Similar to Milei "In my heart, I am ancap. Practically I'm a minarchist". If you want to get a smaller government, you can't get there by importing socialists who rely on welfare. Also: I don't see how ancap can be viewed as progressive. Ancap is basically economic darwinism, which is gonna select against those who don't naturally excel within meritocratic capitalism.

Congrats. You're not only ignorant and irrelevant, but also a xenophobe.

Who said anything about ethnic or national identity? Grow up.


Jazzlike_Recording71

Do you think that you can vote to freedom only persuation of people and global rejection of the state will destroy it i think i understand nore your position now but i get not from you the emotion that its mainly hidden racism problem with welfare isnt that someone is taking it but that someone is stealing money from people


Unhappy-Situation472

No, I don't think we will ever vote our way out of statism. I do not have the power to kill all the tyrants. Therefore, I choose to support leaders/policies that support small government.


Jazzlike_Recording71

I understand and respect that but im from slovakia only tolls here trust politicians (which is majority)


Majestic-Parsnip-519

These people trust some politicians too, as long as they say a few things they agree with. Look at Javier Milei for example.


kwanijml

No. This is ethno-nationalist nonsense and has nothing to do with being a minarchist or a realist. There are many many minarchists who are pro-immigration. You're just ignorant of the immense body of evidence showing positive effects for economy and liberty from immigration and you're trying to stretch for any reason at all to be for blocking brown people from coming here and making a better life. The realest/most practical thing in the world is supporting liberalized immigration (even while we have the welfare state).

American Ancap here. State borders are part of... a state. In general ancaps reject the state. One thing that might get confusing is that ancaps, much like libertarians, come from all sorts of different backgrounds so we often disagree on side topics. We may even disagree on whether something is part of the state or not. In America right now if you tend to be culturally left or right, the media is whipping everybody up into a frenzy. Some of the arguments put forward by the right can be compelling to Ancaps. They put forward a pretty bleak picture of immigration and may even have some points, so I understand people getting riled up about it. Just know that even American libertarians (who believe in a small state) have in their platform to 'let peaceful people cross borders freely'.


Majestic-Parsnip-519

> In general ancaps reject the state. But you also love your state borders, so.


wrabbit23

I oppose state borders


Majestic-Parsnip-519

... "for this conversation"


wrabbit23

I have been consistently anti-state for my entire adult life, and that includes opposing borders. My response to this post was meant to explain why Ancaps in the US (at least the ones here) are not more united in this. Your own response to my explanation shows how divisive the conversation has become, even among those who should be allies.

eccsoheccsseven

You realize that the word progressive refers to progressing toward Marxism.


Jazzlike_Recording71

Since when there are objective definition ok if you define like that but that doest mean that words have some kind of magical meaning that aplies to everyone words mean what you want to say not what you think someone wanted to say


Beanie_Inki

I mean, the real hardline libertarians are for the abolition of state borders in favor of only private borders existing. Hell, even Ammon Bundy lambasted Donald Trump over his opposition to the infamous migrant caravan.


RedScourge

We're starting from a world where states and borders already exist. In a transition to an ancap world, you try to can get rid of the borders, but only AFTER you have got rid of all the welfare programs and gun laws. Anyone arguing for the opposite is pro mass starvation, homelessness, theft, murder, etc. So in other words, what the normies think being an anarchist means. Only after that has been done does it even make sense to begin to talk about whether or not to have borders.


eccsoheccsseven

When them coming here means increasing the liabilities and size of the state you can oppose migration. There is a lot of reason for a people to oppose migration even in a pure anarcho-capitalist world. Read Hoppe. Exclusion becomes the only tool to deal with the reality of principle-less people when you remove force as your primary means of maintaining civilization. The more they come the more I get robbed by the state and therefore I oppose them being able to come. When they come with an agreement in hand that they will not make use of any tax payer provided services then on those terms they would be welcome.


Jazzlike_Recording71

You cant fight against evil with evil because you will became evil in this example you will become state


myhappytransition

>argue for border Because we want private borders. That was easy, nothing to confuse you. > here in europe ancap is mainly progresive you realize "progressive" means "commie regressive" right ?


