i said politically, not economically. there aren't very many people who want to be completely responsible for their own actions and live their lives how they see fit nor do alot of people want others to do so. Even if we do achieve an ancapistan, it still remains politically impossible because there will always be those in humanity who don't want to be held responsible, even if they fail. It isn't that people aren't willing to succeed, its that they aren't willing to fail. Those who are willing to fail are responsible, those who are willing to fail & succeed will be successful endlessly. Unfortunately, even if just us ancaps set up out own little ancapistan, the next generation might become entitled through prosperity, move left & authoritarian politically, want government and then we're fucking screwed. When the government fails, the "solution" is always more government.

Yes . People love their damned security. ...and that’s if some neighboring government didn’t decide to try to expand its lands.
That doesn’t change the direction I prefer, though. Maybe there will one day be a way for people to have more power over their emotions via technology, and will not be so easily influenced by fear mongering.
