"... The non aggression principle allows self defense.  You commies started this, we are going to finish it..." Jimmy, I am a long time anarchist going back to the 70's writing about democracy in crypto. You, on the other hand are supposed to be a ' recovering Marxist' , yet one who supports the  worlds leading Marxist-Communist, Xi Jinping.  Are you commies having another Red Army purge? "... Self defense has to be collective to be effective, and collective self defense is apt to become not very libertarian, let alone anarchist, at all, but the difference is that anarchists intend to impose a just peace in which the non aggression principle is observed, because of what happens when it is not observed..." Sounds like ' Soviet anarchist " propaganda combined with the May-Hettinga- Rothbardian lunacy. I say the first thing any just peace needs today is the pro-active assassination of Xi Jinping. Just peace sometimes requires offense-as-best-defense.
