Why Anarcho Capitalism is impossible

[RandRevolution]

If you have no military then another country's government will take over your land and all of a sudden you're under control of a super tyrannial government. Civilian militas can't compete with organized taxpayer funded militaries.

Have Anarcho Capitalists never considered this?

Umm, no they have never considered that obvious question .

You forgot that wars stimulate the economy./s

Fighting off the biggest, most heavily taxpayer-funded, most organized military the world has ever seen for over eleven years now...

Robotics can make the anarcho-capitalist dream a reality. LOL

And the Soviets for almost a decade.

And the Soviets for almost a decade.

Admittedly they have the most advantageous terrain east of Switzerland. That said, it'll teach the OP never, ever to say 'impossible'...

And if you don't have a uncharted mountain range to hide in?

And if you don't have a uncharted mountain range to hide in?

Ask the North Vietnamese.

You know very little, would you like to learn?

Yes. Yes we have.

Nah, he's still too busy trying to play 'gotcha troll' and getting got himself.

He might come down off his high horse after a few more of these threads, though...

 

[AuH20]

Ask the North Vietnamese.

The North Vietnamese were saved by political treachery and MiC shenanigans. In a total war scenario focused on Hanoi and Haiphong Harbor, they would have been lucky to last a year.

How much money does the US taxpayer pay for the largest, most technologically advanced military humanity has ever known? How efficient is that spending? How efficient is that military?

Okay. I'll bite.

They have. Time and time again. Would you like a reading list?

Let's open up our imagination and find ways to solve these kinds of problems. Entrepreneurs tend to be good at this.

Have you considered the lack of incentive and surety in invading an area with no government, tax structure or knowledge of enemy weaponry?

In a nuclear scenario they'd have been lucky to last an hour.

The OP said 'impossible', and got pwned. All the rest is lame excuse making--of the exact same sort we've been hearing from the MIC and the government since long before 9/12/2001...

Hmmmm, really? How much do you know about the Korean war? We tried that total war scenario and China called our bluff.

There is no military in the world than can defeat, without prohibitive losses, a local force with popular support. They best they can hope for is to win battles.

Ok. Ask the American colonists facing the most powerful military known to that time. Or is there an excuse for every example where armed peasants defeated the mighty superpower?

It's not impossible, but not likely. With favorable terrain and a robotic arsenal, you could theoretically maintain a thriving anarcho-capitalist state.
