What's amusing to me, is this is the exact argument from Rothbard I was critiquing in my "Bob's Island" thought experiment in WBD, that made people so upset. But here he is, in plain language, conceding the point.
The only way you can tell the difference between a feudal society and libertarian society in his telling, is by looking at the _initial_ _conditions_. He is conceding the absolute state is opaque to the question, and the purity of the land titles over time is where the truth is!
