It's neccesary to make his argument intelligible.
If I simply stated "The State is unnecessary, because there are 50 stripes on the American Flag" you would want an explanation on why that's important, why that's relevant, and why I feel this is a strong argument. If I responded to questions on this matter with lines like "you tell me" I could not be regarded as arguing in good faith.
So far, Cutlass has only offered vague platitudes and has refused to elaborate on the substance of his argument. If he can't mount a moral argument against slavery, then he can't mount a moral defense of the state.
Ok, I'll give it a try. As a libertarian, I believe slavery is wrong because it imposes labour (and sometimes, even sex) on people who do not want to perform it. Since the people involved didn't voluntarily sign a slavery contract, this constitutes agression. Agression is wrong.
