“At the core of proper government theory is the principle of the Rule of Law: that everyone is subject to the same law, that everyone can know that law, and that therefore everyone can always act knowing whether his actions are legal or not. Without the Rule of Law, there is no possibility of a law that it would be rational to consent to: it is not rational to consent to anyone else’s use of force against one, without knowing when or where that force will be used against one. At first blush, the anarchist vision looks like an extension, or even a fulfillment, of the Rule of Law principle. However, some thought shows that it is not only no such thing, but that it in fact jettisons that principle completely.” (07/01/09)
