once again you are free to go live in the woods.The problem with government is that the people that don’t want it, can’t opt out. They get forced to be a part of, physically.

So if I’m living freely in the woods I can grow poppies and sell the product from my home?once again you are free to go live in the woods.

Slavery has been allowed in many democracies. That tells you all you need to know about government.That's concise and true.
It's even worse when indoctrinated people go thru verbal and mental contortions to spout the platitudes the people that control them have given them to use as justifications.
Akin to slave on slave violence. They even use a form of "slave talk" and tell you if you don't like it here, you should try one of those other plantations, (or political countries) where THOSE masters are really mean!
if you live in the woods i'd imagine growing poppies would be the least of your concerns

That's a great quote, but by itself it's only a counter-assertion, so let us continue to the argument. The claim is that rights come (or are granted by) either "society" or "the state". First, let's understand that the two assertions are the same: in a democracy the state is controlled by majoritan tyranny (see The State is Us), and in other types of state, presumably the "society" version of the assertion would not be made. We can consider the case that it is meant that society actually means everyone, but that does not hold up to scrutiny: if I withdraw my consent for someone to be free, they do not become bound.Rights are not tokens handed out by countries. You always have rights. The state has no more authority to hand out rights than a clown at the circus. — Hugh Diedrichs

It tends to be cities that promote pro government thinking. Those people have been so dependent their entire lives, they can’t picture a world without their provider/protector/enslaver.

a free market is antithetical to human rightsWhat if a free market was the solution because it doesn't use power over others and respects rights?

there's no true consentual trade possible without regulation.That's a bold assertion.
You and I making a consensual trade using things we both were born with or rightfully acquired violates other's rights how?
there's no true consentual trade possible without regulation.
with or without regulation, you (the seller) WILL commit acts of violence against me and my family (the consumers and the innocent bystanders)... the regulation helps ensure the least amount of rights- stepping.
if you disagree, can you ask your billionaire uncle if i can borrow some money?
surely can't you do that very same trade right now? afterall, we don't live in a free market...
nobody can trade unless it's a free market, obviously.
