POSITIVE RECIPROCITY IS JUST AS IMPOSSIBLE AS POSITIVE FREEDOM.

Reciprocity: productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to productive externalities.

So, whenever you have doubts, try to imagine cases (operations) rather than general intuitions (ideals).

Warfare (reciprocal insurance of territorial monopoly and all capital within it) is the means by which we create reciprocity in the first place. So no, there is no escape from fighting.
