So, you're an anarchist?

The difference being that I am referring to voluntary community standards. People agreeing to a set of rules together, as well as ways to deal with violations of the rules.

Before you say, "that's what we have now", what exists now is anything but voluntary. Whichever corporate state claims to own the piece of land you are born on, then claims that you are subject to its rules, and that you are its citizen (property). Nobody agrees to follow any of those rules, yet they are violently punished for disobeying them.

Again please refer to my post on Jurisdiction. Humoring your statement, what happens in the Anarchist world where I don't want to adhear to the Voluntary Community Standards of non aggression and form an Army to take everyone else's stuff?

  1. In a world where armies & wars are not the norm, where only sociopaths would get involved in such a thing, rather than people brainwashed into the belief in a fictional "state", you would be hard-pressed to raise an army.
  2. Non-aggression does not mean you cannot defend yourself.

It's not difficult for charismatic men to raise an army and no brainwashing is necessary. Check out Vikings on the History Channel.

It would be much more difficult in a world where violence is not the norm, which has been one of my key points. The culture & society that people grow up in set their understandings of the world, their ideas of what is normal, possible, and right. When someone grows up in a world where force & coercion are the accepted norms for how to organize, make decisions, resolve conflicts, etc, they are of course going to respond to things in their own life with force & coercion (or by outsourcing that force & coercion [voting]). If someone grows up without ever observing/experiencing humans using force & coercion to solve their problems (instead using communication, agreements, compromise, etc), then the chances they would ever respond to something in their life with violence are infinitesimally small.

I'm definitely not going to watch that haha. I stay away from the programming of states & corporations. Oh, and that isn't actually history... it's a fictional entertainment show.

A violent world IS the norm. Teach peace but not be niave.

Charismatic men and their cronies tear up the defenseless or underdefended.

Check out what I think about individual sovereignty.

Response to Sovereign Citizens. (So called).

Sovereign = free, self-owning
Citizen = subject, slave

To be a free sovereign you need an army to separate yourself from your current jurisdiction and maintain it otherwise the jealousy of the current paradigm will march though your castle and put you in actual slave irons, as opposed to the current ficticious ones.
