RE: Why is Anarchy Necessarily Better?

in #life • 8 years ago (edited)

I was inspired to post this after reading a blog by @sethlinson: A Day in the Life of an Anarchist. Highly recommend reading this, loved the subtle usually unnoticed trades that go on in everyday life.

I mostly agreed with his post, but I couldn't come to terms with one thing he said:

I couldn't drive my vehicle without taking multiple tests to prove my ability to the government, and then paying them a fee every few years to retain this right of transport.

    Thanks for the shoutout @daut44! I'm glad you ended up writing this article. But I still don't have much of a response to your concerns. I haven't thought of a potential free market solution to driver safety. But like I said before, I'm an anarchist for moral reasons, not pragmatic reasons.

    Well, in anarchy one would be paying the toll roads. And possibly forced to have a deposit for that road in the case of a collision. So I don't see the costs going away just becoming more honest and less of a conflict of interest.
