the eight rules of ancap revolution
1st RULE: You do not talk about libertarian revolution.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about libertarian revolution.
3rd RULE: If a firm declares bankruptcy, stops trading, or the CEO flees Aristillus and goes back to Earth, the firm is over.
4th RULE: Only two competitors to a market. Wait – no. That’s Earth’s planned economy under the Bureau of Industrial Planning. Here anyone can compete.
5th RULE: One fight at a time is a good idea. But sometimes when you’re trying to build market share the US and the UN decide to invade. And a rogue AI tries to launch a hard singularity take-off. And a fifth columnist sells out your revolution to curry favor with a politician. And left-wing legacy media starts editing your quotes to paint you as a racist. Damn. One fight at a time would be refreshing in comparison.
6th RULE: No helmets, no gloves? Stupid – that’s a good way to suffer explosive decompression when the PKs blow the airlocks.
7th RULE: Revolution will go on as long it has to. Start a libertarian revolution and lose, and you’ll end up disappeared into Gitmo.
8th RULE: If this is your first libertarian revolution, you HAVE to fight. There are no front lines. The PK invaders are everywhere.
