No we both aren't right at all. You are completely wrong. For someone who whines and bitches about assertions you sure make lots of them.
Tell me again how Libertarianism deals with hordes of people that feel they are entitled to your stuff ? It doesn't. The libertarian solution is magic.
Yeah how lovely historically nations that start wars win them. Libertarian philosophy breaks down and relies on magic to deal with this problem.

The EXACT same way we do now. How do you not understand that? You just WANT it to not be true so you can say it won't work, but ignoring logic isn't an argument.
I think you are intentionally ignoring something very important. The initiation of force is allowed, but force used in defense is. If someone starts a war with us, it is morally right to defend ourselves.
If you're done trolling, I'm done wasting my time with you.

Oh so you are OK with taxing people to maintain a standing army.
You are also OK with maintaining military discipline in that army.
You are OK with taxes to maintain the border and keeping them in their cages.
You are OK with taxes to maintain a police force that locks people up for violating societal norms
Because that's what we do now. As opposed to your statement
Where you make it pretty damn plain you are morally opposed to all those things.
