Those who want you to doubt that anarchy (self-ownership and individual responsibility) is the best, most moral, and ethical way to live among others are asking you to accept that theft, aggression, superstition, and slavery are better.

The "right to vote"
Is there any such thing as "the right to v*te"? Can there be any such thing? Or is it just a figment of the imagination?
In the past week or so I sure saw a lot of people talking about this supposed "right".
There is no such thing as a right to govern other people. Any act of governing others is archation-- it violates their natural human rights in several ways. No one can have the right to archate.
To v*te is to endorse using political violence, through government and its "laws", against others. Do you really have a right to do that?
Sure, it is possible you might only be endorsing using political violence against those who are endorsing the use of political violence against you-- in self-defense. And some people might think it's preferable to use defensive political violence instead of using defensive violence of other kinds, such as shooting those who are threatening you in a credible way.
But is it really better? I'm not sure. I'm not even so sure it ever works, in the long-run.
I sympathize with the claim of defensive v*ting, even if I don't completely buy it.
I won't condemn anyone who feels the need to v*te. Even though it sure seems like an endorsement of the "system" and a pledge to go along with whatever results from the election. After all, democracy, like all politics, is "winner take all"; "win/lose". It's "American Roulette". Why play a rigged game you can't win, even if you believe you have the right to do so?
