Gun dealer: Sorry, kid, but once the State collapsed, inflation went wild. You're going to need triple that.

Mountie (reaches deep into his secret money pocket and pulls out everything he had)

Gun dealer: Here you go, kid.

Mountie: Thâ€”thanks, mister.

Mountie heads to test out his new gun. He has a kick in his step, now that he can finally protect himself in this Stateless Utopia.

Mountie gets to his enclave, says hi to his 12 year old bride, and loads the pistol. With a peck on her forehead, he heads out back to test the gun.

Mountette kneads the dough with excitement. Soon, there is a loud, off-color bang from the gun. Mountette rushes out to find Mountie exsanguinating. The gun was a fraud.

In this Stateless Utopia, Mountette finds herself a new man. There is nothing she could do about Mountieâ€”the EMTs had raised their rates last month and all of her money was spent. The gun dealer, unknown to Mountie, turned out to be James "The Conman" Matthews. There was no recourse for Mountie's death.

Threats of murder because you disagree with MM's beliefs that people should need to fear violence from the state because they choose to live life differently. When people face being murdered because they smoke a little weed, it's the state you should be threatening.

You can find most of it (including a bit about that song) on the wiki about him.

Another good song by them. Their music reminds me of a movie I've seen,(can't recall the name) where a man acted and sung out the story of his child abuse convictions. he played all parts, and it was brilliant.

What if the private company who supplies the police force, committed a crime? Who would prosecute them?

Oh so we would have multiple companies that took care of law enforcement?

Just like we have multiple shoe-makers, and wheat-growers.

Can't even give a good rebuttal anymore. Instead of answering such a simple question, you try to deflect it with a question.

BACK DOWN, MOUNTAINBRO. BACK DOWN.

You don't rebut questions...

I am inquiring into the nature of your question. Obviously producing shoes is different to producing wheat, which is different to producing security. I ask this question to better understand what you believe to be the essential differences between the provision of defence and the provision of other goods.

Anonymous J replied with this 14 years ago, 2 minutes later, 5 days after the original post[^] [v] #346,274

More deflection. Just give me straight answer: how is producing shoes and wheat similar to enforcing the law?

Are you having trouble reading, or just understanding?

They are similar in that they involve the allocation of scarce resources.

So you're saying that enforcing the law is the same as producing shoes? How is it? Keeping crime in cheanniston not the same as making a shoe.

Growing wheat is not the same as making a shoe, yet they operate on similar principles, in that they both involve the allocation of scarce resources.
