Governments have no legitimate political authority

Just like in the story "The Emperor's New Clothes", where the truth was so obvious that all it took was one kid pointing out that the emperor wasn't actually wearing clothes for people to admit

Forced wealth distribution is not fairness, it's the opposite

To give a quick example, consider the following: I plant an apple tree, wait for it to grow and then pick 20 apples from it. My neighbor only has two apples that he bought at a grocery store, since he

My political leanings

First and foremost, I'm a voluntaryist, which means I am against politics in general because I believe human interaction should be voluntary, and politics is coercive by its nature. I don't support voting
