RE: Help me ancaps. I'm confused.
by DEFINITION the state has a monopoly of (in state) violence.
That's not an An-Cap view..
That's a statist position.

No I understand that the state has a monopoly on state/organized violence and I agree. What I don't understand is what was the reason for the state to be created in the first place and how does an ancap plan to remove it from society?
The state was created by Robbers. Those who would rather steal from their fellow man rather than do something worthwhile on their own. To legitimize their theft, they created Religion. "pie in the sky..by and by...right now get TO WORK".
so it has been since the agricultural revolution.
