   @augustus A point worth considering, but then we run into the issue of what I thik some guy on the internet called ancap island. Let's say we have an island split in two, one side ancap, the other ancom. At first this is fine, ancap side goes fine, ancom side goes fine, but people on the acap side notice that life is better on the ancom side because, you know, no capialist class absorbing the excess value. 1/2

      2/2 (We can of course flip these depending on your political preference, point stands either way) So the people on the ancap side start leaving, which causes the people on ancap side to have to start cracking down on emigration to preserve their sweet, sweet capitalist lifestyle. Eventually one of the sides is forced to wither away or descend into totalitarianism to maintain what position it has left.

      Not a fundamental problem per se; just to point out that in the long term capitalism and socialism can't coexist (eventually the non-oppressive side is going to see the need to help a revolution on the oppressive side.)
