@roymaitland ???You just reply with these words that in no way argue against what I said. Voting is a concept. What exactly the fuck does voting mean? Voting in democracy by definition means to point guns at people.

Where exactly does this authority come from? How can a group of people get together and claim authority over everyones property, and the right to use force against them?

They can't is the simple answer. Government has no legitimate authority.

@HumbleWillis Good questions with no easy answers. Remember, the non aggression principle is an admonition against the INITIATION of force. Do not conflate it with turning the other cheek as it is not a prohibition against self defense. Don't forget the extent to which even the most despotic regimes are reliant upon the consent of the governed. The less compliant and the more awakened we are, the more arduous their task of oppression becomes.

Anyone who would deny these truths or try to argue with counter points is fooling themselves or attempting to fool others, flexing their intellectual muscles, trying to prove to themselves that they are smarter. These truths will remain whether you are naive, stupid, intelligent, have different opinions, it does not matter! You cannot argue away reality, no matter how unpleasant. If you are not stating blunt and obvious(to some) truth like in this video, you are lying to yourself.

This is all very nice, but how exactly do you get us from here to there? The state isn't just going to relinquish control because you asked nicely. They are an entity of force and coercion and that's all they understand. How do you get an entity like that to walk away and leave you alone while adhering to the non-aggression principle?

Don't get me wrong. I like what you're saying and I'd like to live like that, but I just don't see how we get there.
