Please bear with me : Suppose a large group of people instigated a code of moral conduct that condones stealing and murder. These people allow stealing and murder among themselves. They could all be located at the same geographical area -- or, then again, not, but be connected/grouped through another criterion.

What would we be supposed to do with 'em, according to your idea of an ideal society ?

As long as they keep it to themselves, I don't see a problem. By joining such a group, one voluntarily agrees not to defend his rights. They aren't aggressing against anyone that did not agree to it.

In Anarcho-capitalism, I can selectively choose not to pursue some damages claims, while choosing to pursue other claims.

Now, a more interesting claim is what happens when a member of such a group decides to leave the group, but other members of the group murder him anyway? I would suspect that the aggressors would be liable, since a contract that *irrevocably* surrenders your property right in yourself is non-enforcable.
