Read my posts with more care, please. Repeating myself is becoming very tedious.

Expressing uncertainty about whether something is true or not is not the same as being on the fence. I very clearly said I see no reason why a state MUST exist for there to be a maximally free society. If you still don't understand: I think we can achieve a maximally free society without a state. This is the core of the libertarian anarchist philosophy. But I recognize that I could be wrong. Maybe in order to have a maximally free society, we do need a minimal state. If that ends up being the case, then so be it, I'll be a minarchist. This is why I say I'm pro-liberty before anti-state. Your short-sighted dictionary definitions do this discussion no justice.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Do I need to clarify anything else?
