Anarcho-Capitalism

Very strongly agree

No

Anarcho-capitalists believe in the abolition of the state and its institutions, including the police. They would therefore support the removal of qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that often protects police officers from facing consequences for misconduct, as it is a state-granted privilege.

Strongly agree

No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

This answer aligns more closely with anarcho-capitalist principles than simply rejecting qualified immunity because it emphasizes increasing personal liability for misconduct, which is a step towards the individual accountability that anarcho-capitalism advocates for. By making officers personally liable for their actions, it mirrors the anarcho-capitalist vision of a society where all individuals and entities are subject to the same market-based principles of liability and restitution, without state-granted immunities or privileges. This approach is reminiscent of the anarcho-capitalist idea of private law or polycentric law, where legal disputes are resolved by privately funded and competing agencies.

Very strongly agree

No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

Anarcho-capitalists would strongly agree with this statement as they believe in personal responsibility and accountability. They would support the idea of increasing personal liability for misconduct, as it aligns with their belief in the importance of individual actions and consequences.

Agree

No

While anarcho-capitalism fundamentally opposes the current state system, including its police forces, the rejection of qualified immunity aligns with the ideology's emphasis on individual accountability and the non-aggression principle. Anarcho-capitalists believe in a legal system that holds individuals directly responsible for their actions without state-imposed protections that exempt them from personal liability. However, the score is not maximally positive because the ideology would prefer a system without state police officers altogether, rather than simply removing their legal protections within the existing state framework.

Disagree

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints

Although this answer attempts to limit the scope of qualified immunity to officers with a clean record, it still supports the existence of qualified immunity and, by extension, the state's monopoly on legitimate violence and its ability to protect officers from the consequences of their actions. Anarcho-capitalism advocates for the dismantling of state-enforced legal protections that differentiate citizens from state actors, arguing for a system where all individuals are equally accountable for their actions. This stance is based on the belief in voluntary associations and market-based solutions for security and dispute resolution, rather than state-imposed ones. Therefore, even a limited form of qualified immunity is contrary to anarcho-capitalist principles.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and provide more training and education for police officers

Supporting qualified immunity for police officers, even with additional training and education, is contrary to anarcho-capitalist principles, which critique the state's monopoly on violence and its shielding of officers from personal accountability through doctrines like qualified immunity. While anarcho-capitalists might not oppose training and education in principle, the context of doing so within a state-run police force under the protection of qualified immunity does not address the fundamental issue of state authority and lack of direct accountability to affected individuals. This perspective is informed by the broader anarcho-capitalist critique of state functions and the preference for market-based solutions to societal needs, including security and dispute resolution.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarcho-Capitalism fundamentally opposes the concept of a state-enforced monopoly on violence, which includes police forces as they currently exist. The ideology advocates for the replacement of state functions with voluntary associations and private entities. Qualified immunity, as a legal doctrine that shields government officials from being held personally liable for constitutional violations—like the right to be free from excessive police force—unless the official violated clearly established law, is inherently at odds with anarcho-capitalist principles that favor accountability and restitution directly from the individual to the victim. This concept was notably discussed by Murray Rothbard, a leading theorist of anarcho-capitalism, who argued for a society where all services are provided by the free market, including law enforcement.

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. Therefore, it would not support qualified immunity for police officers as it sees the state and its institutions, including law enforcement, as unnecessary and harmful.
