"If free markets don't work, why did the Kowloon Walled City last for so long?" - Weird TikTok AnCap who has been stalking my account
:ancap-good: "no man's land"? sounds like freedom to me, and it lasted 4 entire years? sign me up
:smedly-exhausted:
I think it's because no one there wanted to be there and just adapted to survive whereas ancaps actually want to live in lawless squalor which alienates sane people so no community solidarity and eventually they all die off.
You jest, but this is absolutely true.
Ancaps, even more than fascists, see real life as a blideo gaem. They want to feel like the badass mc of an IRL triple A title. Us lefties are simply n00bs who don't want to git gud like the ancap.
The KWC... a repulsive and also glorious thing. One of the very few modern examples of society existing outside the reach if government, specifically in a gap between governments as is usually the case. It's a wonder the whole thing didn't burn down or otherwise collapse, and I draw a strange sense of inspiration from it.
