War, Foreign Invasion & Private Military Defense

As discussed previously, defense is totally in accordance with the non-aggression principle and voluntaryism. If individuals are under threat, they should take whatever action necessary to defend their person, property, or that of another, whether that is on an individual/family basis, or something more like a militia or an armed protective services company on a grand scale.

Probably one of the most common criticisms of a state-less society is that, without a "government", who would protect the population from being invaded and conquered... and then having a (theoretically worse) "government" imposed on them? Looking at our existing "government" with its confiscatory taxation, monopoly privileges for cronies, dishonest, inflationary monetary system, and never-ending wars based on lies and manufactured intelligence, it is hard to see how it could possibly be worse. One of my favorite jokes is asking people if the Russians promised to cut our taxes by 35% and knock off the propaganda, indoctrination and woke culture, would you support an invasion?
