I agree with Michael here. (Sorry I haven't been continuing on this
thread...:)

I'd also like to know which libertarian theorists these are that Rafal
is speaking of. Certainly not Rothbard, George H. Smith, or
Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Granted, these aren't the only libertarian
theorists out there, but I just want to know and what their arguments
are.

Cheers!
