The Social Problem: Is Anarchy the Solution? A Constructivist Perspective

The question of which social setting best minimizes coercion has long divided the libertarian community. Minarchists advocate for a minimal state confined to police, defense, and justice, while anarcho-capitalists call for the complete abolition of the state in favor of market-based alternatives. This enduring debate is not merely ideological but logical. This work, inspired by radical constructivism, employs a method derived from constructivist psychology, and rooted in formal logic, as a conceptual tool to analyze and deconstruct the logical underpinnings of each position. By revealing a paradox at the core of minarchism, the analysis reframes the debate and offers new perspectives on the search for a stable, liberty-maximizing social order.