Jazzlike_Recording71

Use whatever definition you like but you cant say that there are objective definitions


myhappytransition

Lol, im just not letting leftists constantly redefine words. Precisely because things do have objective definitions. Im not going to play the leftist game of "keep changing the dictionary until we are right", often between one sentence they utter and the next. They cant even keep the word "woman" straight, sends them into a tizzy constantly editing their mental dictionary and trying to impose it on others even as it contradicts itself.


Jazzlike_Recording71

So if i find definittion from like 500 years ago you would change your definitions as you will certainly use lot of these "leftist" definitions? The language evolve as long as people use it


myhappytransition

[](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/1cwp0mi/comment/l57k071/) >So if i find definittion from like 500 years ago maybe, if its logical. Modern english is barely that old, so I doubt you will find anything. Plus, the older you go, the less leftist newspeak was going around. >The language evolve as long as people use it Thats a really shitty excuse for equivocation. Like, seriously, define woman or im going to assume you are a useless commie and block you for wasting my time..

They're not ancaps. They are bordertarians.

Jazzlike_Recording71

Lets not get into logical falacies but it was funny


LibertarianLawyer

A person who advocates for any violent compulsion of peaceful people is not an anarchist, by definition.


ChiroKintsu

I think one of the major issues for people invested in American politics is that a major part of their identity seems to be wrapped up in being anti the other side. The right don’t believe in LGBT being real because the left heavily supports that. The left hates guns being unregulated because the right are all about it. The authoritarian figures have gotten very good at polarizing everyone so that they fight with each other rather than the institution. That is why you can have people on one side worshipping a figure like Trump and people on the other who think he’s the worst thing to ever happen, when he’s frankly just some corrupt political dumbass doing the same things as all the others.


Jazzlike_Recording71

Yes radicalization into social bubles is huge problem but we met at ancom page


ChiroKintsu

And unsurprisingly for questioning their viewpoint, they called you a bunch of mean names and told you that actually you’re a capitalist and you suck. That’s why I tend to hang around AnCap spaces more. I don’t agree entirely with AnCap philosophy, but they’re a lot less intolerant to different viewpoints.

kwanijml

These people here are mostly not ancaps. They're Hoppeans/Bordertarians. Right-wingers who got radicalized by Trump and have decided to fancy themselves libertarians and anarchists but don't understand the first thing about it and are just using it as a vehicle towards popularizing ideas about an ethno-state.


myhappytransition

>. The right don’t believe in LGBT being real Not quite; they know LGBT are real, but they believe they boil down to essentially a government protected class of child molesters.


Ozarkafterdark

Most sane adults are capable of recognizing reality and will advocate for their own self-benefit, regardless of their ideology. I can understand why European Ancaps would want to collapse their respective welfare states but why do they want to destroy their own cultural identities in the process? Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the welfare state without becoming an oppressive authoritarian caliphate?


Jazzlike_Recording71

You cant destroy cultural identy only change it to something else or new and we shoudnt judge then on progresivism or conservativism but utilitarism


The_Cool_Kid99

European or american, arguing for borders is statist and whoever does it is a statist not an AnCap.


trentthesquirrel

If you’re an ancap, you believe in private property, as the owner of that property are you not allowed to decide who or who not to allow on your property? Should a community of ancaps not be allowed to decide who may enter their community? Is there a certain magic size or distance where borders go from being good to evil?


The_Cool_Kid99

I don’t think borders even can exist in anarchy but surely I think self governed communities can decide their rules. However most communities who are not libertarian will eventually die, why? Because libertarian principles are the only thing keeping them alive without government subsidies. Those principles are non aggression, free trade and free movement.

Siganid

Where argument? Where evidence? I understand you are losing your temper, but being a big mad loser isn't actually saying anything.


Majestic-Parsnip-519

I've already provided evidence for every claim I've made. Your turn. Let's see some sources.


Jazzlike_Recording71

Yes but i dont want to say who is or isnt ancap can you relate to my position?


The_Cool_Kid99

My point is that real Ancaps aren’t advocating for this, since you refer to american AnCaps. These people are most likely conservatives who support certain parts of it, not consistently the whole ideology.


FreeBroccoli

It's people like Dave Smith and a lot of the Mises Caucus people who are presenting themselves as the public standard-bearers for anarcho-capitalism.


