Why All-Services Platforms Would Be Chosen Over Republics (or any form of government)
A market for anarchy
The story is that The United States of America (as opposed to USA, Inc) is a republic, where “We, the People” asked it to provide us with 19 essential services that the free market cannot provide. Good story. But I don’t know who this “We, the People” invidual is, and I don’t appreciate him/her forcing me to go along with it.
We all know that the government provides more than nineteen services, and we didn’t ask them to provide any of them. The checks and balances of the Constituion didn’t work. But a republic is the best offered solution to provide what we call “essential” services.
This is the problem. No alternative has been presented to the normies. Anarchy is, of course, no alternative to them. They can’t see it, feel it, or smell it. They will have none of that nonsense.
But, what if an alternative to a republic was offered that was completely voluntary?
Wait, I know what you’re going to say: Anarchy is an alternative. Have you tried explaining that alternative to a normie? NEVER WORKS. NEVER WILL.
Here’s why: People are practical in their acceptance of government. They accept government because it works for them. They get their police, roads, courts, etc.
If you want to achieve a free world, you have to provide a “practical” alternative. It’s got to be something they can see, feel, experience that is shown to work.
I call this alternative: The all-service platform.
We all use platforms like eBay and Amazon to buy products and services, whose rating system and platform standards make buying safe. A similar platform could be created to displace or replace so-called “essential government services”.
A platform like that could offer excellent customer service, provide transparent data (government does not) and compete in price with other all-service platforms, giving their customers (equal to taxpayers in the goverment model) the best features and prices they can.
Imagine placing a bid for local security to provide services above and beyond what local police “provide” (required by the platform’s terms of service). It’s already been ruled by the Supreme Court that police have no duty to protect, yet private security would have to protect or they would not profit. Who, in their right mind would hire police not to protect you? Railroads hire their own “police” to solve crimes that the local police never solve. And, they solve them. Why would a railroad company hire the private if they had no expectation of results? In a republic, you have no choice. You have no free-market options.
An added benefit of an all-services platform that does not exist today is the placement of services. Local governments basically approve the addition of businesses. With an all-services platform, the people can have a say. Someone might want their favorite restaurant chain to come to town. They put up a little of their own money (refundable) to put in a bid. More people put up money and that gains the attention of the restaurant chain. Maybe those people would get special discounts and rewards for life for doing so? These platforms could place any and all services. The people might even be able to dissuade a business from coming with a similar process.
But you can see that the people can have power in a completely voluntary way versus the imagined power that people have with voting (already widely being exposed as a scam).
If an all-service platform did displace a local government, other people from other places can view the results online. They can hear the success stories. Maybe, at some point, people would start demanding them in their own town. Maybe a “market for anarchy” would arise. I think, wholeheartedly, it would because I know that practicality is the fundamental driver for acceptance of government. Don’t you think if an alternative gave people more bang for the buck, better security, more prosperity, they would choose it?
Practicality would be the driver for something better than government: All-services platforms.
