I was thinking about this topic the other day and it seems to me that a stateless society would be much better off not having nuclear weapons for protection. By having them you would only be incentivizing others to invade and take control of them, where without them there seems to be very little incentive for others to invade a stateless society.

Okay, so I'm just trying to imagine this situation... I'm guessing there would either need to be a defense company big enough to protect against another country's military or all of the defense companies would have to work together to resolve the situation? Even then I wonder if we would have enough man power to defend ourselves...

OK so let's say that you are sitting on a pot of oil and a company contracts with you to get your product out of the ground and to market, and you both agree upon the DRO to use and things are working out just fine. Then some other country comes in with their armed forces and take the property for themselves. What happens? How could this be prevented in a free society?

The other day my girlfriend and I were talking about what the transition would be like from our current government run economy to an economy without a government. She is very curious about what life would be like without a government but has serious doubts of anarchism ever becoming a reality. I began asking her questions about these doubts and she brought up a good point which is that too many people fear life without a government to ever make the leap. I frequently run into this wall when talking to others which seems to be this underlying fear that people have of chaos ensuing without a government. This brought me to thinking of a new way of easing people into the idea of life without a government and I wanted to hear your thoughts on it. What if we lessened the power of the government to that of a corporation? Consider the government to be a one stop shop for a variety of services. Then everybody who fears life without a government can voluntarily choose to receive the benefits that our government currently provides and they will continue to pay taxes as usual except now it is voluntary. Others, like myself, will no longer be forced to pay taxes but instead can pay only for services that they feel will benefit them. I realize that this situation is really getting rid of government all together and just labeling a corporation as the government but I also feel like it would provide those disbelievers with some comfort during a transition. Any thoughts?
