I LOVE ANARCHO SOMALIA + IT WAS GOOD

People come on this sub to make of Libertarians by pulling out the “You literally want the US to be Somalia” or “Go to Somalia” YES WE WANT THAT RAHHH TOTAL STATE DEATH TSD. Vampire Socialist parasite state < Literally no state. But on a serious note, Anarcho Somalia was better than its old socialist government, I’m trying to get rid of the belief that quality of life dropped in anarcho Somalia or expand people’s knowledge. Now looking at this table, you’ll probably go “Why is literacy and school enrollment worse?” “Given that foreign aid was completely financing education in Somalia pre-1991, it is not surprising that there has been some falling school enrollment and literacy. This is less a statement about the Somali government’s ability to generate welfare enhancing outcomes for its citizens than it is a reflection of foreign aid poured into Somali education by the international development community before government collapsed.” “Education has also benefited in important ways under anarchy. There are more primary schools in Somalia today than there were in the late 1980s under government (UNDP, 2001,p. 84), and this number is growing. The number of formal schools has increased from 600 in1990 to 1172 under statelessness (UNICEF, 2005b” “Under statelessness, universities have emerged in Borama, Hargeisa, Bossaso, and Mogadishu. These universities offer subjects from computer skills to accounting” During the stateless period, the money had more stability too. “Still, money appears to be more stable under Somali anarchy that it was under the last years of government.” “In just the last four years under government (1986–1990), average annual depreciation of the SoSh was nearly 120 percent. In the first nine years of statelessness (1991–2000), average annual depreciation of the SoSh was just over six percent.” “Much of the credit for Somalia’s improved development belongs to its economy, which has been allowed to grow in the absence of government predation.” Courts actually work under anarchy, “Under anarchy, dispute resolution is free and speedy by international standards (Nenova, 2004; Nenova and Harford, 2004). This constitutes an important improvement in the provision of law and order compared to before 1991” Finally, freedom increased during the stateless period ” The Somali government ruthlessly suppressed free speech, censoring newspapers, radio and television. Most forms of free expression were punishable by death and foreign travel was severely restricted. Today, in contrast, Somalis are free to travel as they please (restricted only by governments of other nations) and enjoy greater freedom of expression, both privately and publicly” You should read the “Better off stateless: Somalia before and after government collapse” its nice, I’m just covering the surface. “In Garissa, a major export market in Kenya for southern Somali cattle, the value of cattle sales increased 600 percent and the volume of sales quadrupled from 1989 to 1999… in 2002 Somalia as a whole exported more than 480 million metric tons of agricultural products and more than 180 million metric tons of livestock (Country Watch 2005: 40).” “Perhaps somewhat surprisingly for a poor, stateless, African country, Somalia has attracted a number of major corporations. Italian agribusiness companies and U.S. based Dole Fruit Inc. have invested in the agricultural sector since the state’s collapse.” “This paper has explored the consequences of state collapse for a country that existed under the rule of a vampire state. Far from chaos and economic collapse, we find that Somalia is generally doing better than when it had a state” Okay thats it hopefully you learn something but most of you will probably think its bullshit cuz like state is good or something idk can we just be Minarchist? submitted by /u/PaxWarlord |
