90% of the economy of ancapistan is dedicated to lawyers, pr firms, arbiters, mediators, private militaries, and an army of actuaries endlessly calculating the risks associated with enforcing a particular property claim vs. the odds of winning a dispute with the client’s estate claimants? pretenders? usurpers? after denying their security coverage because enforcement is the expensive part and anyway i’m pretty sure this whole scheme just recreates the genocidal incentive structures inherent to settler-colonialism
Isn’t anarcho-capitalism a completely conflicting ideology? How are these hierarchical corporate structures built on authoritarian principals not unjust hierarchies that need to be dismantled?
i mean it pretty much exists solely to retroactively justify/absolve themselves of genocide by asserting “homesteading” as the only valid basis for ownership, and of course private ownership as the only valid basis for control of labor, land, and resources.
so it’s a bit like the divine right of kings, clearly a bunch of bullshit that only exists to justify absolutist monarchy. it doesn’t really have to be internally consistent, people with a strong enough incentive are still going to convince themselves that some people have magical sperm.

And reputation is this nearly omnipotent force in their world, where a court being biased would immediately make them lose all their power somehow.
It does, while also atomizing it to an individual level
Truly deranged that people actually think like this
