Start now. Start from yourself. Start small

I like ancapnistan.

But can we start now? Nope. No ancapnistan yet.

Can we start from ourself? Nope. No ancapnistan yet so there’s nothing we can do now.

Are we starting small? Ancapnistan is significantly different than say democracy. That’s not small changes. That’s big changes.

So we need intermediary states. Something we can do now to make weed more legal and tax lower.

What can we do?

  1. Network of private cities, if completely independent of other higher government is close to ancapnistan. The only difference is you got to move around to shop for laws while in ancapnistan you just switch right enforcement agency. Both are good. If moving around from cities to cities are not tough, no biggy. Also some private city may even allow several right enforcement agency and be more “hands off”.
  2. When that fail, make rulers/voters’ interests to be similar with owners and shareholders. Convert voters to shareholders.
  3. If that’s too difficult, convert welfare to dividend payment/tax credits, etc. Make incentives clear. The more cost effective government program is, or the more things are paid by those who use it, the more dividend voters/shareholders get. Should be able to get 60% votes this way. Middle classes are taxed heavily and don’t get welfare. Many prefer UBI or tax credit.
  4. Ally with conservatives against Commiela. We did it. Works fine.
  5. Start from yourself. Start from now. Start from small. Like what can I do to lower MY tax, NOW, even if a bit. You’ll be surprised with what you can do. Then think more. Libertarianism will look very difference once you take some actual steps to lower your tax.
  6. Once you have small success it’s easy to see the next step. Theorizing is fine. But took those small steps and more and more and more.
  7. Privatize everything. Privatize money (bitcoin). Store most of your wealth in bitcoin or other crypto. Feel the power. You can disclose your bitcoin to your government or you can choose not to. Up to you. YOU decide. Just remember. The purpose of paying tax is to avoid jail. So consult tax lawyers how to best avoid jail cost effectively.
  8. Privatize everything.
  9. Many features of ancapnistan, namely polymorphic laws, are already available. Wanna trade stuffs? Choose online market place. Wanna hire drivers? Choose Uber or Lyft. We’re pretty capitalist already. Far from perfect yes. Want private regulators? We can already do so on web 3.0.
  10. Web 3.0 is already ancapnistan. Just like real ancapnistan, they already have many private cities. There are so many things we can do in web 3.0. We can have private courts, private market like silk road, private insurance, and so on. Anything people can put as collateral means the court can have judgement.
  11. Libertarians despise power but embrace wealth. Libertarians despise rulers but embrace owners. Look, most of the time, rulers and owners are similar. Even if you don’t own, if you rule, eventually it’ll be as if you own. Even if you own, if you don’t rule, then ownership is just tax liability and other liability. To me, wealth is power. In fact, 90% of benefit of owning something is in having power over it. The other 10 % matters but far less. Often you are better off not owning but just controlling. For example, if a company or crypto wallet you DON’T own earn a lot of money, you don’t pay taxes on that. But you got the main use of money anyway, namely saving for rainy days.
  12. Avoid marriage. If you can have less government why do you want more? Replace marriage, or at least, YOUR marriage, with sugar relationship. Be more like Elon. Get rich bang bitches. One benefit of this is you can have a few effective wives and they don’t get alimony when leaving. Also you can’t be made to pay child support of children that’s not yours.
  13. When you got to vote for 2 statists, vote for statists that benefit you more or harm you less. Start from YOU. For example. If Trump lower Tax and Commiela wants to raise tax. If I were American, what should I vote for? Trump. Why? I like lower tax. What about tariffs? Don’t affect me. If you’re rich, regressive tax is cheap. What about inflation? Don’t affect me either. My money is in bitcoin. But your country’s budget will be in ruin and there will be huge budget deficit. Well, it’s time you follow Buddhist teaching of letting go attachment to your country. Unless you’re shareholders getting dividends of course. Fuck the state. The state has budget deficits? Good…. That being said, Trump 2.0 looks like it’s going to lower state spending by a lot. With guys like Elon and Milei as advisor I am pretty optimistic.
  14. Things that are likely to be good is good enough. I do not know for sure if Trump 2.0 will be great. I also don’t know if bitcoin will be $300k. So? I buy bitcoin anyway.
  15. See you to something close to ancapnistan sometime within our life time okay?
