Anarchism vs. Minarchism – The TRUTH

Really, the difference is not so much in the effects of the structure and the policies of the two approaches, but rather in the ideals that enervate and motivate them.

If your goal is anarchism – no theft – then the norm is no theft. Whatever institutions evolve, the inertia of the goal – no theft – tends to damp down theft, and balance is restored.

If on the other hand, the goal is minarchism – only a little theft- you create an Articles of Confederation, then a Constitution, sooner or later you have a Civil War, then corporatism, militarism, and empire…the ratchet, in other words. And that ratchet only turns one way.
