([[DBR]]) To advocate anarchism is not to advocate a system. It’s simply to maintain that aggression is unjust, and to recognize that the state commits aggression. If you oppose rape, that does not mean you have to show that “non-rape” or “a world without non-rape” is “workable.” You oppose rape and other private crimes because they are crimes.

Fallacy:
"Don't force anarchy on me, bro!"
Response:
The concept of forcing self-ownership (voluntaryism) on someone is ridiculous. How do you force "leaving alone" or the NonAggressionPrinciple on someone? They aren't forced to pay for it; they aren't forced to work for you; the only time the voluntaryist condones non-consensual force is in self-defense.
