==== Managerial State As Deep State. ====
Mercer has connected the concept of the “Managerial State” to that of the “Deep State,” bandied about in the Trump era.<ref>https://townhall.com/columnists/ilanamercer/2017/03/09/the-donald-vs-the-deep-state-n2296243</ref>

On the left, observed Mercer, the Public Broadcasting Service's Bill Moyers had spoken about the concept “Deep State” in 2014. On the right, James Burnham wrote about the “Deep State” in 1941, except, says Mercer, Burnham called it the “Managerial State.”<ref>https://billmoyers.com/2014/02/21/anatomy-of-the-deep-state/</ref>

==== Anarchism ====
Mercer argues that fundamentally different and competing views of justice (right and wrong) will inevitably arise in anarchy.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV4r1MIABuo</ref> Viewing natural law as immutable, and the search for truth as the ultimate value of justice, Mercer says she cannot accept this.<ref>https://misesuk.org/2015/04/15/libertarian-anarchisms-justice-problem/</ref>

In the context of the private production of defense, Mercer states that in the case of murder, the forfeiture of just retribution implies that the right to life is a right that the victim’s proxies can choose to alienate or relinquish, if they choose,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV4r1MIABuo</ref>and that some victims will not be covered by a “punishment agency.” After all, who sees to it that justice is achieved in the case of those who cannot afford or don’t want to contract with a private firm?

She makes the point that there is little incentive for an agency to pursue a dangerous offender who has not harmed a client, and therefore asks if we rely on a bunch of good neighbors who will take up arms and hunt the man/woman down. Or, rather, as a society, through the law, make a public declaration of the few abiding and immutable values we wish to uphold (i.e., criminal must be brought to justice and tried in a court of law).<ref>https://www.wnd.com/2015/04/libertarian-anarchisms-justice-problem/</ref>She concludes that, to the extent possible, there must be a commitment, however imperfect, to justice for all and not only for those who’ve contracted with an agency, and that “The danger of reducing justice in cases of such crimes to a negotiated deal strikes [her] as moral relativism if not a recipe for nihilism.”<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV4r1MIABuo</ref>
