there would have been more people in this space that thought the same way, but most are still sleeping and only care about fiat number go up.
I don’t see myself as either. I’ll work with what I can work with.
I am for the decentralization of power. Period. I don’t think getting there will be a clear cut path. I think both sides have things to offer when you filter out the crazies whose voices get amplified by algorithms and media and who the opposing side always focuses on.
Human nature acts differently in different circumstances. Growing ecosystems that encourage both self sovereignty AND compassion is the only answer I can think of, and it’s gonna take a lot of trial and error, but I think we are on the right path (me and you).
The more experimentation and the more goodwill between people with differing views, the better. That’s all I really care about.

I basically agree with you here although I try not to look down on people (sometimes I can’t help it 😆) because I see communists, free market capitalists, and traditional moderates as equally prone to “sheepishness” in general.
I think the old capitalism vs. communism paradigm is outdated and we are living in a centralist vs. decentralist paradigm now. Both Communists and Capitalists have the capacity to be centralists, as most are now, because even individualism and the idea of competition can be manipulated into promoting centralist policies.

Yeah, you are right about that.
