Oddbean new post about login | logout What do you think rights are? You are born with the rights already, you don't need any government to "give you rights". So no, we don't "want all the rights", we already have them. https://image.nostr.build/7a091559c412d2acbe91bb8291eef83c7826889e9c3fb3a72e439b3605e473e9.png https://image.nostr.build/6f3e6a2db20ce4684bd3d0b1586e5d547185180e569991d5ab854c27ab43d69d.png https://image.nostr.build/a1d047d29bd138c25cb0753af6a8be569993c4a5bcd32a0cc43c8d0501270c94.png
Love that table! Here's the book length version - The Economics of Organised Crime https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/bafykbzacecpe7xy6cixrf6iztfimue6ri6ajbs5brf7q5jragxs4k6losdmag?filename=Gianluca%20Fiorentini%20%28editor%29%2C%20Sam%20Peltzman%20%28editor%29%20-%20The%20Economics%20of%20Organised%20Crime-Cambridge%20University%20Press%20%281997%29.pdf The authors are Statists and would be appalled to be linked here, but once you see the comparison you can't un-see it. nostr:nevent1qqs23cuexr5dhrdvan72jcxzx6ltkzfwycrser40hez7hf7lu8gjhmgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyze0s8glln9djcqh4r8qxplz7am6ga4w6nd0y2y5ky64ctyca6sjqqcyqqqqqqgkkmu5u
Even if I don't agree with complete stateless society but I don't think you are standing on a wrong side of the history.
We can already see the world as a Stateless world if we begin considering the current governments as very old companies that got really good at brainwashing the masses. The natural evolution is opting out of them, and opting in alternatives. Oligarchy may make a comeback, then cooperativism, then totally decentralized free market, then complete autonomy of the individual. It will be gradual and many systems will be overlapping for a long time. Meanwhile the State cult will insist that they're still relevant and "the only" system in place.
