How would Autistics think of Anarcho Capitalism?

I will have to do more research on my thoughts about it?

I'm autistic and I have a degree in economics (which is the study of allocation of resourced in a system with constrained resources). I did my post-graduate work in finance. Anarcho-capitalism would seem to be an incomplete system because there are things called economic externalities which requires a state entity to resolve efficiently. A positive externality is a case where a benefit is not reimbursed - an example is when a beekeeper moves in next to an orchard that reaps benefits from the bees pollinating the trees. The orchard owner might benefit say $50,000 per year. If for instance they were willing to pay half that benefit to the beekeeper to induce them to move in and if the beekeeper would find it worth their while to move in if they received that $25,000, but not otherwise, then the efficient solution would only be realized if there were a state entity that enforced the payment. An example of a negative externality would be if a manure-processing facility were to move next door to a hotel. The smell might cause $50,000 per year of lost business to the hotel. If there were no state to enforce a penalty for that, the manure-processor might well move there. But if a state entity charged the manure processor for the loss they produced to the hotel, it would disincentivize them from locating next door. Dumping heavy metal waste into rivers that people drink or fish from is another example. Externalities are costs or benefits that are not captured by a market mechanism, and so produce inefficient allocation of resources. Anarcho-capitalism would suffer from such inefficiencies. There's an article about this on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality

There can't be "free" market or "voluntary" contracts when power disparities exists. Those who own private property would control lives of those who don't, so essentially most people would have even lesser control over their lives than now. There's no anarchism in anarcho capitalism.

No one should have a right to "own" land, it's for all the humans and (other) animals and no paper can change that.

Hi. I think it would Anarchism would suck for Autistics in general because Anarchism is basically Social Darwinism put into effect. And it assumes everyone has an equal chance of defending themselves which is not true.

I would think about it logically. I don't know why others are posting what they think of it instead of how.

Native Americans didn't believe in land ownership. Communist countries don't either.

Our rule here is whoever has the gold makes the rules.
