A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Sounds like interesting reading, could you please add a link or reference?
More likely viewing. I'll update the previous post in a minute.
And I'll have to stress: it's specifically about anarcho-capitalism, with the explicit removal of any government. You'll keep hearing far-right conservatives insist that the best way to run the market is to keep the government out of it. Anarcho-capitalsim is that thing's platonic ideal, no need to wonder about the government being involved if there's no government involved.
As you'll see, at best that causes way more problems than a governed system causes. At worst, it creates a load of problems that a governed system prevents.
Thanks for the links!
