Anarcho-Libertarianism Is Insanely Relevant Internationally

by | Sep 6, 2019

History has been dominated by the stories of great powers diplomacy.  American hegemony is grounded in this notion, and in the mind of the Pentagon, the entire post-war consensus is based on full spectrum American dominance.

What if America declines?  Must China, for example, step in?  Or is the anarchic world of international relations in need of a paradigm that does not require great power bullying to provide order?

With crypto-currencies and interconnected economies, I suggest that the world is eager for peaceful, objective, arbitrative solutions to disputes.  Anarcho-capitalism, between states.

So which society has never had a realistic need for anarchism again?  More apropos, who will step up and create the systems that lead to peaceful conflict resolution?  Entrepreneurs of course, not politicians.
