"Anarcho"-capitalism is so laughably ridiculous I don't know where to begin. You always go on about government tyranny, Hobbit, and you don't stop to realize that large corporations can be more tyrannical than the government ever was. With no restrictions, large corporate powers wouldn't allow small businesses to thrive or give workers the pay they need to live, or even keep prices low. They would buy out or drive small businesses out of existence and create corporate monopolies. They would pay workers dirt wages, enough to keep them alive and working but little more. And once the corporate monopolies have no restrictions, they will raise prices to get more money out of you, as well. That's a greater tyranny than any government can ever create. This isn't just a theory of how it would work. It's what Rockefeller and Carnegie did, years ago, on a smaller scale. It's inevitable in a restriction-less system, because human greed is powerful and inevitable. While governments can instill tyranny as well, they have restrictions to prevent that. Power is divided up among hundreds of people with different viewpoints. There are laws regulating the government and requirements to alter them. Fearing government tyranny is like fearing a serial killer living under your bed. It's possible, but it's not likely at all to happen.
