Other states exist
Or if there is only one state, the. You just keep going back to ancap places until there is none left
At which point then you fight
But I doubt there would ever be one state
Because former ancaps would team up and form a state just to defeat the Invaders and stop them
What? The fact that there is another state doesn't mean it's a good choice
Of all the countries that exist today how many would you want to live in?
Over out right dying? Most.
It's not outright death
I would at least consider living under the radar in a place that is not currently involved in the war.
You seem to be setting up a series of false dichotomies instead of addressing the core issue
Which is?
Your issue ultimately isn't specific to ancapistan and your solution is to allow tyranny to grow
Which is a strategy that provably doesn't work
The us is tyranny?
Your solution to an invading force is to keep fleeing
And again, the US is temporary, it is not a constant
Do people not do that?
It will not always be a superpower and it will not always be free
Flee war?
Tell me, how effective was isis or Al queda?
The 20th century is full of examples of what happens when you refuse or are u able to defend yourself against tyrants
Any of the Syria rebels?
Right because no other major issues were caused by Syria
It's all just localized to the middle east
Why haven't any of those groups kept control?
Because there's a bigger tyrant
And said tyrant is attacking other countries
And has done so under a prior imperial regime
So all European countries and the US are, in fact, tyrants?
Russia is
Russia is backing Assad
Russia is why ISIS has been forced out of Iraq?
Russia is why none of the rebel groups unseated Assad
So in other words, smaller states or groups of people are only allowed to exist if bigger states allow them?
In an area where the larger stare already controls and is familiar with the landscape?
As opposed to your prior example of a foreign invading force?
Methinks the goalposts have shifted somewhat. Further, before the obvious example is used, Assad didn't make Syria out of nothing. It's a long established plot of land
Getting back to my previous point: who stops the warlord and who stops the formation of a state who want to oppose the warlord?
How do you stop the greedy from playing within the rules, bending them slightly, to form power?
