What would security look like in a society without government? In this episode of the Bad Roman podcast, host Craig Harguess sits down with Jeff Perry from Voluntarism in Action to explore this intriguing question. They delve into the concept of voluntary society security, discussing how private security firms, insurance-based models, and community-based solutions could replace traditional policing. The conversation critiques the current government-run police system, highlighting issues like qualified immunity, police militarization, and lack of accountability. Jeff and Craig explain how free market principles could offer better incentives and outcomes for security services, challenging the "foundational myth" that government exists to protect us. From a Christian perspective, they explore how voluntary solutions align more closely with Christian principles than coercive government systems. This episode is sure to provoke thought and encourage listeners to reconsider their views on security and governance. Tune in for a compelling discussion that questions the status quo and envisions a freer, more ethical society.   For Full Show Notes: https://www.thebadroman.com/show-notes/episode-115   TWO WAYS TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT: TASTE IT BAD ROMAN SALSA or HELP GROW THE BAG thebadroman.com/donate   Starting Points and Key Moments: 00:02 Jeff and Sarah's Episode 00:22 Recurring Question on Security in a Voluntary Society 01:53 Jeff Perry's Article on Voluntary Society Security 3:07 Personal Experiences and Reflections 4:20 Police and State Power 7:14 Qualified Immunity and Police Accountability 11:07 Voluntary Society and Security Models 16:32 Economic Incentives and Market Solutions 20:22 Addressing Concerns about the Poor 24:56 Misconceptions about Lawlessness 30:34 Private Prisons vs. Private Policing 36:49 Military and National Defense 40:39 Closing Thoughts 43:06 Contribution to The Show 47:28 Final Remarks   For more on The Bad Roman Project: Blog submissions: thebadroman.com/contribute-to-the-blog Connect with us on social: thebadroman.com/social-links Want to get more involved?
