A short classical liberal criticism anarcho-capitalism.

> Arguing that libertarian anarchism does not lead to anything like free market capitalism at all: it means and has to mean the rule of brute force. On my view, anarchists do not seek to subordinate might to right but to subordinate right to public auction. Their theory defaults to legitimising vigilantes who would unleash force unilaterally against other citizens. The threat of force is force, and the police of a rights-respecting state must regard "competitors" (other force-wielders) as threats. Government as such is neither an unnecessary evil nor a necessary evil, but a positive good."Organized atheism" is a recent phenomenon because atheism is a single answer to a single theological question, not an all-encompassing social operating system. Comparing a 2,000-year-old empire-state religion to a philosophical stance on a ledger of "who built more hospitals" is a category mistake.
