Hi Bob, the audio on this episode is super quiet, please make sure you check your audio levels.
If you want to dive into this topic, I would be interested in hearing you do some exploration on mafias and how they would or wouldn’t operate in a free society and why. I think a lot of ancaps are being a bit dismissive of the idea of mafias as opposed to “corporate DROs that run on contract law” and how exactly these entities would be different in practice. To a normie, “corporate DROs that run on contract law” is just a euphemism for a mafia and I don’t actually think this is too far from how it would work in reality, but I’d like to hear your perspective on it.
