1) How can you conquer those who adhere to no leader?

2) Wouldn't those neighbors have guns too? Seems like a "stand off" would arise quickly and it would turn into a stalemate.

Before I ask more specific questions, I just thought I'd ask for some clarification. Are you a 100% anarchist that endorses no government whatsoever?

Exactly how far do your views go?

I am not an Anarchist who dislikes all authority. The only authority I agree is the authority who has equal power and rights of the people. Someone like a blacksmith, or a parent. A lead engineer. They gain there authority they aren't given more rights than anyone else.

Small, localized government is what I agree with, almost like city-states. The "city-states" decide the form of economy, it can be socialist, communist, capitalist, what ever floats there boat, but it should be decided by the people.


Sorry it took a while to reply.

In political philosophy, Libertarianism is a position that advocates the maximization of individual liberty[1] and the minimization or even abolition of the state.[2][3] Libertarians embrace viewpoints across a political spectrum, ranging from pro-property to anti-property (sometimes phrased as "right" versus "left"), from minarchist to openly anarchist.[4][5][6][7]

All schools of libertarianism support strong personal rights to life and liberty, though there is disagreement on the subject of private property. The most commonly known formulation of libertarianism supports free market capitalism[8][9][10] by advocating a right to private property, including property in the means of production,[11] minimal government regulation of that property, minimal taxation, and rejection of the welfare state, all within the context of the rule of law.[12][13][14] Some pro-property libertarians are anarchists who call for the elimination of the state.[15] Some call the pro-property view propertarian, and some pro-property libertarians believe a "propertarian philosophy" is a weak basis for libertarian morality.[16] A number of countries have libertarian parties which run candidates for political office.

Libertarian socialists, unlike right-wing libertarians, are opposed to structures of authority and hierarchy in personal relations and the larger social order.[17] Most notably they are opposed to state power and forms of private property such as capital.[18][19][20] These libertarians often believe in the abolition of private property and may be called non-propertarian or anti-propertarian.[21][22] They do not seek state solutions, instead looking to voluntary and popularly controlled associations.[23][24][25]
