Simulated Presidential Debate: Liberalism v. Anarcho-Capitalism

Note 1) My opponent seems to think I'm a Keynesian, which I'm not, and it does not effect my views of the gold standard. Note 2) Without government, who decides the laws? If the people do, then it is not an anarcho-capitalist state - it is a direct democracy. Con seems to be confusing direct democracy and anarchy. Anarchy is basically a state of absolutely no government, no state, no "judges". It vouches for complete privatization of property. R1) Cooperation of the PeopleThis form of "chapitalarchy" (which was created by my opponent) would require complete and total cooperation of the people. Who ensures cooperation? Elimination of the state means elimination of the Constitution by definition. Privatization would require people to recognize judges if they elected my opponent. R2) EnforcementAnarchy, by definition, vouches for elimination of the state and complete privatization of the law, i.e. people can do what they want (more or less). How will you enforce a ban on abortion without government? And, more importantly, there will be no police force, etc. to investigate for major cases such as murder. It will become a world with no rules, and the Constitution is already defied in a state of anarchy. How will you uphold the Constitution without a government body? My opponent says the people will take on the responsibility - that is not anarchy, that is direct democracy, similar to the Swiss government. R3) AmendmentsAmendments are changes made to the Constitution. My opponent contradicts himself by saying he will not change the Constitution, and says he will pass amendments. The executive orders that I vouch for are wanted by many of the people. R4) Gold StandardCon has not demonstrated why a gold standard will help the economy. Below is a graph that shows deflation under a gold standard: As clearly seen, there was 15% deflation under the gold standard from 1919 to 1933. Below is a graph that shows the rises and drops in American economic inflation: As seen above, there was major deflation (15%) when the United States was under the gold standard. Thus, the gold standard is directly deflationary. I have also demonstrated how the gold standard stops preventing methods in economic crisis. Gold mining also effects the natural environment. My opponent mentions stability. I would like to not that the current system is 23 times more stable than the gold standard. As shown, the Fed keeps 0 deflation and an inflation rate of 1-2%, allowing for major stability. As proposed, I will stop the economic stimulus that does not help the economy in any way used by the Fed, allowing for further stability. R5) Private MintingThis complete capitalism of private printing, et cetera will cripple the monetary system, and the USD's monetary value will drop internationally. A drop in the USD monetary value means a drop in the stock market, forcing a global economic crisis due to the value of the USD being the basis of most sovereign states. This global economic crisis will result in wastage of resources, and, eventually, wars over oil, energy, etc. R6) Flat TaxHow will a flat tax be implemented in anarchy? Taxation will be impossible because of unlimited capitalism. This forceful, weak anarcho-capitalist society will crumble if taxation begins; therefore, there can't be any taxes whatsoever, as taxes cannot be collected by private bodies. ConclusionThe "prosperous" future of Walle Ras will keep the Constitution the same with no changes whatsoever, except going into a Reactionary status by rapidly shifting the government into anarchy. The President becomes a figurehead, and Congress does not exist, hence allowing for no amendments. Taxation is impossible and money is privatized, resulting in stock market crashes, monetary value drop, and global economic crisis, which will lead to war and bloodshed. Elect Tejretics for a truly prosperous, better future.
