So Rothbard is okay with taking government money?

Perhaps you could state your position on the matter? So far I have tried several times to put your position down in my own words and each time you have told me I am wrong, and how I am wrong, but you haven’t provided me with your position on the matter in a concise manner. I am trying to figure out your position by piecing it together from all of the statements you have made but since those statements are spread out over 6 pages of dialog and some are related to your position while others are simply refuting other positions this is no easy task.

My position is that by using accounting methods we can start to provide proof of ownership for things stolen by the state. This opposes the notion that once the state steals, title is erased.

Is it acceptable in your mind for a proclaimed anarchist (libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, etc.) to accept handouts from the state? If not, why is it unacceptable to you?

That’s a value judgment. I’m not making those. I also have no idea what “acceptable” means in the context of the question.

If someone is for non-aggression, and they don’t regard the state as aggressive, then I think that is a failure to understand non-aggression.

If someone walks on a sidewalk, I’m not sure that is an explicit endorsement of the state. The state creates obstacles for us, I don’t see traversing those obstacles to pursue things we would otherwise be able to do in a free market as “using the state”.
