I should point out that anarchism [1] means different things to differently people, and the anarchism of Kropotkin, quoted at the start of the above paper, is *very* different from Friedman's Anarcho-libertarianism, which has individual property rights at its heart. Friedman would argue that States are themselves > unstable. I'd recommend the transcript of the panel on this topic at > the Liberty Magazine Editor's conference a few years ago. (I'd dig it > up but I'm having browser problems right now.) > Thanks Perry, I'll hunt it out right away. My argument, though, isn't that states are stable -- merely that they're inevitable, in some form or the other. But I'll hunt for that transcript!
