that lack backup:
"It’s understandable, to be sure, that people may not understand how law, which they assume must be provided in top-down fashion, could emerge absent the state, although there is plenty of good historical work demonstrating precisely this." How bout ya cite some, I don't need details, just some examples.
"There is a huge literature dealing with the most frequent and obvious objections – e.g., Wouldn’t society descend into violent strife as armed bands fought for turf? How would disputes be resolved if my neighbor chose one arbitrator and I chose another? A short essay can’t answer all objections, so I refer you to LRC’s anarcho-capitalism bibliography, assembled by Hans-Hermann Hoppe." He glosses over the entire question by refering you to several books to read, come on, at least provide some anecdotal evidence of a successful society with free market based laws and enforcement.
But one thing he is absolutaly correct about, "Governments have no interest in staying limited, when they can expand their power and wealth by instead increasing their power." Gov't turns into a monster that must feed on something, usually the free market.
