7 ways Quinn Cozens is an anarcho-capitalist

Quinn Cozens isn’t just a libertarian. He’s an anarcho-capitalist who distrusts anything and everything governments supposedly “provide.”

Statism doesn’t raise people—it raises livestock. Quinn’s entire worldview is hell-bent on burning that barn to the ground.

But what makes him an anarcho-capitalist? Why not a classical liberal or minarchist?

Quinn has his reasons, and the seven issues below drive home exactly why he knows the state’s an unnecessary evil that needs to burn in Hell so spontaneous order and voluntary consent can rise from the ashes.

1 – Vendetta against public schooling

Even before he became an anarcho-capitalist, Quinn always hated school. He saw no reason for attending lectures on subjects he’d never use in a career, and couldn’t stand the way his classmates just reacted.

The bell rang, and they’d rush to their next class. And god-forbid if anyone walked in the “wrong direction,” or else the teachers standing at the foot of the stairs redirected them.

Hell, god-forbid if they didn’t walk the halls in a straight line, go to the restroom at their choosing, or if they dared to bring bottled water to class.

Quinn also knew he had no personal sovereignty in the “free and compulsory” system. He was a cog in the state’s indoctrination machine.

2 – Love for a certain Chaos Theory

I once read Bob Murphy’s Chaos Theory and recommend it to anyone curious about how a completely privatized society would function. Quinn also read and took everything the book said to heart, and it reinforced his anarcho-capitalist views when the rest of the world spat on them.

What did we like about it the most? Murphy never shies away from objections. He identifies and picks them apart with surgical precision.

3 – Sees through foreign intervention

By the time Quinn comprehended war, America had been in Iraq and Afghanistan for a while.

Classmates and teachers quipped the U.S. was conducting “humanitarian work” and “spreading freedom and democracy,” but Quinn kept track of the body count on all sides.

Then came the conflicts in Libya and Syria, and later, Ukraine and Gaza, all while a war had been going on for a while in Yemen.

He realized that war was a racket, and if one ended, another began. By the time he was 29, the Great Middle Eastern War erupted, and there was no going back as America and its allies took on Iran and its allies.

4 – Sees corruption at the micro level

What separates Quinn from minarchists? He wants no local public funding.

Decentralized tyranny is still tyranny. Someone working for your local government violating your rights is no better than a federal agent. Your prison cell’s just closer to home.

That opens the doors for corruption, regardless of which side of the Ohio River Quinn’s on.

5 – Calls out inflation for what it really is

Normies see inflation as an increase in prices. Quinn sees through the bullsh*t, knowing price increases are the symptom—monetary expansion is the disease.

During and after COVID, while most complained of “corporate greed” when prices skyrocketed, Quinn stood with the likes of Senator Rand Paul. The burning question: If it was greed, why didn’t they jack up prices before the monetary supply increased?

6 – Knows government-provided services don’t reflect public demand

Quinn doesn’t just oppose the state on moral grounds. He knows it’s incapable of serving real human needs, because it has no market signals to guide it.

He learned that, in the private sector, profit and loss give producers an accurate picture of what consumers want. It’s another reason he’s against public schools and any and all public “services,” even at the local level.

7 – Realizes personal responsibility erodes as the state expands

So, why can’t people always take care of themselves if left to their own devices, especially as they age? Why can’t they all educate their kids themselves, if you need an example?

Quinn knows most parents won’t, or they think they’re incapable, because they’re conditioned to assume it’s the state’s job. Just as they think the state’s supposed to build roads and provide emergency services.

Not because they’re incapable of taking care of themselves, but because statism squashed personal responsibility out of them. “Thanks” to that public school they attended.

Anarcho-capitalist to the core

In Beyond the Lost Horizon, Quinn’s not afraid to let his anarcho-capitalist viewpoints shine. He’s also a revisionist lay historian, something he hides under his facade as a sports writer.
