No need to explain the irony dude. Go open up your business in Somalia and refuse service to black people.
 
i think we should introduce civilization to somalia. like government subsidies to small businesses. that way i can run my racist business and not need to satisfy a customer base because the government gives me a check for my virtue of being relatively unsuccessful.
 
And for the uniformed neither libertarians nor anarcho-capitalists are opposed to government. Many libertarians are minarchists.

What anarcho-capitalists desire, however, is also not 'no government.' We desire a repeal of the Nation-State, the democratic principle, socialism, etc - but we still fully recognize the need for government. We are opposed to a centralized, monopolized governing force. We are not opposed to federalistic, hierarchic, non-monopolist governing forces.


To paint Somalia as any sort of haven for libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, etc is just silly. We favor a legal code based upon natural rights - Somalia has no such code. We favor non-interventionism abroad and non-interventionism in a region's own internal affairs. Somalia has been consistently interfered with by the CIA, Islamic Courts, and numerous other government agencies from different countries. Somalia is government-bred chaos - it's not anarcho-capitalism or libertarianism.

There are aspects of the markets that certainly however, are intriguing. In many respects, the material possessions of people are better today than they were under their own government. Technology is better and more available. But again, with no legal code in place to protect property and individual rights, it is no example of libertarianism.
 
Reasonable laws and regulation are in the eye of the beholder my dear. I believe the civil rights legislation is reasonable, while libertarians evidently don't. I guess a reasonable balance should be met...
 
If I was to show up there tomorrow morning with 100 people and start burning shit would the UN have a bitch fest or not?

for some reason I think enslaving the whole country and opening up a bunch of sweatshops might not go over so well.

otherwise I think I might be able to oblige you
 
also the reality of the situation is that if you are a small business with a couple of employees, you can do the exact same things in South America & Eastern Europe that you could do in Somalia.
 
all of which were worse when there was a national government. "better" doesn't mean that problems are going to go away
 
Welcome Desert Eagles next contestant on "You're nothing but a worthless fucking troll. Tell'em what he's won Johnny.

He's won a band new spot on the Ignore List!
 
If you're not getting it yet, this is sort of poking fun at the libertarians, etc who would like the civil rights legislation thrown out.
