Disgruntled sovereign individuals getting together and forming things called 'communities' and organisational bodies called 'governments', which sometimes collectively decide to do things for the "greater good" (never thought I'd have to use that horrible term, but there you have it) even though some individuals may suffer a personal loss....

Oh, such a shame... You had me right up until "greater good." People can group. People can collectively decide things. But if they force their decision on even one dissenter, that's tyranny.

You and your "objective morality" again...

When the majority wants something but Myrkul opposes and wants something different, that's tyranny... Sure, why not. But who's the tyrant?

They're welcome to do whatever they want. Among themselves.

It all seems so strange considering that Capitalism is supposedly more efficient and all-round superior to 'coercion'. If societies with 'coercive' governments were less efficient than capitalist societies, surely they would have died out long ago due to evolution? How come they haven't?

AnCap was only first put together as a full philosophy about a hundred years or so ago. Look how long democracy took to get going. You're seeing the first stages of the out-competition right now. And you're resisting it. How does it feel to be the dude telling the man in an automobile to get a horse?

You got me. How does it feel to be telling "the Man" to get a horse?

Actually, I'm the one in the car. You can keep your horse.
