You believe that a limited government focused on protecting individual rights and providing essential services will result in a more efficient, prosperous, and free society.
Minarchism is a political ideology that advocates for a minimal state, believing that the government's role should be limited to protecting its citizens' rights and providing only the most essential public services. These services typically include law enforcement, courts, and defense, but exclude areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which minarchists believe should be left to private entities or individuals. The term "minarchism" is derived from the "minimal-archism" or "minimal government."
The roots of minarchism can be…

If zoning and planning were not government-managed, how might that change the landscape of your city?

We already have a navy air base what else do we need to make the target on ourselves bigger than what it is.
@9KV93NQ 2mos2MO
it would be more of what and how we are and less like how the government wants it
@9KV8WF8Republican2mos2MO
I do not have enough information to form an opinion on this matter.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Is it fair for people to pay for all their services, like education and healthcare, instead of having government provide them?
@9H2V72W6mos6MO
The fairness of individuals paying for services like education and healthcare in a Minarchist system depends on one's perspective, as proponents argue for increased personal responsibility and choice, while critics may express concerns about potential disparities in access based on financial means.
@9H2V7H36mos6MO
No, the government should provide as much services as possible
@9H2WB6RRepublican6mos6MO
Yes. The government is responsible for only the leadership of the nation. Citizens are expected to pay for their own goods and services. Those who are unable to do so are deemed to be impoverished, and make up only the far end of the skew line.
@9H2W3MTRepublican6mos6MO
yes because you should have to pay your own things the government shouldn't have to
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If the government didn't provide public education, how would that affect opportunities for young people from different backgrounds?
@9JC8N5C4mos4MO
Children would be less likely to be influenced by federal government propaganda.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution3mos3MO
They would all be vastly better off, as, instead of the State plundering their parents' hard-earned money, their family would be allowed to invest it in whatever form of education they chose, allowing the children to be sent to highly-competitive and far more prestigious and schools without any difference in the parents' finances. Citizenship would take a quantum leap upward in a single generation.
@9HDD8JT6mos6MO
So many families come from all over the world to America to get a better education so they can do better with their future and to make a better income. if this opportunity went away, all the hard working people and kids will not be able to afford it and I feel like our economy would go down also.
@9HDD7GQ6mos6MO
It could cause more chaos due to none of them knowing the risks and everything in the real world and it could lead to more homelessness because they can't get a job from no education.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What role do you think social media could play in a world with reduced government oversight?
I feel that social media should be used only to share photos and fun thoughts. I do not believe politicians should be included in social media because people are not only inventing controversial topics, but they are also spreading false rumors that might go viral. Social media should be used to collect memories, not to disseminate politics.
@9KS8TJPRepublican2mos2MO
Social media can expose things that normally the government couldn't see
@9KRZ5H92mos2MO
it could be a platform for people to freely exspress their opinions , share information and connect with others.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think a minimal government could effectively protect the environment, or would it fail without strict regulations?
@9H2V72W6mos6MO
The effectiveness of a minimal government in protecting the environment in a Minarchist system is a matter of debate; proponents argue for the role of property rights and voluntary cooperation, while critics contend that without strict regulations, there may be insufficient safeguards against environmental degradation.
@9H2V95S6mos6MO
I think a small government could not effectively protect the environment because it wouldn't think it would be a big enough issue to do it actually try and find a solution for it.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What's your experience when you've had to solve a problem on your own without relying on authorities?
@9HWST395mos5MO
It's usually done much faster, and with less complications.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Without public housing support, how might communities assist those struggling to find affordable accommodation?
@9HTW68N 5mos5MO
People will get assisted by fundraisers and spreading awareness.

If schools were all privately run, what do you think would happen to the quality and accessibility of education?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution3mos3MO
Both would dramatically increase

How could the absence of government regulatory bodies impact consumer trust in products and services?
@9L4JMZGRepublican2mos2MO
The states would be ensured that their needs to being prioritized.
@9L4JL242mos2MO
manipulation from bigger corporations could occur then consumer trust would go down
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Could charity and community groups fill the gap if the government ceased providing social welfare benefits?
@9HPFSL25mos5MO
only if they are true programs that help people, not a fake programm for people to funnal money into there pocket
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would the dynamics of your community change if citizens had to fund and establish their own security measures?
@9HPF2HF5mos5MO
My community would change because some homes would have extra reliable security while others are unprotected and criminals could use this to break into the less secure homes.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Without a government enforcing environmental laws, how might individuals and companies be held accountable for protecting nature?
@9KX2BDS2mos2MO
This reflects the fact that anarchism tends to be grounded in notions of individual liberty and equality, free from hierarchy.
@9KWZWGHLibertarian2mos2MO
I don't know how unless we give the state the power to hold them accountable.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How could we handle the protection of endangered species in a system relying solely on private initiatives?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If the government stopped funding things like public transportation, would our cities be better or worse off?
@9H9H6CF6mos6MO
Our cities would definitely be worse off for many reasons. They would contribute greatly to the environment, there would be much more traffic, people would be a lot less healthy from driving more and taking transport/walking less, and the cities would have to expand, cutting off entire neighborhoods. Public transportation, arguably, is what helps cities to thrive, socially as well!
