“The problem with anarcho-capitalism is that you eventually stop being 14”

I am so excited for the Anarcho-Capitalism Cinematic Universe.

I keep waiting for the part where he fixes anarcho-capitalism by turning it into a train.

How to survive jail: "Beat up strongest guy"

How to survive ancap: *Scam the richest person*

[IAmTheAce]

‘Taxes are bad’ _mandatory 10%_
‘Social services bad’ _subsidized daycare and cheap labor for services_

Ah the miracle of branding

"Anrcho Capitalism" aka "that thing we tried before Governments, forcing us to make governments."

[willtor]

Bold to assume the Ancap society already had an age of consent.

Adam: Sees Scientologists taking notes.
"Stop that! It's supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a blueprint!"
Turns round. Sees Mormons taking notes...

[SianaGearz]

I, for one, welcome our new 8-legged overlords.

Oh wait, anarcho...

[Timbo]

Praise our lord and saviour Stephen Montreux! Because of him I could afford to purchase a bigger tent to starve in

Anarcho-capitalism rests primarily on one thing: A complete failure to understand how power works.

[Supergforce]

Turning an Ancap society into a feudal society or theocracy sounds like a really fun role play or strategy game. Build up society and centralize power.

"You were so afraid of the government you became a stupid government!"

[alexanderbelstra]

The moment that Adam attributed charisma and oratory skills to a Molyneux stand-in I suddenly remembered that this is fiction.

[thomastrinkle]

More likely, given that in an AnCap society all land would be privatized without any “commons”, the people in those tent cities would be squatters violating some landlord’s “property rights”, and he would already have had them killed or arrested by private cops who would sell them off to a private prison.

It's really funny because this is almost exactly how Frank Fontaine took over Rapture in Bioshock.

"I gave those fools a bowl of soup and they gave me their lives."

[jovindsouza]

TL;DR - Anarcho-capitalism will always end in feudalism or a theocratic version of Big Brother.

[LifeMelody]

This HAS to become a regular series. I can sense that in the next one society will descend into a lobster monarchy.

My ex wife joined a cult. They genuinely treated time with the leaders as a commodity and would trade them amongst themselves.
I got a 30 minute meeting for 100 dollars, I had to pay their child before walking in a room with the 2 of them where they didn't listen to a word I said.

The only thing missing is the half-dozen or so others who tried to jump on the bandwagon and "mysteriously" disappeared or were "Tragically" beaten to death by a Atlasian follower who definitely took Stephan's call against that person the wrong way.
