The nature of anarchism (Lefty Despair etc.)

[Max B. Sawicky]

Don't the arrangements Chuck0 envisions require a whole
lotta state as well?  If groups of workers are going to
conduct commerce with each other, don't you still need
property rights, contracts, and tort law?

Chuck has a point. As Nozick realized, capitalism requires a regime of
enforceable property rights and contract and tort law. Therefore it requires
a state, so no anarchism. Right wing libertarians tend to be
minimal-staters--jets and jails, as an old TA of mine who liked the view
once put it. He might have added, judges.
