I live in NJ where weed is legal but you can't buy it (legally) so we are sort of in a weird spot. anyway, it makes me really not care about ordering weed on the dark web from CA. if the feds catch it, its an ounce of weed to a residence, they don't care and im not gonna go in front of some federal judge on federal drug crimes. if CA or NJ catch it, its legal there, who cares. but the site I use uses an escrow system…

There's such a thing as federally legal THC these days, and it can be shipped straight to your mailbox:

IRL this is called binding arbitration, and it's often opt-out for your ISP and cellphone provider. Most companies prefer this, as it's faster and more efficient than the judicial system.

> it's faster and more efficient than the judicial system Only in theory, or maybe if you take averages. As soon as you give people rights (to see the evidence against them, to confront witnesses, etc.) you have to create processes to manage those rights, and it ends up resembling the judicial system. I had a friend go through a wrongful termination arbitration, and it took two years. Lawyers were present on both sid…

I've heard the same stories. People imagine "arbitration" is like Judge Judy: you both tell your side, and then she issues a ruling. Badda bing, badda boom.

NOT! You have to get a lawyer, and it drags on and on.

Isn’t any system of governance in a given region (geographic, or virtual) involuntary? Unless you just mean “you can leave if you don’t like it,” but that’s true for all systems of governance.

Not an expert on the topic, but my understanding is that anarchy rejects governance in general - there wouldn't be any "elevated decision-making body". It's not as much "you can leave if you don't like it" as it's "if you're here then you can change things". I'm not prepared to defend this but that's the view - if you have a system of governance it isn't anarchy so if the argument is "all systems of governance are at…

Anarchism rejects imposed hierarchy of authority. It does not reject governance in general.

The lengthy discussions about what qualifies as "anarchy" is a perfect illustration of why anarchists (and libertarians) never take power.

The devotees are more interested in being correct and arguing with each other than in the messy business of making coalitions and keeping them together.

> “you can leave if you don’t like it,” but that’s true for all systems of governance. Is it? Can you just leave North Korea if you please?

Okay, fair enough. It's true for most systems of governance.

Not in practice. For example, not issuing an international passport effectively amounts to a travel ban, and many countries do it for all kinds of reasons (e.g. to combat conscription or child support evasion, or for "national security" reasons).

It's even worse if you look at history. For example, US routinely denied passports to "communist sympathizers" until 1960s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_v._Dulles).

> full anarchy I know what you mean, but it's unfortunate that anarchism is sometimes a synonym for "no rules" when it doesn't mean that at all. I think this system is actually very anarchist.

Right. I used to think this as well. In its most basic form, it means no ruler. I view anarchism as the ultimate counter to authoritarianism. The older I get, the more it becomes apparent to me that all of our world governments are authoritarian to a degree, including supposed democratic ones, and there seems to be this arbitrary threshold of "ok now we call this regime authoritarian". But every government rules thro…

My personal theory is that it's straight up impossible to have a non-authoritarian government involving more than Dunbar's number of people (counting both the governors and the governed). For larger numbers, the best you can do is a multi-level federated approach where the governing assemblies on each level have no more than that number of delegates from the level below.

After medical and recreational weed was legalized, the lost weed company is not really needed. Their prices were pretty high and have stayed that way.
