R. Shackleferd, the US is so incredibly diverse...numerous cultures, races and religions...all coexisting in relative harmony. The government is the only thing that keeps us from killing each other.
The Government keeps people from killing each other how? Especially considering that Government is a killer. Don't diverse Governments go to war with each other? How do you explain civil wars between two states of people of same culture and ethnicity? But you have a good point. Diversity is something that must be controlled and contained within an entity such as the state.
Capitalism cannot provide safety and security on the national level.
So stolen/extorted money can pay for defense but any other money cant.
Anarcho-capitalism is not anarchism because all anarchists are anti-capitalists. Any anarchists that are capitalists are actually anarcho-capitalists. Along those same lines... anarcho-capitalism is not libertarianism because any libertarians that want to abolish the state are actually anarcho-capitalists.
Anarchy is an absense of authority, not an anti-capitalist movement. Libertarians can and do advocate the abolishment of the state. Advocacy of the state is not libertarian in and of itself. Individual liberty is.
Can you clarify what school being compulsory has to do with pragmatarianism?
Taxes are compulsory.
