>does nothing to prevent a state from going maniacally tyrannical towards its own people

Which is why you shouldn't have a state to begin with. :ancap:

@xianc78 @inorez @Mogami @ChristiJunior @DK_Dharmaraj That can't be achieved. You will have a state. If you're lucky, it will be ran by your own people. :alexjonesdetermination:
@xianc78 @rasterman @Mogami @ChristiJunior @inorez @DK_Dharmaraj No one's reading a giant fag article that makes your point for you. Make it here in this thread, and make it yourself.
@xianc78 @rasterman @Mogami @ChristiJunior @inorez

Tell me you are a faggot without doing anything but linking to a gay ass blog post
@xianc78 @Mogami @ChristiJunior @inorez @DK_Dharmaraj I read it just so I could berate you accurately. The article makes a lot of infantile assumptions about how people work, while acknowledging some problems it provides no solutions for other than the hope that they can be reasoned civilly. But that's not even what I was talking about. I was not referring to in-fighting in the libertarian utopia, but about neighbouring states conquering the libertarian non-country. That alone is a huge problem even before considering warlords from within.

Well that's really a constant problem everywhere, isn't it? It's not like you being in a fascist/communist/liberal/ancap/whatever place is somehow gonna change the fact that war is the natural state of the world, invading forces are always at the gate, and peace is only temporary. The problem if anything would be whether people are actually willing to defend what's theirs or if they would simply bend the knee whenever trouble arises.

It changes your ability to exist in that world.

This is essentially the difference between authright and libright. Authright are willing to defend what is right, libright are not.
@kerosene @ChristiJunior @DK_Dharmaraj @Mogami @inorez @xianc78 Maybe if the libertarian non-country that has no borders but will defend them from invaders can project the idea of power, it will be left alone by foreign powers. You'd have a harder time negotiating peaceful relations with neighbours if you have no nation to being with. It sounds false to consider the risk of invasion by hostile nations to be equal between a nation or a non-nation.
