Default Re: Comment Thread for Debate: The Merits of Anarchocapitalism

[ QUOTE ]
Rome and Greece are terrible examples of of government protecting the rights of people, for as you said they only did this for their citizens.

[/ QUOTE ]This is not a serious argument against the polities of Rome or Athens. All human societies and aspirations began small and by the 19th century we ended up universal.

Moreover, there is a case to be made for all cities to be run, if possible, like ancient Athens. (With some calibrations to bring it up to modern speed of course, e.g. no slaves. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])
