That would be a phenomenally stupid idea. Empires cost more money than they bring in. States have only done it because their leaders are temporarily isolated from the economic impact by taxation. The minute you have to actually balance a checkbook, the whole thing bursts into flames.

Colonies were almost never profitable, so probably not. If, then for non-financial reasons. Which I guess is very very bad because that wouldn't be respecting the culture of these people.

Alright faggot, listen up: The only good culture in sub-saharan Africa is imported western culture. If a bunch of ancap-mercenaries took over Kenya, that would be a huge improvement for everyone involved. We're not talking about a place like India here, were the people are capable of ruling themselves. Sub-saharan Africa, pretty much the only region that could be conquered and ruled by a foreign power like a colony, is not India. Left to their own devices, these people went back to hunting witches and stitching their vaginas shut, killing albinos for their organs, and raping children to death or drafting them for wars. Once again, your dystopia is hardly worse than the status quote.

Many of the colonies were ludicrously profitable. That's why they could afford to pay people so much they took the risk of tropical disease, murder, starvation, etc. The existence of some government vanity projects does nothing to debunk the idea that much of it actually made high profits.

Think about it. You just send in a few mercenaries with grenades, and then you get to sell off billion dollar oil rights, plenty of land for development, and slaves by the score

>"Okay, I better ignore the second part of his post, addressing that would make for bad propaganda!"

Also, please substantiate that they were profitable. You have merely reasserted your position.

If anarchist society isn't surrounded by the countries then it's possible but I don't see how.

So if they use violence then it's not real anarchism because it didn't follow the NAP?

Anarchism wins every time!

>implying ancap society would work when forced upon people with no culture of live-and-let-live attitudes

I didn't imply that. At most, I implied it would work better than the alternatives, which are kleptocratic shitholes and tribalist shitholes. Prove this wrong.

>Drop the universalist nonsense. You should know better.

See above.
