RE: Can Freedom Survive Without the State?
Can Freedom survive without Criminal Justice? That is the question which must be addressed. Assuming the answer is no.... anarchos have their work cut out for themselves. Show us a Criminal Justice system which works in a county that is not publicly owned by each citizen within those borders. I'm all eyes and ears. Don't tell us. SHOW us. Center your theatre around an Agora3 so we KNOW there will be "stuff" worth taking.
Well to answer your question about freedom without justice yes of course because freedom is being allowed to do what you want and being able to defend that yourself. Now if you want me to tell you a society that has a justice system provided by a community there are tons, the problem comes though that it's paid through theft and that is what we need to change. Also without government there is a higher respect for property rights, as i doubt you would directly pay someone to break into someone's house because they smoked a plant or to tell people to pay up because they did not get a building permit to build on THEIR property. So I do believe freedom would work better without government monopolies on everything, no I see why justice might seem hard to understand without government, but what would happen is this court would deal with property rights and individual rights as that is all that exist. If you damage my property I can take you to court (Middle Man) I will tell you though I have not looked deep enough into law in anarchy yet, I think that will be my next book. Thanks for reading though and the comment!!!!!
