I just gave you an example of how government force was required to accomplish the goal of abolishing slavery
You say you're against government force under all circumstances
You say you're against slavery
So how would we have passed the 13th amendment (abolishing slavery) without the use of government force?
You are holding two contradictory beliefs at the same time
No, government force didn't end slavery. It changed the form of it, that's all. If you'd like I can argue that point easily, but I'll hold off for now,
I am against the initiation of aggression / force, no matter who wields that stick. That doesn't mean I am opposed to defensive force.
I am against slavery, and I am opposed to coercion based governments, since they BOTH use the exact same means to exist. I am an abolitionist, you are not. On one hand you correctly disfavor the use of initiated force to keep people enslaved, but then when it is government using the same exact tactic, you embrace it. You are the one believing in two opposing things at once, not me.
I am not holding two different beliefs. I consistently oppose using a means which arises from coercion. BOTH, slave holders and government use the same means. Your assertion has been refuted.
