interesting, all the right-wing shits on this list
(i.e. Rothbard and Goldwater) were not against the
state as such, just the current one. Rothbard like
the good-little propertarian he was, had not problem
with a monopoly of power and hierarchy over a given
land area as long as it was the boss, not the 
government. Being for a private state is not being
against the state.
