    Because Tom Cruise's face sends me into a fit of rage.
    It doesn't make a sense though. How would a corporation become a government, effectively killing the concept of free exchange in a anarcho-capitalist society? If a corporation tried to do the same things a state does most people would simply leave for the same reason they came it it, mutually beneficial trade.

    That's not Tom Cruise you goofy motherfucker.

    Lenin went and botched the concept again. Anarcho-capitalist societies are essentially no different than feudal societies. Since there is no state and therefor no judicial system or set of laws that determine property ownership, landlords are forced to contract private security forces. Naturally these PMCs are in a state of competition for business. With unregulated business being the zero-sum game that it is, a handful of powerful PMCs will eventually come out on top and establish strong monopolies on large sections of land. This basically puts the CEO of any given PMC in the same position as a king and the landlords he protects with his forces in the position of vassals.

    Why wouldn't there be a private judiciary system in an anarcho-capitalist society?

    Because there is no such thing as a "private judiciary system". Law is a product of the state.

    That makes no sense. If people pay judges, they will judge. You don't need a state to do anything.

    All leftists are dirty proto-hominids, forgive my sarcasm. That being said, anarchism will only work when all the members of an anarchist society want it to. That its why egalitarian communes are the only non-fascist answer for leftists, even though they would much rather see their will imposed upon their neighbors by revolutionary Gestapo like the evil beings they are.

    Pointless discussion general. Anarchism is outlandish and utopian.

    I agree.
    A lot of things that never worked were also considered pipe dreams, and they still are.

    What exactly makes something a "bourgeois democracy"? Is it just that people you don't agree with are in power? Because there's absolutely nothing controlling who gets elected other than who receives the votes, and rich people get just as many votes as the homeless. A representative democracy is not something that is affected by ideology. It's a system that produces outcomes through election. It doesn't matter if the people are die-hard leftists or market fundamentalists; the system is still a representative democracy and there is still only one way to get the policy and/or people in power that they want, and that's voting.

    The existence of law as a precedent over majority whim apparently.
