Man's primal, total sovereignty over himself and his individual affairs gets compromised when he lives amongst others in a society, again by definition.

How so?
I live amonst others. I decide when I wake up, when I brush my teeth, when I jerk off (I know you'd add that one if I left it out, Mickey), when I go to work, who I work for. I decide how and when I interact with others. Oh, except for the state. Now, how is it that this involuntary interaction is *required*, by *definition*?
Sure, occasionally I get mugged, or someone's dog poops in my yard without my explicit consent; but these involuntary interactions are not a *necessary* part of living amongst others.
