Brass tacks
George Potter said this here. Awe-inspiring in its simplicity and, well, getting-down-to-brass-tacks thoroughness:
Rights: Not granted or protected by any state, God or magical hoodoo monster. What we call rights are reciprocal agreements negotiated on the fly between individuals. They are not granted, but claimed and defended. Otherwise they do not exist.
Constitution: quaint late 18th century idea that never worked.
Minarchy: A little bit pregnant.
Anarchy: the actual state of the world. The non-system we all live in.
Government: criminal syndicate extorting protection money from and interfering with the anarchic process of individuals claiming and defending their rights.
Law: a once noble idea of codifying the most basic of rights', now perverted into a system of social control.
Outlaw: the only path left open to moral human beings with a backbone and a desire to be left alone.
