god, it’s so tiring. These people legitimately believe that natural monopolies never exist and the only monopolies are created by the government. It’s so fucking tiring and just impossible to argue with someone when all of their points are just so wrong. I can post some of their worst offenders if anyone wants to see them.
Ancaps ignore the fact that land and resources are finite. Their idea works great up until there is no land left for anyone to acquire and create their ideal wonderland in.
It's frontier colonialism with natives removed spun out into absolute madness.
Yes if the world functioned like fucking minecraft and had an infinite amount of land just magically generating as you walk off into the distance then we'd have no monopolies or issues with land, laws, resources and so on and so forth.
But we fucking don't. And therefore when all the land is owned everything will turn into a corporate dictatorship monstrosities pretty much overnight. You're also fucking kidding yourself if you think the owners of that land won't go to war with each other to acquire other pieces of land if they see it as plausible expansion of their empires when the primary motivator in their society is profit.
Fully Enslaved Austere Straight Space AnCapism is their only salvation
