Hey, all you guys claiming that AnCap may lead to things like big powerful companies using their strengths to bully the little guy, keep two things in mind:
1) It is MUCH more expensive to bully someone and take things from him by force than it is to trade with him and have him give you money/materials by his own choice. If, say, WalMart started to use military tactics to take out the competition, not only would that cost them way more than just beating them in the market, but it would kill their profits, and almost everyone would boycott them, and hired guns , or private security firms, don't work for free. Which leads me to point...
2) In a society without government that includes corporation-written laws that protect those corporations by supplying them with essentially free military and police forces, it would be VASTLY more expensive to piss people off when those people can take up arm and just come after you. Presently, we have oil companies in various parts of middle east (not really we, per se, but global oil companies), and those oil companies are not being very good guests. The locals are letting them know that they don't want them there on their property, usually with guns and bombs, and the US military is providing those oil companies with free protection, using our own troops, because "oil is vital to national security." Same deal is happening in Africa, and other nations are using their millitaries to protect their corporate interests in other parts of the world. In an AnCap society, there is no such protection, so you either spend a ton of money on security and sleep lightly with a gun under your pillow, or you play nice with everyone.
