We live in a society where we are all supposed to follow the rules, we lend representatives some of our power as the people so they can represent us (both sides) as a whole nation, in accepting those unspoken rules, we do indeed give our government the right to interfere via a democratic majority in order to succeed as a fully functioning republic

It's when the minority strikes out and steals that power from we the people that turns us into a banana Republic as what has just happened

The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State, is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.

Rothbard is wrong. You want to effectively defend against China (or Britain, or Mexico, or Germany and Japan, or the USSR) invading you? You're going to need centralised command and strategy. At that point you have government, whether you call it that or not.

I guess you think individuals will prevent immigration too?
