You would have the freedom to try to put cameras in my home, I would have the freedom to try and stop you or take them down again. Shock horror, personal agency

  Unless amelius is stronger than you, or has better weapons, or commands a gang that is bigger than your gang, then you can't stop them. Its almost like you need some sort of power structure with the monopoly on violence to enforce agreed upon freedoms, they could be called the "government" which enforces "laws".

    >stronger than you, or has better weapons, or commands a gang that is bigger than your gang, then you can't stop them How do you not realize you're literally describing government?

      How can you not realize that’s the point? Monopoly on violence is just that, the definition of the state. Anarchy is not a stable system, you have no property rights or freedoms without a way to enforce them. You provide no alternative, a government will form from a power vacuum made up of whoever has the most physical power around you.

        It can also be companies who put cameras in your home and abuse them.

        >government will form from a power vacuum made up of whoever has the most physical power around you. Yup! My issue with the current system is that The Powers That Be pretend to act in the interest of their subjects(or, actually my issue is that people believe it) instead of being a gang of thugs imposing their will.
