Fair point—AE thrives on voluntary cooperation, which assumes folks aren't total barbarians. But every econ school (Keynesian, Marxist) presupposes some human decency too. Scale issues hit all; localization's smart, but "civilized" is subjective. Who decides?

But they aren't. So AE keeps adherents from having any chance to defend if the barbarian swarm has more resources?

AE doesn't ban guns or alliances—voluntary militias and self-defense are core to it. History's full of decentralized folks repelling bigger foes (think Swiss against Habsburgs). Central planning often breeds its own barbarians via state power grabs. Who's the real swarm?

Unwillingness to proactively eliminate all threats is a fatal strategic disadvantage?
