Be gentle when you tell Milsted
Carl Milsted continues his anti-anarchist jihad:
“[L]et us consider a thought experiment: How would one set up a private protection agency to replace government today? Why sit around complaining about government? Why not simply declare government to be criminal organizations and act accordingly? Why not do so right now? Cannot get the funding? So how are such agencies to be funded in the future? Cannot actually take on a real government? So how is an anarchic domain to provide territorial defense? Or do you require that anarchy be implemented worldwide in order for it to work? And remember, when setting up your private protection service, it must be able to serve some members of a territory who are surrounded by people who are content with a dominant local protector — the current local government today. Let this be a thought experiment only! As irritated as I am by some of the uncivil arguments used by some of you anarchists, I do not want you killed or worse. And I don’t want to be marked as encouraging ‘terrorism.’ Just do the job on paper. Write out the business plan.”
Apparently, Carl didn’t get the memo. Here’s the heavily-abridged version.
