The rise of the nation state was made possible by fiat money. Empires expand by conquest in order to suppress rents on trade and localize them, just as governments evolve by suppressing local rents (parasitism),centralizing them,and then using them to pay for cost of suppression.

So you mean, you don’t understand semantics, grammar, consistency, correspondence, coherence, parsimony and falsifiability?The only requirement for a libertarian identity is sovereignty, and therefore reciprocity, and therefore reciprocal insurance of sovereignty and reciprocity.
