For reference in mid-2000s I was a dyed-in-the-wool Ancap. Rothbard. Mises. the whole deal.

I don't disagree with a single thing of Ancap philosophy. However what I realized is that the majority of Ancaps don't recognize that we already live in a 100% Ancap world.

The state and all its controls are simply market forces in and of themselves.

If you waved magic wand tomorrow and dissolved the state, by 5 PM it would exist again because the market demands it.

Stop believing in the fairy tale that there are "freedom loving humans" on one side and "evil government" on the other. There are no freedom loving humans (well there are very very few of them)....humanity continuously and gladly votes to subjugate others.

The problem is spiritual not political.

I don't believe that, at least not as a complete description. I subscribe more to the Hoppean view that there are peaceful people on one side and technical problems on the other.

Thats a great description of it. I must say that seems accurate....sadly the peaceful people are a very small minority.
