Imagine a libertarian anarcho state. In this state, a group of people form a community that has certain income redistribution. There is a lean and efficient democratic governing body that manages this redistribution. Everything is stated in the contract, and of course everyone can leave whenever he wishes. Would you want to be part of such community?

Hehe, yeah right. I'd be happy to trade with those people, but I'll personally opt out of any income redistrubtion, thank you very much.

If I could join holding my meager 100 oz. of silver and leave with 100 oz. of gold shortly thereafter, sure!
