Okay, so last night, thinking about how an anarcho-capitalistic system could work was keeping me up. I was thinking that the following things should be done (not necessarily in this order):
1. Government is stripped of all authority except in enforcing victim crimes (i.e. murder, rape, theft, etc.) and courts.
2. Government is stripped of all taxing authority, meaning that all the fund for its operations must come from voluntary contributions from its users.
3. Secession rights are restored, meaning that any individual is free to not participate in the government's law enforcement agency or court system.
4. No prohibition shall be made against anyone who wishes to form or join a private law enforcement agency or court, so long as that agency abides by the law.
5. If the government's debt exceeds 10% of the average user's yearly income for longer than a 10 year period, the government will be forced to disband.
So those are the basic ideas I thought of. however, a major problem I thought of was how it would be insured that there was no bias in the courts, and how suits between persons of different law enforcement agencies would be resolved. Can anybody define what my ideology is closest to and how the court problem would be resolved? Thank you.
Sounds like pragmatically-driven minarchism with an underlying individualist anarchism.
As far as the court problem, most anarchist libertarians (and I among them) would tell you that a functioning market anarchy presupposes the general acceptance of libertarian ethics as law. This means that any court who supports an outlaw becomes an outlaw itself, and it would probably be overwhelmed by the agents of legitimate courts who would want to display their willingness and ability to enforce the law. In short, so long as the majority of people don't favor crime, there are only short-term benefits for outlaw protection, and vastly more profitable long-term benefits for outlaw suppression.
Pro Christo et Libertate integre!
