Anarcho-Monarchy is an oxymoron

We will not have private armies necessarily (not saying they can't form) as a form of defense in Ancapistan, but rather private militias. Militias are MUCH cheaper to operate, can operate in a guerilla warfare scenario relatively easily, and have a greater motivation than just material resources. That being said, the population will be armed and freedom oriented, ready to neutralize any form of warlord or statist taking over the ancap society. And companies will not form private armies on their own due to the sheer cost of maintaining an army, there is a reason that high taxes are necessary to run a public military or police force. The only way a warlord could take over an AnCap society is if the people let them. And before you bring up Somalia as an example, Somalia actually was improving in every quantifiable metric except for literacy (they were in fact improving faster than their neighbors) until the UN took over and established de facto statist control, and that lead to the rise of warlords in rural areas. So we can empirically see anarcho-capitalism, polycentric law, and spontaneous order in action and being more effective than top-down statist organization, yet people will say that "warlordz vil tak ovarrrr!!!"

I fully agree with Hubbard here, prisons are a VERY ineffective and unfair method of handling criminal activity. They are 100% a product of statism and actually breed crime rather than stop it.

The Austrian school prioritizes extremely minimalist or no government intervention in the economy. Free banking, exchange/ownership of property, and movement are all emphasized in the Austrian school. The Chicago school is a bit more restrictionist than the Austrian school, but not by much. They usually have minimalist central banking, regulations on exchange and ownership of property. Other differences tend to be the views on business cycle theories, theories of value, etc. I am an Austrian myself BTW

AnCaps don't believe in the Constitution anyways because it is a form of social contract

Pakistan, you can legally own a rocket launcher or machine gun, start up a small business without a permit and taxes are VERY low. There is a massive language and cultural barrier though, the drivers are horrendous and there are sanitation/cleanliness issues. The best bet is to go to the rural US, buy up some land, and start up an "Ancapistan" from scratch

You just said it yourself, a voluntary commune isn't communism, because the individual is still free to do whatever he wants with his labor. Therefore, it is still an individualist/libertarian system and therefore, not on the left.

Jo Jorgensen said it best "Prostitution is basically capitalism and sex, which of these two are you against? I'm for both"

I guess proper education on free market economics and individual liberty is the only way to prevent the herd mentality from spreading in a libertarian society

Simple, the non-libertarians will live in an absolutist or communist system instead of our individualist system

A lot Trump supporters are libertarians, they just don't know it yet. Granted, another half of them are absolutist scum
