Larken, I'd like to ask you a question, since I'm having trouble coming around to the anarchist point of view.

Question: How do individuals in an anarchist setting protect themselves from aggressors? Now I know you think that everyone should just do the right thing, and I'm sure the majority would, but there are always some bad people out there. How exactly do we protect ourselves from them? Do we form a group, or a coalition to fight them off? If we do something like that might it not be necessary to fund that group? Might we not ask for some kind of funding to help our brave protectors keep us safe. Wait... is that just taxes by another name?
