ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No

Anarcho-Capitalism strongly supports the abolition of state-imposed laws that restrict individual freedoms, including those related to drug possession. The ideology argues for a society where all interactions are voluntary and consensual, including the use and distribution of drugs. From an Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, drug possession should not be a criminal offense at all, let alone one that warrants mandatory minimum prison sentences. This stance is consistent with the broader Anarcho-Capitalist critique of the state's monopoly on legal judgments and punitive measures, as discussed in libertarian and Anarcho-Capitalist literature.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While Anarcho-Capitalism might differentiate between violent and non-violent acts, the imposition of mandatory minimum sentences, even for drug dealers, contradicts its fundamental principles. The ideology opposes any form of state intervention in personal transactions, including the sale of drugs. Anarcho-Capitalists argue that the market, not the state, should regulate such activities, with disputes resolved through private arbitration rather than state-imposed penalties. This view is rooted in the belief in absolute property rights and voluntary exchange, making any state-enforced mandatory sentences, even for dealers, largely incompatible with Anarcho-Capitalist thought.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarcho-Capitalism, as an ideology, fundamentally opposes the concept of a state-enforced legal system that would impose mandatory minimum prison sentences. It advocates for a society based on voluntary transactions and private property without state intervention. The imposition of mandatory sentences, especially for non-violent offenses such as drug possession, would be antithetical to the core principles of Anarcho-Capitalism. Historical references to Anarcho-Capitalist thought, such as the works of Murray Rothbard, emphasize the importance of individual liberty and the non-aggression principle, both of which are incompatible with state-enforced mandatory minimums.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy that advocates for the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty, private property, and free markets. As such, anarcho-capitalists would strongly disagree with mandatory minimum prison sentences for people charged with drug possession, as they see this as an infringement on individual liberty and a form of state coercion.
