By that logic, the very existence of borders means war. Or are you making the point that ultimately, all authority derives from violence? Including the authority to enforce contracts and private property?
And I have no clue where you got the idea the crew would be worse than arrested. This has happened before, you know - they're simply not allowed to unload the ship or enter the country. By the dreaded men with guns.
- DINKDINK 8y ago>are you making the point that ultimately, all authority derives from violence? Authority is different from aggression. If Alice and Bob, ex ante, agree to have Mandy the mediator settle a contract they have willingly given her authority. Mandy's authority does not depend on a violation of two-party consent. >they're simply not allowed to unload the ship or enter the country The implicit action is that they'll be shot or imprisoned if the refuse to follow the orders. If I own the dock and then the political establishment changes who I can associate with "Anyone except those foreign devils from Country B!" they have effectively stolen from me (called a Taking). I used to have a product that could do X and Y and now only X. Saying that I'm free to immigrate to a different country is theft apology.
