Why do I see a tendency toward coercion in your comments?

It is sufficient for me that the other party signs our agreement using PGP/GPG, where the public address will be specified, I will send XMR there, and I will always be able to mathematically prove that I sent it to the address provided to me by the other party to the transaction.

If the terms of the transaction are not fulfilled, it will be enough for me personally (with the agreement signed using PGP/GPG) to ruin the reputation of the other party to the transaction using __market methods__, without aggression or coercion.

BTW, I have been living this way for many years, bypassing the state and its stupid bureaucracy and "rules". So, I'm not telling you this from the perspective of a beautiful theory, but from what I have been practicing for many years (agorism and counter-economics).

> but the lack of security typically led to the lack of freedom as well

Oh, "typically"? Give me a few examples if you want me to give a few counterexamples.

> the point is creating ties who makes bad actors unable to act without significant consequences.

Don't be a state pussy. Defend yourself. Especially since the state won't help you, because it's unproductive, because it has no incentive to be productive, because slaves will still bring in money. Even if you get mugged on the street today, and if it's not the latest mentally retarded drug addicts, the police won't find them, because they won't even look for them, but you pay for it. I hope you enjoy :).

Don't be a state pussy. Defend yourself.

> but I'm also study economics...

You're studying some strange kind of economics. I recommend starting with the Austrian school of economics.

> civil servant must be payed: how could you pay them?

No way. Civil servants = parasites. I don't sponsor parasites. Let them find jobs that benefit society, rather than forcing people to comply with degenerative government "laws" and regulations.

A civil servant is worse than a street thief, worse than a heroin dealer. The only thing worse than a civil servant is the state itself.

> A toll per every single road, like in vast part of the EU in the middle age?

Yes. They are called "private roads", which exist in every country, even in communist EU.

> Health care?

Private. If you want to pay, you pay; if you don't want to, you don't pay. Simple, right? I won't pay for you, ever.

> The USA are largely private and have the most expensive and LEAST effective health service in the west, Italy is the cheapest and the more public in the EU.

Compare: (income levels in the US + taxes) and (income levels in Italy + taxes).

Also, please don't tell me fairy tales about public healthcare in Europe. Unfortunately, I've had experience with it (and paid out of my own pocket, because I don't have insurance, because I'm not going to pay for you, ever). I'm not from the US, and I don't believe those YouTube stories where Americans who have moved abroad talk about how in Europe you "go to the doctor the very next day".

> I've learnt the limits of "too simple" ideas from left and right and I see how people *beveling* in left/right ideology fails to accept the limit and really engage and that's a problem.

I am not right-wing. I am not left-wing. I am above all that. The problem lies in the mental helplessness of the average slave, who pays for his mental helplessness, which he fully deserves.
