    The monkey paw curls

    All businesses open to the public are now free. The economy collapses into anarchy overnight.

        To each his own I guess.

        I guess people who need medication, running water, electricity, hospitals, nuclear power plants operating safely, and the internet are just screwed then.

            I’m not talking about a utopian communist anarchy, as in absence of a state. I mean anarchy in the sense of societal collapse and devolution.

            You do not get sunshine and rainbow anarchy from a state violently and suddenly collapsing. You get massive amounts of death and suffering.

            Also you do not get those things under an anarchy. I have yet to hear a sane person explain how communes are going to operate nuclear power plants and massive laboratories to create extremely precise medicine.

            These things may be possible in anarchy but they’d still suffer (probably irreparably) if the economy collapses overnight.

              Again people are suffering due to a lack of those things every day because “the economy” is set up to ensure that.
