I didn't ask ancaps to explain how stateless contract enforcement would be perfect.
I asked them to explain how it would work at all.
Their response was: it won't (and it doesn't matter).
Anarchy cannot exist at all, except as a (nasty) transitional phase between the collapse of one state and the emergence of another.Why don’t you share some of your proposals to fix this joke of a system with regards to contract enforcement.. or any other matter for this time?
As for states, the one most likely to respect property rights is a monarchy, then an oligarchy, with democracy in last place.
LOL, what do you think the state is? How did it come about in the first place?Because clearly the warlord, not propped up by the supposed legitimacy of the state, could acquire such power without a bullet.
Again, that's not a solution for contract enforcement; that's an acknowledgement that it won't work.How about a simple version. I own me. I own my $#@!. You own you. You own your $#@!. Do business with who you know, with who has a reputation for holding their word. There would be market solutions such as arbitration, various ratings/reviews, collateralized and/or insured loans. The solutions are endless.
And, in the bigger picture, outside contract enforcement, there's the impossibility of anarchy altogether.
There can be no market solutions to violence as the market presupposes the absence of violence.
