Things as they are now, the existing order, heavily relies on laws to exist, you remove laws what prevents me from looting your place etc? Nothing but force

Then given the above, if there are no laws, the biggest pack of wolves prevails, that's reality, the rest is literature and wishful thinking

And yes everyone is armed and organized... Starting with the biggest pack of wolves...

>And, in the absence of all that, there'd be simply no justification to fight each other.

In the absence of all what? In the absence of total collapse of rule of law? As in people fighting over boxes of painkillers due to supply shortages all over the place because a contract is no longer backed by anything but promises?

...

You don't seem to realize how much of this world relies on laws to exist

Slavery didn't stop with capitalism, it's still ongoing, especially in places where anarchy prevails

Again, why would you want to loot my place? You aren't going to anything in there that's valuable enough that it's worth getting shot for. I don't have any gold, drugs are cheap because anyone can make them when there are no laws to prevent you from doing so. There's no reason to come after me because I have nothing that's worth fighting for, including my use as a slave.

Slavery stops anywhere where capitalism is allowed and the economic output of free people is worth more than those of slaves, simply because it's not financially feasible.

>Again, why would you want to loot my place?

Because I need it in order to survive? Because since you removed all laws commerce has been rendered impracticable as a result and nobody wants to ship anything anymore to this lawless land?

>You aren't going to anything in there that's valuable enough that it's worth getting shot for.

Maybe a bit of meat is all I'm looking for right now? Human flesh would do?

>drugs are cheap because anyone can make

I need a lab and equipement for that... And not any random product on top of that. Also, internet connection bare minimum because I'm not a chemist...

>There's no reason to come after me because I have nothing that's worth fighting for, including my use as a slave.

That's up to me to decide that, not you. Again, I'm starving and you look healthy enough...

>Slavery stops anywhere where capitalism is allowed and the economic output of free people is worth more than those of slaves, simply because it's not financially feasible.

Who said we need slave labor? We need the land under your feet, wand what's under it, not your ass. However, your daughters and wife look good enough for a sex slave.

You have no idea how low humans can go

And if you think it's just a matter of skin color I have bad news for you; You're an idiot if you trust a guy just because he's white

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_of_1315%E2%80%931317

>The Great Famine started with bad weather in spring 1315. Crop failures lasted through 1316 until the summer harvest in 1317, and Europe did not fully recover until 1322. The period was marked by extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, and even cannibalism and infanticide. The crisis had consequences for the Church, state, European society, and for future calamities to follow in the 14th century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor#Scope_and_duration

>Evidence of widespread cannibalism was documented during the Holodomor.[25][48]

>Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle. A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was "not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you." The good people died first. Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died. Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did.[49]

>The Soviet regime printed posters declaring: "To eat your own children is a barbarian act."[50]:225 More than 2,500 people were convicted of cannibalism during the Holodomor.[51]

I tell you what, you're an intellectual, and that's not the problem

The problem is that you're only an intellectual, you miss the gap beteen theory and practice

Ah, so your argument is that without laws, commerce would be rendered impractical, no-one could trade, and there wouldn't be enough of anything around. If that is true, then yes, you would be right.

However, I'm arguing that commerce will still occur, even with the absence of law. I have no way to prove it though. That said, the money saved from not having to pay taxes should be more than enough to offset the costs of security against any kind of organised gang thefts.

Why are you so sure that if everyone was armed, and there was no government, that commerce would not take place?
