For the record, I can't see what firefop says because he's on my ignore list due to his antisocial and irrational behavior on the boards.
If true, that's interesting - and also quite ironic. It probably isn't the first time I've been ignored by a troll. But if the quality of your posts is anything to judge by, I'm honored to be on your ignore list.

Seems like firefap still does not unserstand what being on an ignore list means.
Gotta grant him: the idiot is nothing if not stubbornly persistent. Can someone quote the Einstenian definition of insanity for his benefit?

@ Myrkul - I have a question for you that would better elaborate your position:
Question: What is the nature of sovereignty? Where does sovereignty ultimately reside?
P.S. Others are welcome to comment as well.

Amazing... Myrkul is quite delusional... He answer questions with Wikipedia links and thinks that an image on a mirror is where sovereignty resides...

It's the person in the mirror, not the image. Just to reiterate, you're a moron. If you don't know what those words mean, maybe the OED will tell you.

I agree at one point in history this was the case, but once one state of forms, others form the same to either join in partnership or defend itself against it. In essence, states out-compete the individual. With this said, I say that there is no voluntary association with the state because if they do not join, they are subjugated to it. How does AnCap survive in this reality? There is not path to regress to this state of being. You may be able to setup a cove somewhere to try your experiment but once any threat to your sovereignty, you will need to join up not out of voluntary association, but necessity. At that point, people who do you join could either be an enemy or a threat to the whole and you would need to subjugate them to you system of rule of law. You system does not seem to be able to survive this real and present danger. Reply Kindly, D

There may be no voluntary association with the state, but there can be voluntary association to defend against the state. Get enough people together, and they can defend against the subjugation. The only requirement or "rule of law" is that they agree that subjugating another is wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muHg86Mys7I

Its a necessity out of being is a dire situation. You idea sounds nice and some parts are appealing but it is not realistic and would not form under the manner you state.

Have I correctly summarized your position?

The second you see this threat, you are then forced to act or be dominated. History is filled with this type of domination so this is not speculation.

So does the existence of rape make all sex non-consensual? What about defending my spouse from rape?

So does the existence of rape make all sex non-consensual? What about defending my spouse from rape? First off, I am disgusted that this is the best example you could come up with. Rape is an act of violence and domination just for the sole gratification of the aggressor. In contrast, there are good benefits of a state along with bad effect and actions. The two do not compare enough so I reject your premise.

Very well, If I rob you to pay for my grandmother's new hip, does that make the robbery OK? Does the fact that I am robbing you to pay for my grandmother's new hip make you purchasing a better lock a non-voluntary transaction?

Lets just stick the the discussion at hand. If that is all you can come up with to make your point, it doesn't sound like you have much of a rebuttal other than using stories with shock value and sympathy to make your point. In desperate times all people including you may do things that you wouldn't agree with.

States do not 'outcompete' the individual. Competition is, you do X, I do X, the best one wins. But that is not what states do -- what states do is, you do X, the state threatens you with ruin or death, game over.
People who use aggression to get what they want aren't 'competing'. They are just being malevolent. Malevolent people don't compete --- they just shoot you it you tell them 'no'.
Only a sociopathic person who wants organized aggression to take place would euphemize it as 'competition'. Like only a rapist would euphemize rape as 'lovemaking'.

You're an idiot. It's the person in the mirror, not the image. Just to reiterate, you're a moron. If you don't know what those words mean, maybe the OED will tell you. There is no person in the mirror and sovereignty is not related to an mirror image. You are really delusional.... There may be no voluntary association with the state, but there can be voluntary association to defend against the state. Get enough people together, and they can defend against the subjugation. The only requirement or "rule of law" is that they agree that subjugating another is wrong. http://mises.org/journals/lf/1971/1971_04.pdfI will describe for you the millenial long anarchic society of Celtic Ireland - destroyed after a six century struggle against the English State in the wake of the military victories, confiscations and genocidal policies of successive English governments in the 17th century.
(...)
The rebellions, conquests, and confiscations of the 17th century finished the destruction of the old anarchic society. So, why the Celtic Irish people did not voluntarily organized to defend themselves against the English state subjugation? Perhaps the Celtic Irish people did not have enough mirrors to find where their sovereignty resides?

I read once, I can try to find the reference, that if the Irish provincial kings had united they would have easily repelled the invaders. However, the invaders practised the very successful "divide and conquer" method, and exploited differences and petty wars to actually have the Irish fight themselves.
