Mathematical Proof Against Anarchy? [DEBATE]
Channel: LiquidZulu
Date: 23/08/2021

I challenged a guy on discord to a debate after he said he had a game theory proof that anarchism cannot work, he fails to show this.

In this heated debate, we go over the foundation of rights, he claims that interaction is impossible without a state and I explain why his objections to anarchy are moot. His argument is predicated on the ridiculous Hobbesian state of nature argument where people are just so awful that we need to make a small group of people be allowed to do what they want, and they apparently won't be awful?


This is anarcho capitalism (ancap) debate / capitalism and socialism debate / anarchy vs statism heated debate. Not with vaush / destiny / Richard Wolff / Sargon of Akkad / Tim Pool / Hasan / breadtube, no breadtubers involved.
