O anarhiji opet...

Raspravljali smo ranije dosta o tome da li je moguće slobodno društvo bez države, tj "libertarijanska anarhija".

Ja sam ostao u manjini, ali evo, preporučujem vrlo zanimljiv tekst koji pokazuje da su i u istorijskom smislu realno postojala vrlo napredna trgovačka društva, bez države tj monopola sile: "The urban civilization of Harappa in southern Asia flourished economically and culturally for seven centuries, leaving archeologists with artifacts galore but with no evidence of wars or threats of war—or even a state. Most likely, Harappa’s archeological uniqueness has to do with the civilization’s having generated purely voluntary government."

Evo jos jednog teksta na slicnu temu - David D. Friedman "PRIVATE CREATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF LAW: A HISTORICAL CASE" http://daviddfriedman.com/Academic/Iceland/Iceland.html

A evo i kratkog isecka:

"Second, medieval Icelandic institutions have several peculiar and interesting characteristics; they might almost have been invented by a mad economist to test the lengths to which market systems could supplant government in its most fundamental functions. Killing was a civil offense resulting in a fine paid to the survivors of the victim. Laws were made by a "parliament," seats in which were a marketable commodity. Enforcement of law was entirely a private affair. And yet these extraordinary institutions survived for over three hundred years, and the society in which they survived appears to have been in many ways an attractive one . Its citizens were, by medieval standards, free; differences in status based on rank or sex were relatively small; and its literary, output in relation to its size has been compared, with some justice, to that of Athens.
