Egypt is in the midst of a crime wave. I think you need examples from the real world.
People are just so used to relying on the state for such things that it takes longer than a short period of chaos for people to self organize. Are you claiming that it is not possible to provide private defense of persons and property? |

Obviously, some rich fuck can afford some executive security and get driven around in a bulletproof escalade, but that isn't exactly the status quo, is it... |

Can you expound on this point? What does "global scale" defense look like? Do we have that today? |

Thanks for the assertion, now provide some logic to back it up. Start from assumptions and build to the conclusion. Private defense can be as simple as everyone owning a gun. How does that become a monopoly on violence? |

Can a new "state" version of private defence emerge on something like a virtual world, where everyone who can afford to can just buy their own defensive weaponry I wonder? |

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

I can accept that you believe that you have refuted them, but you have done nothing of the sort. Most of your readership is either amused by you, or agrieved. I doubt that even those who agree with your positions would agree that you have 'refuted' much of note. |

Maybe you should just try running SMF, only with more elaborate avatars
+1 Can you, for example, build a house where the rooms are the faces of a tesseract, which allows you to walk from room to room going 'round and 'round the warped space, with just SMF + fancy avatars?
