For those who haven't seen the clip, he also got booed for advocating seat belt laws, and not selling heroin to children. Between that, the scarecrow guy spazing out, and that fat dude stripping on stage, the 2016 Libertarian Party primary was fairly memorable.

There's a difference between government and even some form of social behavior regulating mechanism, and a hierarchical system. In theory you can have a non-hierarchical system of management, there are even real world examples. Left Anarchists of all sects I've talked to, outside like, the really weird nihilist and post-Left and whatever extremely online types, seem to understand this, which is probably why they're a bit more honest about it.

That's because you don't live in a small scale irrigation farming network or some far flung consensus based village. They exist, they just used to be more common. I feel increasing tech could maybe make it upscale, but I also don't think Western individualists, or really anyone who's world view is based around states and/or dominance can make it work. That's (one of the reasons) why Occupy was kind of a shitshow. People in those talk circles really just wanted to dominate the conversation and flow of things.

There's one guy I knew in high school that became a big ancap in recent years. I'm still Facebook friends with him just to read his posts for the lols. I think the oddest thing was that he was and still is like a typical Oregon hippie stoner type, and yet now posts about how everyone in politics is evil and statist and how everyone has a right to guns and free enterprise is good while also posting about enlightenment through taking psychedelics and other hippie poo poo. His version of it seems a little different from the mainstream ancap stuff like corporate slavery and the like, but that sort of disassociation is what makes him seem even more loony.

I realized there was more to it than that after Joementum's post on the self-centeredness of hippies and that article (I can't find) from a year or two ago about exactly how hippies later became convinced of neoliberalism

I dunno, he's in pretty deep. He fights friends and family over it and accuses them of being ignorant, brainwashed, etc. He's also way more into the paranoid conspiracy aspect of it and how everything the government does is a tool to brainwash people and how Obama is as bad as every mass murderer in history because he wants to take away guns. It's honestly more depressing than anything, but I feel like I should have at least one super crazy friend on Facebook to make me feel more sane.

People tend to be passionate about what they believe and will defend it desperately, but that still doesn't mean what your friend believes in isn't skin-deep trash that he barely understands.

Most of his posts are what you'd expect, but this one is probably my favorite because he's DEFINITELY not posting it because of woman trouble and its all the STATE'S fault. Should be noted that he start dating a girl a few months after this post that shares his beliefs and then got engaged 6 months after that. Sounds like a perfectly healthy normal thing to do.

corporate slavery and the like isn't strictly speaking "mainstream." It's not something ancaps themselves generally bring up. It's just an obvious endpoint of the "solutions" they've come up with to the problems of ancapistan.

There's a terrific Atlantic article that explains why they hosed everything up for us when Nixon got ousted. There was a Fed chairman or something who was super anti-bank and was breaking them up but they ousted that guy too since he was "one of Nixon's men" not realizing he was doing actually good work and replaced him with a loving neolib banker.

What’s more, the new members were antiwar, not necessarily anti-bank. “Our generation did not know the Depression,” then-Representative Paul Tsongas said. “The populism of the 1930s doesn’t really apply to the 1970s,” argued Pete Stark, a California member who launched his political career by affixing a giant peace sign onto the roof of the bank he owned.

Bingo, that's the one!

quote:

for decades, Patman had sought to hold financial power in check, investigating corporate monopolies, high interest rates, the Federal Reserve, and big banks. And the banking allies on the committee had had enough of Patman’s hostility to Wall Street.

Over the years, Patman had upset these members by blocking bank mergers and going after financial power. As famed muckraking columnist Drew Pearson put it: Patman “committed one cardinal sin as chairman. ... He wants to investigate the big bankers.”

This is the dude they threw out along with Nixon. Great jeaaorrb!
