I was waiting for someone to call me a statist. The state today does not equate the “state” at the beginning of civilization. We have allowed them to go well beyond the power they should have. The original intention of the “state” was to provide a framework for peaceful coexistence and redress harms. I never said might is right, I said might used to be used to protect property because there was no other way to protect it. Now we have laws the eliminate the necessity for the use of might to protect our property. My original quote was “you only own something insofar as you can defend it”.
