IAN: Robbery is a violation of property rights. Pointing to the
theft of property is not a logical way to argue for the abolition
of property rights.

IAN: Your free to work for only two hours a day right now. Many others
want to work for more that two hours. Hell, live and let work.

IAN: Who decides how much I need? Me or you? Under your system you decide
what others need, so the idea that you support any anarco system is false.
All collectivism that is not happy with the right people have now to go off
and buy some cheap land and form a free collective is inherently statist.
