I’d support abolishing borders with the caveat that right to discriminate and not let outsiders become integrated into your local community is also a right that the members of the community get to exercise at their own discretion for any reason they choose. I mean all of it. The doctors can decide not to treat you. The stores can decide not to sell to you. The roads paid for by members of the community, to include local taxation can be closed to you though with that I’d add the proviso that you would not be obliged to pay in. It’s also not immediately clear to me why someone gets to move to a community and immediately get the vote. Whether that person moved 75 miles or 7,500 miles.

If we’re talking about communities being forced to accept outsiders it might be that blowback is a serious possibility and it might be that nobody likes who the blowback is going to be aimed at.

Read Hans Hermann Hoppe, in his writing he explains an idea called Physical Removal in which the community excludes unwanted elements from society.

Essentially people with different viewpoints, ideology, beliefs, religion, race, etc. will naturally form their own capability communities.

Yes, and a dozen here and there with compatible culture moving in isn’t the same as say tripling the population of a county in 30 years. Whether the cultures are compatible or not that’s still a shock on the system.

I am too lazy to argue.

Do you still pay taxes for the roads to be maintained?

Yes but if it’s all funded by taxes from the local community I’d argue they still have the right to exclude people who haven’t been paying local taxes if they exempt those people from having to pay going forward. Taxes get iffy on this stuff. In the absence of tax funded roads the property rights would be more easily assigned.

I’d also argue that tax funded roads, police, schools and medical care are all welfare programs and would need to end before abolishing borders.
