There are lots of toll roads in the world. I haven't done a study or anything, but they tend to be much better maintained than public roads.
Also note that privatization of roads is not a Republican idea by any means. You should really refrain from conflating all things that you view as negative into one.
Please demonstrate past mass extinctions in the oceans that were caused by acidification. CO2 has been much higher than today in the past (as high as 1500 ppm). I want to know if it correlates with a mass extinction event. If it doesn't, then your theory goes out the window, as the buffer system in the oceans doesn't change significantly (which is an assumption on my part, feel free to disprove it).
I take it you have never had a group of ancoms come onto your property and steal food from your storehouse, then.
Ancoms aren't so limited as you think in their disrespect for property rights.
If Ben Franklin really said that, then fuck him. That does not fit with the America that was created, and indeed is a recipe total destruction of a state. Property is absolutely NOT a state created fiction. Try going into someone's home at night and see the natural result. Try stealing someone's land in a stateless society and see the natural result. Property is REAL. Land can be owned by mixing it with one's labor and improving it, and once it is owned it can be sold. Though it can be abandoned, this is not the same as continued ownership by an absentee landlord. He might be a logger, who comes by once every twenty years to clear his land and sell the wood. If he found that someone else had cleared the land and was grazing cattle on it, he would be justifiably upset, and violence would be the result in the absence of an arbitration authority (which both sides can agree to in a state of anarchy).
"Up to date" economists have brought us to the bring of the oblivion that those "baseless hogwash" policies lifted us from so long ago.
Modern economists are the very incarnation of the term "baffle them with bullshit". It's all lies hidden in complex math that literally no-one understands. You can prove this empirically by asking a set of so called modern economists to predict the future of the economy given the current state of affairs. They will come up with dozens of proposals, and all of them will be wrong. Ask any number of Austrian economists to do the same and you will get a much more unified answer, and it will be right most of the time. Once the event they predicted has occured, you will be able to trace it back to the reasons they used to make the initial claim. This is why Ron Paul was able to talk about the housing bubble in 2002, and why all those "Peter Schiff was right" videos are so popular.
Your one dimensional thinking has you tied up in knots.
Anarchist is to libertarian as Communist is to socialist. Libertarians want less government in both realms of society (personal and economic), where anarchists want ZERO government. Intelligent anarchists realize that even in the absence of government, society remains ordered. It is just that the order is now emergent and non-violent. Those who produce rise to the top, those who fail fall to the bottom. Those on top can not oppress those on bottom because their only power is voluntary exchange. People fear such a system for some reason. Probably because all they have even known is the somewhat hidden violence and oppression by the state.
You are free to do so, but you will be considered an outlaw, and will not be welcome among those who recognize natural law. If you try to force your way in, you will likely be shot. If someone who does recognize the law decides to murder you in the wastes, you will go un-noted and likely unavenged. That is the life of those who choose not to recognize property rights and by so doing become animals. Very smart, very dangerous animals, but animals none the less.
Yes, the total disconnect from reality comes from the failure of the ancoms to recognize a person's right to own property. It grates on common sense to such an extent that no sane person can realistically believe in and subscribe to it. They are basically just thieves trying to justify their thievery.
There have been in the past. Look to periods of sustained and sustainable growth and advancement and find the models that were used there. I would suggest looking first to the model employed in the United States post-Reconstruction, as that model took us from burned out cinder to world power rather quickly without any external help.
Please tell me more about how much better D is than R. Please include commentary on the new executive assassination power that your boy in the White House has granted himself (and his successors).
Uhh, if the system can't deal with humanity, then the system IS a failure.
Read about the Stanford Prison Experiment. The take away lesson should NOT be that the people chosen to participate were morally inferior (an aspersion you seem willing to cast at all humanity), but that poorly designed systems will turn good people into evil people based on the role they are assigned.

Not to mention that a theory that can explain any outcome contains no knowledge.
I like how Americans think they know what a 500 year event looks like. Sort of like asking a toddler what his future job is like.
Nice, a testable prediction. Where can we meet in 60 years to compare notes?
Note that government bureaucracy is eternal. If we moved the whole bureaucracy out with elections, things might actually work in government.
Can someone give me a reason other than "-1 disagree" for parent being modded down to -1 troll?

They made themselves the top 0.1%.

Why do we worship soldiers, then?
You have things pretty backwards there, young man.

Anonymous is attacking those speaking out against them! We must stop this MENACE! lol
mises.org is an anarchist website. Find me someone stupid there.
Every single system? So you are saying that the system where those kids were university students fostered corruption, abuse, etc?
You need some lessons in empiricism.

I'm not a Republican.
Try again.
I think you greatly underestimate the "in original packaging" price multiplier.
I wouldn't bet on that. Future emulators will likely be able to emulate not only the system, but the online servers as well.

Turn the enemy against himself.
You do realize that you are talking about New York, right?
Democrats are the same as the Republicans in every way that counts. Support for one is support for both.
