David Friedman's work on this topic is interesting, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PnkC7CNvyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PnkC7CNvyI for example.
I think courts would be private as well, and you'd live in a jurisdiction of your choice.
I also think that jurisdictions that didn't enforce court orders from other jurisdictions would be black-listed by those jurisdictions. Furthermore, individuals from a black-listed jurisdiction would be stigmatized in, or barred from entering the jurisdiction that couldn't obtain their cooperation.
There has to be a cost attached to unreasonably uncooperative behavior.
- freedomben 4y agoIt might be worth mentioning that parent post is the anarcho-capitalist flavor of anarchy, which solution would sound like a dystopia to an ansoc or anarcho-communist person such as OP. I'm pretty skeptical about whether these private courts would/could work in the long term, but it is fascinating to read the theories.
- missedthecue 4y agoIn some sense they already exist in modern society. Most insurance companies arbitrate in private courts for instance. Public courts are too slow and inefficient.
- 082349872349872 4y agoPublic courts are slow and inefficient by design. The principle (and practice imx) is that most cases should settle before ever taking up much of a public court's time. Making public courts faster would reduce the incentive of the parties to avoid externalising their failure to agree onto the public.
- mathieuh 4y agoDavid Friedman appears to be a so-called “anarcho-capitalist”, which is not what this article is talking about. Anarchy is inherently incompatible with capitalism. Anarchy is the dismantling of hierarchies, the removal of rulers. Capitalism depends on hierarchies and lauds rulers.

- maxbond 4y agoI had a lovely conversation about cryptoassets with someone who held ancap views (we didn't exchange labels but I'd wager they'd embrace this one) earlier today. You can't tell if someone is a fascist based on their ideological label (outside a few obvious exceptions like, "I'm a Nazi," sure), because as a rule fascists don't want to be identified.
- ancapsfascists 4y agoThat's fair, but also ancaps are universally fascists. Anarchocapitalism gets rid of the state, safety nets, and police in favor of private security forces employed by whomever is wealthiest. If you want Elon Musk operating the police, then by all means. But that sure sounds like a recipe for CEOs to become autocrats.
- maxbond 4y agoI think that's just like, having problematic ideas. There's definitely some ancap/libertarian thinkers that give me the creeps. But most of the ancap/libertarians I've spoken to are against coercion and authoritarianism. Let's not paint with a broad brush, it's unfair to the people we're debating with (most of whom aren't fascists) and it just makes us look like fools who see fascists behind every idea we don't like. Which makes it difficult to argue that specific people really are fascists when we need it.
- ancapsfascists 4y agoExcept if you believe in unfettered capitalism with zero government oversight, there's no other possible outcome than "the rich run the police".
- rsecora 4y agos/jurisdiction/country/g That's similar to the definition of countries, international treaties and frontiers.
- 082349872349872 4y agoAlthough while there are no involuntary de jure hierarchies among countries, de facto there are.
- kodyo 4y agoSort of like jurisdictions in America that have legalized marijuana or declare themselves sanctuary cities in direct opposition to federal law.
- 082349872349872 4y ago> jurisdictions that didn't enforce court orders from other jurisdictions would be black-listed by those jurisdictions. *Cough* ICC *cough*?
