Didn't you say you were in favor of a theocracy the last time we talked?
That's a far cry from "proper" anarchy, which always had a strongly anticlerical bent; and in my experience, few anarchists outside the US Libertarian bubble are actually atomic individualists like Thoreau or Stirner (and there's no saying that living alone in the wilderness is an actual viable way of life if you're not, like Thoreau, a well-to-do bourgie who can go back to his "civilized" life at a moment's notice)

Imagine what an unbridled Trump would be like if he won in 2024 and didn't have to worry about getting reelected.
Presidents usually hold back on anything that could affect their winning a second term, can you imagine what a 2nd Trump term would be? Purely revenge, he would be planning his strategy for the world stage with him on top.
On a positive note Trump may have some competition from Nicki Haley. She resigned from the Trump administration early on and is popular.
And if he picks Marjorie Taylor Green as his running mate, no one in Congress would even whisper the word "impeachment."

Actually I don't think Trump will run in 2024.

You are right! A theocracy would be ideal I think. From my Christian perspective, a society / government that is under the direct rule of God would be ideal. My thinking is convoluted I suppose. In a true theocracy, there are no human rulers, rather, God is directly ruling. In absence of this direct rule from Him, anarchy is ideal, I think. I know “No Gods no masters” is a typical anarchist slogan, but I disagree with it, I’d say “No human masters”.

I’ll have to read it! Thanks!Have you read “The Market for Liberty”? I don’t remember a huge amount from it but found it rather intriguing.

From inside the US it may have been a horror movie. From my side of the pond it was more like a comedy.Well, I’m glad someone enjoyed the ride. I assume you love rollercoasters and horror movies because thats what it felt like for the rest of us.

As you describe it, a theocracy would be indistinguishable from Anarchy as the gods are usually very lazy when it comes to ruling. When was the last time one even showed up?

In my experience, including Libertarians, professing a desire for a lifestyle of individual survival comes with access to really expensive technology they bought on Amazon.

Since Trump worked to expand the wealth gap I am guessing you're okay with folks who yell "Ready Set Go!" in a race before the other contestants are at the starting line?
I don't think he can help himself.

You do realize that God has never talked equally to everyone, but rather to select individuals who were specifically Chosen for the task, do you? So any theocracy would likely culminate in a rule of "God's Chosen", i.e. an elite oligarchy with religious trappings.
Criticizing the American Prez is a time honored privilege. It doesn't mean Americans are anarchist; we are free to say as we please as long as it doesn't harm someone physically. Donald Trump is responsible for the very late start to the fight against covid here in the USA. Trump is a sales man and doesn't care whatsoever what happens to his country men. Trump has many supporters. Trumpster made a great deal of money for some. If that is your kind of leader good luck ! IMO

And take Boebert and Greene with you!!!
So, since you don't think anarcho-capitalism is possible unless humans are "generally moral," then I'm sure your knowledge of human nature tells you that it is and will remain impossible. It is a very odd thing to be a promoter of what you suppose impossible, isn't it?
You see, the problem with humans is that we are a social animal with the intelligence to default on the "social rules" when our own individual needs are not being met. We are capable, unlike ants or bees, of defaulting. And thus, if the "free market is the governing force," as you say, then it must remain a lawless society -- because in the absence of any other law, if I happen to need money to pay for my medical care, there would be nothing wrong with me kidnapping your children and selling them into slavery. As long as there's a market for young slaves, what's to stop me?
