        I mean its totally accurate, Pretty much all countries today can trace their current borders back to violence, most land ownership traces back to violence, laws are one way or another enforced by the threat of violence…

          Anarchists don’t seek authority, though.

                He devoured the pig and took his land. How is that not using violence?

                  No one ever claimed that it wasn’t violent. That’s the whole punchline.

                    How is violently taking over land and giving it to your family not “seeking authority”?

      And nation states rob their subjects of this option.
