We can allow anyone reading to decide. You need to provide it before you can disagree with me. You've provided nothing for anyone to decide.
Here's what I'm getting at...It places all the burden of proof on the peaceful people, when the burden of proof should be on the people who want to violate people's rights. We should be the ones saying "prove that statism is necessary, and if we're not convinced then you don't get a state". Unfortunately we're the minority and can't enforce that yet.
It's the same as arguing with someone who says "well you can't prove that God doesn't exist, so you need to follow his commands". The burden is on that person to prove it, not for us to prove that he doesn't exist.

Because there are very, very, very, few interested in no state, not even you........the idea that there should be is what created the country to start with.
I can argue that we should spend trillions in trying to colonize Pluto but I'm not going to get anywhere because I have no workable plan to do it or enough people even interested.
Are you telling me the ends don't justify the means?
That's not what you were promoting earlier.
The only real thing I've promoted is the proven idea that you are unable to provide a better alternative. It goes this way every time.
