I’ve had this thought for a while now. Why is anarchy better than minarchy? Anarchy sounds great in theory especially with all the freedom that comes with it. However I have trouble grasping the concept of having no way of protecting those freedoms. For instance I don’t see any issue with having a minimal police force that prevents criminals from infringing on my rights. I also don’t have any issue with a military force to keep other countries that don’t hold our same ideals out. I can see an argument that these can be voluntarily funded however I’m not sure how practical that is. I also do grasp how firefighters and other services can be provided by voluntary donations and the like. Those things aren’t necessary for society to thrive. Can anyone share there thoughts along this? I want to hear others thoughts especially those who were previously minarchists and became anarchists. Thank you!
