I was listening to a podcast with Robert Murphy about his book ‘Chaos Theory’ wherein he brought up some arguments against market anarchy, Anarchocapitalism, etc.and one of them really struck me, to paraphrase:
“Some people worry that companies may rise up and begin to act like states, abusing power, limit rights and the like. So their argument is ‘Well, if we got rid of the state, its possible we might get the state again. Wouldn’t that be terrible?’ ”
It is on its face a pretty weak argument, I’m sure many of us have heard, and so easily refuted(or mocked).
So what are some of the dumbest/funniest arguments you have heard against liberty?
