| | Time for a new Dallas Accord? by Thomas L. Knapp |
 | | Limited government vs. minarchism vs. anarchism can wait until the choice between them is relevant, i.e. | | | There are plenty of other things to take positions on -- things that command the unanimous, or near-unanimous, support of the Party's membership and electoral base. |

| | Mises Economics Blog: Comment on The Law in Blog |
| | There's a problem with minarchism, though - it is inherently unstable, and, given a monopoly on violence, the State will inevitably use it to further its influence, and will eventually destroy liberties it is supposed to protect. | | | He simply believed that what was right for individuals to pursue on their own - law and justice - could also be pursued by groups cooperating together. | | | Posted by Alex at June 30, 2005 06:23 AM Actually, as long as just laws (meaning natural laws) are enforced it does not matter if society is anarcho-capitalist or minarchist. |

| | Minarchism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Prominent minarchists include Benjamin Constant, Herbert Spencer, Leonard Read, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, James M. Buchanan, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, John Hospers, Robert Nozick, George Reisman. | | | In civics, minarchism, sometimes called minimal statism or small government, is the view that the size, role and influence of government in a free society should be minimal - only large enough to protect the liberty of each and every individual, without violating the liberty of any individuals itself, thus maximizing individual liberty. | | | Other arguments for minarchism are natural rights, contractarianism and egalitarianism. |

| | The Ideal Randian State by Anthony Gregory |
| | Murray Rothbard argued in his classic work "Robert Nozick and the Immaculate Conception of the State" against Nozickian minarchism, on the basis that no State has ever or ever would develop in the perfect, pristine and uncorrupted circumstances in which the Nozickian night-watchman State must be born in order to exist. | | | See his webpage for more articles and personal information. | | | In the more inclusive Randian circles, even some disagreement on minarchism vs. anarchism is allowed. |

| | Minarchism states that the proper function of government is the protection of private property, through police, courts and national military. | | | The second position is the Utilitarian position, which states that although ultimate ends are arbitrary most people will value certain thin and that these given ends are best accomplished by certain means, which can be discovered by an examination of economic laws. | | | Anarcho-capitalism states that all goods, including security and arbitration, are cheaper and more efficient when provided by the free market. |

| | Free Market Anarchism: A Justification |
| | The legitimate role for minarchism is to have the government act only to respond to the initiation of force and perhaps to settle disputes. | | | This naturally leads, if anarchism is possible, people to question government. | | | I also believe polycentric legal orders are more stable in the long run, while monocentric ones tend toward less stability. |

| | With most people in a confederation that spans a continent or even the entire earth, society would obtain the key benefit of minarchism or limited government: a uniform rule of law (Hospers, 1976). | | | Its rent-based public finances provides the confederation with revenue without invading the privacy of the members and without imposing any economic burden. | | | In practice, most people would remain in some type of contractual community because historically human beings have wanted to live in communities and economically it is efficient for one geographic agency to provide for a mix of local related territorial services and to associate with others for services provided efficiently to larger areas. |

| | Anarchy, State, and Morality |
| | Ayn Rand first stated the natural law position in terms that no one could mistake: No man has the right to initiate the use of physical force against another man — which, we were told, left us no alternative to limited government. | | | I'm not even going to ask about the difference between a "general moral principle" and a "moral imperative." What interests me is what this development of the consequentialist vs. natural law conflict means for another dispute that has divided our movement — minarchism vs. anarchism. | | | Ah, but what if a contextually-applied noncoercion principle ruled out not only anarchism but minarchism as well? |

| | Will Wilkinson / The Fly Bottle: Minarchy & Anarchy: Both Utopian, and also not. |
| | Gene points to this discussion of that old chestnut, minarchism vs. anarchism, in Liberty. | | | A minimal state may not be utopian, but anarchism is. Anarchy of any sort, whether socialist or capitalist, could only be sustained if everyone were in total agreement on proper social relations. | | | Posted by: McClain at November 8, 2004 12:40 AM "Yet, my gut sense is also that there is no reason whatsoever to believe that either minarchism or anarchism are utopian per se, i.e., that there is no plausible set of conditions that could give rise to a sustainable minarchy or anarchy." |

| | Alex Peak - Thought Piece - “SLC Punk! and the Finer Points of Anarchism” - © 2006 by Alexander S. Peak |
| | Minarchism is very similar to Anarchism, except that under Minarchism, there is a small government present which has the sole purpose of protecting rights. | | | If government fails to protect rights, or even worse, actively infringes upon rights, as our does, we are justified in altering or abolishing it, according to John Locke. |

| | In Defense of Rational Anarchism |
| | Hence, while defending the State in theory, these consent-minarchists should oppose all existing governments in practice. | | | This is an especially difficult problem for those in the Lockeian tradition of minarchism - which, in this context, includes the followers of Ayn Rand. | | | And this, I dare say, is a kind of minarchism that I can live with quite well - for we are more likely to be visited by angels than to find a government based on consent. |