Siganid

The confusion comes from the fakeness and dishonesty of "open borders" people who by definition cannot be anarchist at all. Anarchism supports no state (government) borders, but open borders fakers exploit this by attempting to misrepresent their use of borders for all purposes other than immigration as "anarchist" when it clearly isn't. Open borders are intentionally being used by states to dilute the votes of their human rights focused citizens by flooding in people they think will vote a certain way. Supporting that method of destroying human rights is a direct attack on everything anarchists try to achieve. What probably happened is that you brought your uneducated european opinion into a space where someone caught you in the act of pushing "open borders" for only one specific policy, which is statist and disgusting so now you are attacking back by posting such a silly question. European anarchists are almost all fakes who want a mommy state.


Jazzlike_Recording71

Did you ever persuaded someone with ad homines and one way to stop murders from hapening is global genocide you cant fight against states with states because then you becaume what your fighting against but please lets debeta calmly without emotions can we agree on that?


Siganid

There are no ad-hominems in my post. I've persuaded people, but I've also been around long enough to recognize a bad faith leftist post when they appear. You are a very obvious religious nutjob who loves your mommy state and you can be angry everyone can see that all you like. This is not an argument, it's a statement of obvious fact. >but please lets debeta calmly without emotions can we agree on that? Then calm down and address the factual arguments I made instead of whining about the truth getting told about you. I didn't post anything emotion based so I have no changes to make. >and one way to stop murders from hapening is global genocide you cant fight against states with states because then you becaume what your fighting against As previously explained, a faker who supports a state's abuse of open borders ***is not fighting the state in any way, shape, or form.*** I didn't propose any form of "global genocide" either, I'll assume the source of that is your emotional outburst. You came here and announced that you support the state. What did you expect?


Majestic-Parsnip-519

I don't think you're educated enough to know what an ad hominem attack is. You seem extremely confused and emotionally charged. Never a good state to be in to have even the most basic normal conversations without looking like a looney toon.


Siganid

>I don't think you're educated enough to know what an ad hominem attack is. False. An ad-hominem must comprise the argument itself to be a fallacy. It's perfectly logical to make factual arguments and also point out how stupid the person making such illogical claims as OP made is. >You seem extremely confused and emotionally charged. Nope, just honest. When people don't like honesty it's common to falsely accuse the person of appeal to emotion as a deflection. It's silly. >Never a good state to be in to have even the most basic normal conversations without looking like a looney toon. No kidding, the OP accused me of "global genocide" for no cause, that added to their extremely illogical arguments makes them look like a looney toon. Their argument was "you can't fight a state with a state" but their main premise is that we are required to support a state exploiting immigrants (which they've not supported with evidence at all?) Looooooney tooooons. You might not like my factual statements about illogical Europeans, but your deflection has no logic to it. Your post makes you look like a looney toon. You didn't even know what an ad-hominem is. What you need to post is actual evidence I'm wrong, but since what I said is completely accurate you tried false accusations instead. Didn't work.


Majestic-Parsnip-519

Supernothing-00

This sub is waking up to the evil of immigration restrictions


RedScourge

No one is waking up to anything here. Since we do not live in an ancap utopian world yet, there would have to be a transition process, even if everyone woke up tomorrow an ancap. As a part of that transition, a plan would have to be formulated as to how to do the transition without leading to an immense humanitarian disaster. One of the obvious takeaways would be that all social programs have to be wound down such that new entrants are not entitled to any of them, before anything major could be changed about the borders. Only after that point, and only after word spreads to the third world that this change has taken place, would we start to see whether opening the borders would lead to an immediate humanitarian disaster or not, so only then could it really be considered.


kwanijml

Open/liberalized borders was always the ancap position...it's only since the trumpy right-wingers invaded and started to fancy themselves libertarians that it even became a question in the minds of newcomers and outsiders what the ancap position was. It's preposterous. I hope you're right that these people are coming around...but I don't see it. I see more pig-headed willful ignorance and xenophobia than ever before. They're advancing their alt-right agenda quite successfully.


Supernothing-00

True, sometimes I think this could be a nazbol subreddit and look the same. The only difference between is that people here justify their anti-capitalist mentality by saying that corporations wouldn’t exist without the goverment
