I think "technical problem" is widely misunderstood.
The point is that we recognize that such people will exist (just like bad weather and disease) and we take whatever measures we need to to reduce their damage (just like we do with bad weather and disease).
Clothes, shelter, insurance, levies, etc. protect us against nature.
Medicine, hygiene, insurance, and doctors protect us against disease.
Guns, security services, insurance, etc protect us against rights violators.

I guess that also means the laws preventing self-defense have to be removed and the castle doctrine put in place for everyone, plus no retreat laws. It is hard to see in places where these laws are already in effect. The local tyrants seem to have the self-defense, especially against them all shut down.

I always thought that Hoppe’s ideas were hopium. Those with the power and money, like the Rothschild and etc. Don’t really want to be separated from all that raw power and pelf. The only way we could get from here to there would be ugly, IMHO.

Yeah, I think we're going to get to see it. Evil people can't be expected to give up power easily.
That doesn't mean they can hold onto power, though.

Yes, everyone will be paying the price to free ourselves from THEM.
You know what the price is, don’t you?
