But still, no matter how you look at it, there are rules that are, to one degree or another, objectively conditioned for execution. Traffic regulations can be cited as an example. Currently, compliance with traffic rules is regulated by the state. What will happen if this regulation disappears? Anarchy on the roads means deaths.

This kind of rules are developed in precisely an anarchic way. There was no state on the roads when the first cars appeared, and when there were enough of them for a need for interaction rules to arise. Which side to drive on, how to yield to each other at intersections, how to best mark the roads — all this began to emerge even before the state intruded upon the roads.

It was only later that the state placed traffic controllers at intersections, and then traffic lights, thereby giving birth to traffic jams. It was only later that the state began to set speed limits and fine those who exceeded them. And finally, it was the state that built a vast number of highways at the taxpayers’ expense, creating non-market competition for many other ways of moving.

People easily create spontaneous order in any situation when they truly need it, and they solidify successful practices so as not to rediscover them every time, for laziness and egoism are the best harmonizers of society. Even under ideal conditions, the state is capable of creating only a passable crutch for such spontaneous order, and trying to beat with a stick everyone who sabotages the use of the crutch.

What are you staring at? Take the crutch and get going!
