That's what I never understood about the "libertarian" concept of utopia, those who call themselves "anarcho-capitalists".

(Well, silly me, trying to understand something so patently idiotic.)

They seriously claim that you can have all power of violence monopolized by private goon squads, that each town can freely contract with the squad of their choice to provide policing ("free market", right). If a town's goon squad wasn't providing acceptable service, you can just not renew the contract and hire somebody else. And then if I were the leader of that goon squad, I'd meekly accept my firing and go away because some impotent fat pig (who just happens to be rich but physically helpless) ordered me to as a common vagrant.

They actually claim to believe this.

Yeah, that's the way it works in real life. (That's where we normal, sane people refer to "gangs" and "warlords", which apparently don't exist in the universe, er, "market" according to Friedman or Nozick or Rand.)

And of course that's how it would be in this scenario as well. Unless somebody had his own fascist organization, these fat psychopaths would simply end up under the thumb of some tinpot security guard like from Blackwater.

No matter how you look at it, one warlord would end up in charge, whether it was a Hitler type or an Aidid type.

What is so different now?
