@Chris_arnade
@JohnBarnesSF
and anyone else) if stuck in right-libertarian / ancap society (Aristillus in my novels) what political / social positions would you advocate for?

3/ if you're pro-choice, you'd .. if you're radical pro-free-speech, you'd... and there is no government as such (although some of the legal service providers seem like / serve as de facto nano governments). The context of the ask is that I want to have a few background >>>

4/ left-ish orgs that are neither good guys nor bad guys, but just foils for one authoritarian leftist org. Bc there's no gov to petition, I see these orgs as being engaged in organizing / mobilizing / "raising consciousness". I want to treat them seriously & sympathetically.

5/ Some ideas: - agitate against capital punishment (in some legal systems) - agitate in favor of better debt discharge / bankruptcy laws (in some legal systems) - agitate in favor of much higher min wages / lower Gini coefficient (in...) - laws against insider trading

6/ ..but these are all sort of obvious, and I think I might have blind spots. Any feedback appreciated. Please feel free to RT thread / point other left-of-center folks to it. TY!

7/ In Ari 1 and 2 the Dogs and Gamma were both without much of a legal status, bc they mostly didn't interact w humans, day to day. In 3 and 4, this is still true. https://twitter.com/ScamThanNoon/status/1455879174472802304 …

8/ my assumption is that in an ancap society, if you dislike something and you're a competent lefty you do what
@hradzka is always talking about: try to marginalize the people who do that thing, attack their allies, set norms last one I'm calling "Common Operating Agreements"pic.twitter.com/ZSdtQwl9FT

9/ in fact, I'm exploring this sort of thing in a series of short stories that I'm [ hoping to ] co-write with various lawyer friends ! [ speaking of: if you're a lawyer and interested in polycentric / ancap law, and want to cowrite a story, DM me ]https://twitter.com/IamSoterson/status/1455894310767976449 …

That’s absolute. Those characters (the capitalized Dogs) are clearly people, and clearly second-class-if-that citizens, and a society founded the way you describe Aristillus is going to exploit that (probably while singing hymns to freedom)

Hmm wondering what the limited govt with monopoly of retaliatory force contingent would do. Those theories imply that MoF-style society would be impossible to establish or devolve quickly into central govt or competing gangs, so maybe the counter-example would knock them out?
