I almost deleted HMK's poll and replaced it with one that included him. Fortunately, I didn't and ShakeZula came up with a much better response. I guess this is the free market of ideas at work.

What happens if all of the non-ACers are marooned under the same conditions (but they get a copy of the US constitution)? I suspect they will have returned to modern-day conditions in six months, and be invading Iraq within a year.

PS: This is a AC TROLL MAFIA REVERSE HIJACK!!! PWND!!!1!!

What if Borodog, Shakezula06, pvn, Nielsio and hmkpoker were airlifted and left on a deserted island. They have enough food and clothing for several months but after that they are on their own. They each have one automatic weapon. There is one fresh water stream on the island. There is plenty of native plants and animals for food and shelter. What would the 'community' look like in a year from now? Would anyone be in charge? Any speculation?

Scarce resources, division of labour, planning based on skills & reasoning & otherwise informed consent & voting.

But wayy to little people for anything other than communal cooperation.

A better hypothetical is a boatload of marooned statists and a gun. After the first day, everyone would be dead in a shallow mass grave except for Propertarian, who would have the gun, and boca who would be toiling for the benefit of all the remaining members of the Benevolent Propertarian Collective, being supervised by Chairman Propertarian of the Central Planning Board, wishing he could criticize the state, but just not being able to bring himself to do it because of his principles.
