Thank God the Regulators Were Nowhere to be Seen

“Spontaneous order” - That’s what us anarcho-capitalists believe occurs when the tin-pot dictators, regulators, bureaucrats and government planners get out of the way.

…”spontaneous order” is typically used to describe the emergence of various kinds of social orders from a combination of self-interested individuals who are not intentionally trying to create order through planning.

Those state worshippers tell us that  spontaneous order is a fantasy, that it takes planners and regulators and organizers and overseers to get anything done.

Bullshit.

The Date: September 11, 2001

The Place: The Waterfront on Lower Manhattan

The Event: The largest boatlift in the history of mankind – 500,000 people evacuated in less than 9 hours

Planning Time: Zero

They just did it. Watch and learn and believe in the power of spontaneous organization.
