SECOND EDIT: And this will teach me to read posts carefully. Emu, you successfuly explain why anarcho-capitalism can't work: when there's free trade, semblances of authority ( read: state ) always come to exist purely through the inequalities that emerge, and the reactionary forces that maintain them to their benefit.
Yeah, I just meant that the belief doesn't really work without some cognitive dissonance, not that it couldn't exist.

Why not? I've been waiting for you to define it for a while now. I'm really not understanding how you can honestly believe this kind of society could function.

How are monopolies the result of the state, exactly? Here I was under the impression that monopolies were formed by businesses stamping out the competition in the absence of state mandate.
