I'm so old I remember Phil disassociating himself from cypherpunks. It was around about that time Halfin said he wasn't a libertarian.

And quite brazenly oxymoronic. Feh!

" . . . Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. 
Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out on themselves. 
Whoever survives the country wins. That would be much simpler and more than just this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting . . ”
