An economic system without political system you say?

That's like something that never existed, period

If anarchy was the better system, the founding fathers would have put that in place

The founding fathers put into place the system that resulted in modern America. i think a minarchist government may be a better solution to a lasting society. The founding fathers were way better schooled on this shit than me though. Maybe any society is bound to fail eventually.

The founders put together a hell of a blueprint. They couldn't know how it would be distorted over the years.

I'm sure they would be appalled at where we are today.

There isn't worse than anarchy, that's the entire lesson when it comes to the FFs

They were very wary of government in general and democracy in particular (look at how much shit congress is barred from doing to you in the constitution... Implying that otherwise that's likely what cong would inevitably try to do to you...)

And at the same time they still went for a gov, because it's the lesser evil, but evil nonetheless... Anarchy being the bigger evil

That's how I see it

People who advocate for no gov at all have no idea of what they are asking for, it's like people asking for communism while they never lived under a communist regime

Minarchism is a good way to start imo

The problem we have with all our govs all over the west is the "ratchet effect", it's an ever bigger expansion without a possibility of rollback (on purpose), regarding various jurisprudence, trade deals, policies, bureaucracy etc...

.Gov is like sails on a boat which can only be deployed, not folded

We shouldn't have that problem in the first place, a system of rollback to minarchism should be possible, during hard times for instance, without waiting for fucking martial law and insurrection to be able to fire public/admin/bureaucratic staff en masse, and then in better times you deploy (.gov services) again

There are "services" you can't rollback, defense related mostly, military/justice, this is typically the core you just don't do away with entirely for obvious reasons, the rest can be put on hold for a given time (folded/shutdown)

That's the best I can think of personally, while a government running only on those services clearly isn't perfect (it's pretty england 17th century) the main focus being the protection of private property and persons in controlled areas, market places/cities typically

The army can handle pandemics (medics exist in the military), police work eventually (that's a stretch for detectives... But why not it's not necessarily impossible), and fires (firefighters happen to be in the military too)

... I'm talking super bare minimum system here

I agree with most of what you say. I wouldnt completely discount anarcho-capitalism though. It's worth consideration at least.
