> The existance of the State is an infringement on your rights,

Which rights are these and by what authority are they bestowed? Let's assume I'm an athiest for the sake of argument.

You're positing the existence of natural rights without specifying how they came into being and how they are enforced.

Generally "rights" in the normal sense of the word are created by... well... states.

I'm not naive and I'm aware of the history of anarchist thought. But I'm not sure which flavour you're espousing.

A right is not given to you by an authority. You are free to live your life, as long as you don't control/damage other people.

The State takes away your right to live your life and use your property, and empowers Corporations to make them richer at your cost. In the meantime, the State murders a lot of people.

Your rights must be enforced by yourself until free-market alternatives to the State are created

[andybak]

A "right" is entirely theoretical unless there is a way to ensure it is reflected in reality.

That, sadly, is why any analysis of "rights" is vacuous unless it is accompanied by an analysis of "power".

I wonder if you might be confusing "ought" for "is"?
