    Consent doesn’t transfer responsibility.

    I agree.

    Ancaps see the logic of exit, but ignore the dual logic of commitment and voice e.g. democracy and social property

    Ancaps delegate this to free will.

    Including

    … but non-market mechanisms and mutual aid should flourish within groups.

    Only how do you form a group with its resources without property of individuals as its components?

      So you agree that the employer-employee contract must be abolished due to it violating workers’ inalienable right to workplace democracy?

      The way collective property works is that each group member that possesses collective property self-assess and declares the price they would be willing to turn over the possession to another group member. Then, they pay a percentage fee on this self-assessed price to the group. Groups democratically decide what to do with the collective funds @technology

        No, just that you can’t offload responsibility via contract. I agree though that contract under clear pressure is negligible.

Then, they pay a percentage fee on this self-assessed price to the group. Groups democratically decide what to do with the collective funds

        So a group can make the fee zero and thus have a usual ancap community?

          The employment contract is such a contract. It involves a legal transfer of legal responsibility for the positive and negative results of production from the employees to the solely the employer. However, there is no corresponding de facto transfer of de facto responsibility. The contract is unfulfillable.

          Groups set exit fees for transferring out community value. They can lower the exit fees for mutually-recognized groups, and exclude “groups” with no public goods funding

            Funny that I have never looked at it from this particular point.

            Can one person be a group?

              1 individual can be a part of many groups. Being a part of zero groups would make people pay steep exit fees for every economic transaction with you and you wouldn’t be able to access any group collective property, group currencies or receive mutual aid that these groups provide. There would be strong economic incentives to participate in these groups. Since all firms would be mandated to be worker coops, these groups would be a new way to provide startup capital to new firms

                OK, the economical parts have more constraints than ancap, but the whole idea is similar and understandable.

                What about violence? If a person commits murder or theft, how do the rest deal with it?

                If there’s an argument over something, how does it get resolved?

                Same question as “how do law enforcement and courts work in ancap”, only not for ancap.

                  Abolishing the employment contract isn’t more constraints than ancap. It is part of legitimate contracts’ non-fraudulent nature.

                  Groups enable the large-scale cooperation needed for an ordered stateless society.

                  Groups could have judicial systems. Judicial agreements could exist between groups. Thieves would pay damages to the victim. For serious crimes, there could be expulsion from group(s) and blocklists

                  For arguments, groups could subsidize agreement across social distance

                    I meant in general - two sides in ancap may voluntarily decide whatever concerns them both via any mechanism they come up with, but if that violates the rights of others, the others of course are not obligated by it in any way, or if it transfers responsibility in this case, others are not obligated to follow that transfer.

                    Here we have something less relative and more static.

                    Groups could have judicial systems. Judicial agreements could exist between groups. Thieves would pay damages to the victim. For serious crimes, there could be expulsion from group(s) and blocklists

                    OK. This is as bad or as good an answer as for ancap, because it’s the same answer.

                    In general what you describe is technically a subset of ancap+panarchy, which is what I meant by more constraints.
