Default Anarcho-capitalism, It appears we have moved on but....

I saw two items today that I thought were wonderful examples of why we can't expect all businesses to behave in the fashion ACers would like us to believe they would simply due to market conditions. For instance, ACers repeat that no business would use their money for force because it would be cheaper to out compete...

Remove the Nigerian government's involvement and nothing changes; shell simply hires the police themselves.

ACers would also have you believe that companies would compete above board with new and better products, well....

One small company bashed other companies and got bashed back, and now basically due to blackmail they are closing down.

Don't see how real life and ACers utopia ever intersect.
