That makes zero sense bro. Either you believe in rights or you don't. If the former is true, you should recognize people's rights to elect for centralized government.

    Governments are essentially monopolies on the use of violence. However individuals don't have the "right" to initiate force against innocent people, right? Explain how an individual or a group of individuals can delegate rights that they themselves don't have to other people.

          Do you seriously expect to have more freedom of choice under a system that lends itself just as well to centralization?

            Do explain how not believing in the right to systematically violate rights makes zero sense.
            I believe in rights, and the right to elect a centralized government is the right to infringe on the rights of others. THAT'S what makes zero sense. So, people who "believe in a centralized government" are actually the people who don't believe in rights.

            Do you have the right to
            -steal
            -murder
            -rape
            -kidnap
            -ect?
            You know, things that are fundamentally the violation of rights.
            If not, then how can you delegate a right that you yourself do not have?

            Do explain how the systematic recognition of the rights/sovereignty of others (anarchy/voluntaryism) lends itself to centralization.
