Yes, they will. Geez, you're pretty ignorant of how effective militias are. You don't need nukes, tanks, or jets to defend a few homesteads. Most of those are easy enough to defeat with training and some good prep. I'm more concerned about quiet hive-mind drone swarms...

Why can't you conceive of people doing things together without force being involved? How poorly have you lived for that to not ebbed be a conceptual option to you?

WTF! Why would I duel someone over a broken contract? You're wild, in a bad way, if that's the first thing you think of. You can't even see how prone to violence and coercion you are. I get it. I used to think like that, too, but thankfully, I've learned to be better than that.

The fact is nukes and tanks and jets are technology that already exist, today. They don’t just go *poof* and disappear once you and your neighbors decide to band together in a non coercive lifestyle. If Russia (or China, or the Middle East, etc.) exist on the other side of the planet, they will come and take you over. If you say “but why would they do this?” Then look at history. Human history is filled with countless examples of people colonizing far off places, often times not even at the behest of the state, but for their own self interest (glory, money, etc). This will not stop.

If you somehow imagine those states as also disappearing during your ancap revolution, than it will become an arms race to see who can build a state and capture the most territory and resources first. Why? Because they are incentivized to do so, and incentives matter.

Until all of those things are completely operated by AI, you don't directly attack those things. You attack the people in/using/directing them. You disable them. You hide from them.

No one wants a land war on US soil. It would bankrupt the countries that attempted to do it, both in people and resources. Sure, it would suck, but the world wouldn't end and life, in general, would go on, even if nukes are launched.

I don't want a revolution, I mostly just want to be left to my own devices to do what I want on my own land without paying protection money to the mob, er, government.
