That's why the government is the problem as it protects the group over the individual whilst ancap Is made for the individual. You also forget that once an capistan is a thing contracts will have to be seen as fair by both parties, and if on does not agree with what the other is trading with he can just move on to the next trader and since the cost to entry will be as low as the product costs to make that means you will have plenty to choose from.Sorry for the late reply, went to class, transcribing this from what I wrote in my notebook:
The flaw of your libertarian perspective is it has an incorrect view of rights.
Certain relative rights, like privacy and property, are derivative of one's right to contract.
This is because rights must have both an entitled party and a guarenteer of such right. This is where we derive negative rights, like speech, as the guarenteer is all people, insofar as they are all obligation not to infringe on your right to expression.
However, rights like privacy and property are not intrinsic rights, as they are defined in absolutely relative terms to your interactions with other society. This is not by definition natural, so where are these rights derived from? These rights are derivative of your right for your agreements to be honored. This is captured in your right to contract, either with an individual, or with society in a social contract.
Since these rights of privacy and property are themselves derivative of your right to contract, you have the right to contract how they are applied or contract them to other parties. Libertarianism is flawed in the way that is treats these relative rights as natural rights which must be maximally preserved.
Therefore, a just government must not maximally guarentee individual privacy and property, but instead maximally obtain societal consent in their constriction of such. Reusseau partially captures this in his articulation of the general will, but it is most effectively explicated by Locke's natural rights in the Second Treatise of Government.
Participatory democracy is the best system in maximizing the validity of the social contract. Even if people are Low IQ, their rights are still valid, so they must be party to the social contract as they are governed by it.
TLDR: While a monarchist system of selective democracy may maximize the magnitude of one's contractual rights preserved to their person, it is illegitimate in its surrender of rights to the government, making democracy by the masses preferable.
How is private property rights any different from the right to free speech ? Are you saying I don't have a intrinsic right to my own body ? And by following your logic I can not defend a violation of my right to private property and by following that to its conclusion I have no rights as I can not contract anything or say anything beacuse I do not have a body to contract or say.
I also don't understand how you can seriously tell me that a low iq nut job in la has the same vote to change the life of a farmer in Idaho as that farmer in Idaho. Beacuse that's what you are advocating for, for someone to be able to vote away someone's property rights.
