Response to Roaming Millennial's Problem with Libertarians

My examples were intellectual property & abortion, not rape.

But even with rape, it must be objectively defined. If one agency believes a husband can’t rape his wife, or that it’s okay for a believer to force himself on an infidel (in the case of Sharia law) then you’ve got an agency that will violate rights.

Anarchy means such agencies can & will exist because there can be no consensus on what does & doesn’t constitute a violation of rights.

That’s why you need a proper government that is capable of holding ALL violators of rights accountable under one objective law that is applicable to all

Any thoughts on my last point @finnian ?

Do you see how it does no good to agree that rape (or any other form of aggression) is wrong if there can be no agreement on what constitutes rape? A moral authority is needed to define it, so that all whom are guilty of rape can be held accountable for it. Without that, you’ve got different agencies defending different actions, many of which will be immoral (a husband raping his wife for example)
