In the previous post the concept of governmental monopoly of territorial protection, law and justice was discussed. Here is a video that exposes some of what we can see in the current system of government’s monopoly of the judicial system (lacking any competition and economic incentives to improve). Note the interaction between the tax-eating police officer and judge towards the beginning. Even though this particular scene doesn’t show the real outrages of the current system, it still takes private citizen (and co-defendant) Felix to act as attorney and get to the bottom of this.

In contrast, here is an example of “private law and justice,” where the laundromat owner could have taken Archie to a government-monopolized court to sue Archie for loading a washer above the weight limit, but instead, chose to find a “private judge,” based on her known honesty and impartiality (even though she’s the wife of the accused violator). The first video sets up the situation, and the second one concludes it.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
