>Would gun running be a legitimate anarcho-capitalist activity?

afaik, it depends on if you're buddhist.

>Could there be a gun manufacturing and marketing society that exists because no nation could conquer it without massive casualties?

Yes.

It is called communism. It consists of teaching everyone how to make simple trenchguns. At this point, everyone has one whenever they want to pick one up.

crossbow + barrel = openbolt. a guncommie is you!

>>79231

The commies sucked though because they were a bunch of government run corrupt firms and private citizens weren't even allowed to own weapons. Why not have a bunch of private companies form a military nation competing to provide the best product to the world?

Why would you need to bother with gun-running in Ancapistan? They're not illegal, so there's no need to smuggle. Just go to your local McWalmart and pick one up whenever it strikes your fancy.

>>79242

Gun running to foreign nations, mercenary, and insurgent groups. Does that violate the NAP?

>>79249

Provided you're working around the local authorities and not gunning them down, it shouldn't. Violating civil law doesn't necessarily violate the NAP.

>>79252

The only communist that was pro gun was George Orwell.

>>79235

>commies suck

But you have been GIVEN gun communism! Pinball-machine balllauncher + barrel = open-bolt machine gun!

Not the ones that actually succeeded past the revolution part.

>>79229

Anything could be banned, anything could be allowed. It depends on the particular polycentric legal systems available and various agreements. AnCap society is going to have many contracts that restrict you in the same way law does now.

More pro gun than you Billy

>Communists do not fight for personal military power (they must in no circumstances do that, and let no one ever again follow the example of Chang Kuo-tao), but they must fight for military power for the Party, for military power for the people. As a national war of resistance is going on, we must also fight for military power for the nation. Where there is naivety on the question of military power, nothing whatsoever can be achieved. It is very difficult for the labouring people, who have been deceived and intimidated by the reactionary ruling classes for thousands of years, to awaken to the importance of having guns in their own hands. Now that Japanese imperialist oppression and the nation-wide resistance to it have pushed our labouring people into the arena of war, Communists should prove themselves the most politically conscious leaders in this war. Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party. Yet, having guns, we can create Party organizations, as witness the powerful Party organizations which the Eighth Route Army has created in northern China. We can also create cadres, create schools, create culture, create mass movements. Everything in Yenan has been created by having guns. All things grow out of the barrel of a gun. According to the Marxist theory of the state, the army is the chief component of state power. Whoever wants to seize and retain state power must have a strong army. Some people ridicule us as advocates of the "omnipotence of war". Yes, we are advocates of the omnipotence of revolutionary war; that is good, not bad, it is Marxist. The guns of the Russian Communist Party created socialism. We shall create a democratic republic. Experience in the class struggle in the era of imperialism teaches us that it is only by the power of the gun that the working class and the labouring masses can defeat the armed bourgeoisie and landlords; in this sense we may say that only with guns can the whole world be transformed. We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.

Guess communism doesn't work if no one in the world actually wants it.

Potassium nitrate is typically the salts of urine, collected on straw (calcium nitrate), made more soluble by the broth of hardwood ash (potassium hydroxide).

Spreading this knowledge would create communism of gun manufacture.

>>79431

You're saying it's easy to make gunpowder with piss?

>>79433

Urea nitrate is a very nice explosive precursor

>As retarded as someone claiming Sweden is socialist.

A demographic that included most socialists until the "Sweden YES" memes started propagating around 4 years ago.

>>79525

Well, our numerous talks with socialists of all stripes over the years? I remember very well that a lot of lefties used to love Sweden, and some still do. Same with Venezuela. I predicted that lefties would stop praising it after the civil unrests and the shortages, but what I didn't predict was how fast it would happen. You disavowed the country just after it went to shit, but of course, none of you, or none that I have met (even though you faggots constantly hang around my board), have ever talked about this. You basically erased your memory, which is to be expected from uncultured swine like you, who have no sense of tradition. And it was the same with the Soviet Union, Red China, and Vietnam, which your predecessors loved before their shortcomings became all too obvious. That's when they stopped being "socialist" and became "state capitalist" instead.

I can only say this again, socialists are unprincipled assholes without any of the virtues that make a good intellectual. Your ideology is disgusting and most of the people that propagate it are disgusting, too, and I more and more find myself wishing you suceed with your woker's revolution just so you can all starve to fucking death already, as that is the only thing you and your shitty ideology are good for.

You've made at least two mistakes, my friend.

>>79708

Gods, it's worse than that, read the rest of the board.

There are people outright claiming that when workers act without bosses, it's obviously capitalism. There are idiots ranting about the ECP like it pertains to anything but capitalism. There is a phenomenal amount of bullshit.

They get by on lying because they've got nothing to stand on. Conversely, I know from experience that with a little pressure from the left, lolbertarian mobs can be wrong on their own terms rather than being the shitfest of fail which tends to crap on their boards, which is a big step up.

>There are people outright claiming that when workers act without bosses, it's obviously capitalism.

>implying it's not

Capitalism is any and all voluntary, purposeful action within the free market. Why on earth would you assume that some market actions are capitalistic and others aren't?

>>79734

Well, I'd start by noticing your definition has no mention of capital goods in a thing literally called "a belief or ideology (-ism) of capital goods."
