    These minarchists …
    These minarchists are saying what they believe is the appropriate role of government, anarcho-capitalists believe that there is no appropriate role for government. Wtf are you talking about?

    4 minarchists argue …
    4 minarchists argue that the state should defend the interests of the rich. That would be the appropriate title. This video is just as straw man as it gets.

    @globbo100 What do …
    @globbo100 What do you think we have now? Who do you think “governs” the globe? Landless peasants? What do you think happened during the American revolution or the enlightenment in general? The land owners overthrew the feudal system and set up their own government. Over time they colluded with each other and created monopolies/corporations and here we are. Capitalists or land owners as yo call them created the modern state and the mess we see now. You cannot separate capitalism from the state.

    Why you talking …
    Why you talking about the state like it only possibly serves certain subjective interests?
    The need for something like the state rests in the fact that people generally act to further their own interest even if it infringes on others’.
    Wouldn’t ideal be some sort of very limited state that upholds relatively objective principles? I know that’s the justification for what we have, but remedy isn’t getting rid of it, but rather riduculing the propoganda & illegitimacy of the subjective interests.

    Why then do …
    Why then do capitalists oppose direct democracy? Because it would not allow the minority upper class to rule the majority working class. You’re a dolt Kurtyoungblood. Thou shalt not have no idea.

    “…capitalists …
    “…capitalists have always known democracy is a threat to their ability to subjugate mankind under their oppressive boot.”

    I said John Jay’s …
    I said John Jay’s statement came close, and only if he’s referring to land owners.John Jay may have unwittingly thrown his support for a stateless society with that rather cryptic statement of his. Btw, there’s a reason why it’s not called “anarcho-statism”,but instead “anarcho-capitalism”.That’s because “anarcho-statism is an oxymoron.”

    “Majority tyranny …
    “Majority tyranny is good?”

    You’ve fallen victim to propaganda. They hated direct democracy because it was/is a DIRECT threat to the rule of the minority. Direct decentralized democracy with the means of production under worker control IS anarchism. You advocate capitalism and capitalists have always known democracy is a threat to their ability to subjugate mankind under their oppressive boot. Forever. And we will remain forever oppressed so long as people like you exist en mass. Education?

    No he’s in part …
    No he’s in part showing how capitalism cannot exist without a state to first legitimize and then enforce the capitalists subjective claim to anything and everything- theft. The founding fathers knew this as did Ayn Rand as did Rothbard . So called “anarcho” capitalism also depends on a state- it should rightly be called “anarcho’ statism. The private for profit state of “anarcho” capitalists, if it ever manifests, will be overthrown by the workers after the on earth it creates is rejected.
