Default Re: Possible problems with anarcho-capitalism

The law?

Huh? The law says murder is illegal, but murders still happen. Bank robberies still happen. The law does not physically prevent anything.

Furthermore, anarcho-capitalism is *not* lawless. I asked earlier in this thread why thinks a state is required for law, but recieved no answer.

There would have to be some kind of police force to enforce this. There are no taxes, so your police force is privately funded. Presumably, your police force can enforce whatever laws it wants. The one that gets the most money will have the most power and have the most say.

Now, if the demand is sensible, there is no problem. I'll support a police force that protects me from getting mugged on the street, having my house or property vandalized, etc. But what if we're talking about a bunch of KKK kooks who want to see blacks, jews and homosexuals wiped out? There's a demand for it, and if they're willing to pay an organization for black/jew/queer-free streets, then serious problems could arise.
