Hans Herman Hoppe, has a vision of the world which he calls Anarcho-Capitalism and where there is no public government, but just private property, including streets, rivers etc.
He attacks both democracy and government is in his book, "Democracy: The God that Failed," published by Transaction Books at Rutgers Univ.

He is very much involved in the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.

I discuss Hoppe's book in depth in my book, "Pernicious: The Neo-Confederate Campaign against Social Justice in America."
Turns out there is a dystopian science fiction comic book where the story takes place in a world with the idea of no public government and everything being private property. I think in observing it we can see what the world advocated by Hoppe might be like.

It seems it is going to become a television show.

I think the television show will be a good antidote to the anti-democratic ideas of Hoppe and others. However, it won't educate the public that there are anti-democratic movements or make people aware that there is a neo-Confederate movement.
