Well written. To address the obvious straw man objection by statist apologists “but humans are inherently evil and selfish,” I say that it is this self-interest that makes statelessness and non-aggression possible. For the few people who are not driven by self-interest but rather self-destruction, there can always be common-sense stateless solutions to them, much better than anything the state could provide.

Always fascinating to think about how a truly free market would create incentives to behave in a decent manner.

I highly recommend reading the linked blog post.
