/r/Minarchy
A subreddit for Minarchists everywhere.
Minarchism is a libertarian political philosophy which advocates for the State to exist solely to protect citizens from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud. Minarchists generally propose that the only legitimate governmental institutions are the military, police, and courts. However, some advocates propose fire departments, prisons, the executive, and legislatures as legitimate government functions.
Minarchists argue that it is malum in se for a government to interfere in transactions between people by taxing for services not directly related to the protection of citizens.
Some minarchists argue that a state is inevitable, thus believing anarchy to be futile. Minarchists justify the necessity of the state on the grounds that private defence agencies and courts could be biased by unevenly representing the interests of higher paying clients.
Minarchists believe a laissez-faire economy is not only the best system ethically, but also pragmatically. They contend that exceedingly low tax rates as a result of minimal government institutions allows for economic benefits.

David Lane's 1488 isn't Fascist, it's Minarchist.
Precept 43: Choose and judge your leaders, also called guardians, thus: Those who seek always to limit the power of government are of good heart and conscience. Those who seek to expand the power of government are base tyrants.
Precept 44: No government can give anything to anybody without first taking it from another. Government is, by its very nature, legalized taking. A limited amount of government is a necessary burden for national defense and internal order. Anything more is counterproductive to freedom and liberty.

Why is Hans-Hermann 'Physical Removal' Hoppe listed as an important minarchist thinker in the sidebar? He is an ancap who literally wants to have kings and 'natural aristocrats'! He really just seems to be a fascist in disguise...

I saw in the sidebar that Hoppe and Rothbard are included as "Important Minarchist Thinkers". Do you really think that these racists are representative of minarchist thought? Why include them when we already have so many other excellent thinkers, like Hayek, Friedman and Rand.

Do you guys not support a social safety net? What would be the harm in having one? What will you do with the least fortunate people who cannot afford otherwise? Charity just works so much.

Made this meme in the GunMemes subreddit, and I thought y’all might get a kick out of it!
I have been making a meme series on the one subreddit known as SocialistRA, where I have been dissing on commies, and the series became loved, and I love that people like the series.
I hope y’all get a good laugh out of it.

What are some good Minarchist scholars, influencers/YouTubers etc. I've only been exposed to An-Caps but I'm not sold on it which is why I'm interested in this.

Military funding and control?
So I’ve ended up finding minarchism is probably a lot closer to my world view then libertarian like LP official Chase Oliver type stuff. Yes I was an indoctrinated dem at 18. Kept walking further right as the years went by. Perot I was voting age. Yes I voted for him. Repub since. Dem controlled state. Heavily. When I voted republican it’s never actually mattered much.
As the title says. Is there even the remotest thought on how to actually fund such a thing or lead it? Pragmatist here. You need a military force. It’s the world we live in. They ain’t cheap to build and maintain. Curious on peoples views of that.

Is intellectual property compatible with capitalism and minarchism?
I would really like to know this, because properties exist because things are limited, right?
Since ideas are not limited, is intellectual property compatible with minarchy?

I decided to make a discord for all Minarchists and Right-Wing anarchists to be on. The MRWAWF (Minarchist and Right-Wing Anarchist World Forum) is here so ancaps, minarchists, and all those other right wing anarchist groups that I care less about can talk.

If Texas voted to secede after a majority plebcite, would you send in the tanks to crush the session?
If not, then how can you object to each county and individual seceding?
