I've been toying with AnCap for a while. Shared this with a neighbor who's still stuck on the left when it comes to the destruction of life via abortion and spaying/neutering human beings via queer theory. She can't get over the CogDis... Nonetheless, she sees evil, greed, corruption everywhere, even in places I never thought to look.

A small incident I read in the true novel "Babi Yar" shows an example of an ungoverned group - albeit short lived.

It goes as such... The boy, Kolya, and an escaped prisoner from a "camp" in Ukraine in 1941 headed out of Kiev to farmfolk about a 2-day journey away. When they got there the people were living in unbelievable abundance (considering everyone in Kiev were on the brink of starvation, essentially). Their store houses were stocked, etc. The two of them were shocked. The explanation given was, after the German Nazi's rousted the Commies they had no overlords at the bullshit collective farms, which had been an embarrassing disaster with low production, and the Germans didn't bother them because of the distance from the cities and the general inability to dedicate attention to them at that time.

A year or so later, Kolya returned to the farm. By then, the Nazi's had created such profound depletion of everything that they went out to the farms and stole everything and beat the shit out of them and took the people to the labor camps.

One season without government interference and abundance.

Down with greed!
