   anarchy means *no authority*   
      
   one cannot enter into binding agreements under anarchy because there is   
   *no authority* to enforce those agreements   
      
   anarchy proper *must* be predicated on actual *voluntarism*, that is not   
   only *agreed* at start, but also *maintained* into the future, *without   
   coercion* involved

   yes, because ancaps are not anarchists   
      
   the term is literally an oxymoron

   no it's not. ur totally ignoring the land limitations that *we've   
   already hit*   
      
   we've grown far past the point of subsistence living being possible for   
   most people. people are *forced* to depend on he production system put   
   into place long before they were born... or die. that is just a fact of   
   having a planet our size with 8 billion people on it   
      
   a system where *all* the productive land and resource are owned by   
   people who only dole out life sustaining resources in "voluntary"   
   transaction contracts ... is not a truly voluntary system, and never will be

   this is just going to get worse as 21st century automation vastly   
   increases the amount of land/resources that large orgs can physical   
   maintain a productive presence and control over
